The Linux Mint team have announced the release of Linux Mint 21.2 "Victoria" which is based on Ubuntu 22.04 and offers support through to the year 2027. The new release includes a number of improvements to the login screen, Flatpak packages can now be included as Featured items in the software centre, and the layout of the Pix application has been overhauled. "Slick Greeter, which is in charge of the login screen, was given support for multiple keyboard layouts. The indicator located on the top-right corner of the screen opens a menu which lets you switch between layouts. System layouts defined in /etc/default/keyboard are listed first for easy access. Below that a sub-menu lists all supported layouts. Touchpad support was also improved. Tap-to-click is detected and enabled automatically in the login screen. The layout used for Onboard, the on-screen keyboard is configurable. The keyboard navigation was improved. The arrow keys can be used to edit the password which is being typed. A revealer icon appears when the password is clicked or edited. This revealer can be used to toggle the visibility of the password."

IPFire is a Linux distribution that focuses on easy setup, good handling and high level of security and is mostly used on routers and firewalls. The project's latest release focused on bug fixes and minor upgrades, including fixing IPsec certificate generation in some situations. The release announcement shares the highlights: "An edge case related to bug #13138, which caused IPsec root/host certificate generation to fail on the first attempt only, has been fixed. While editing OpenVPN static IP address pools, spaces are now handled correctly again. udev rules for LVM volumes have been fixed, allowing for configured LVM volumes to start properly on boot again. Remove entries for additional mass storage via the web interface of the ExtraHD add-on have been fixed, partially resolving #12863. Filesystem journal features are now always enabled for cloud images, and as soon as a disk with SMART support is detected. misc-progs, the safety net between IPFire's web interface and the core system, have been improved under the hood to allow for better return code enumeration. Stéphane Pautrel has contributed improvements to the French translation of IPFire's web interface." Download (SHA256): ipfire-2.27-core176-x86_64.iso (372MB, torrent, pkglist). |

Updates from RC to final are fully supported. This release builds upon beta 2, and includes all bug fixes and changes to date, including default wallpapers and themes as well as updated translations and applications. In this release we are very interested in installer testing. Many bugs related to Btrfs installations have been addressed. The installer has received many updates since beta 2. The installer now supports swap files as well as swap partitions. The 'regular' auto installation will default to swap files. The live boot menus now have a more obvious 'check media' function in the top level menu. The media will be checked and boot will continue if things look good. Major desktop versions: Xfce 4.18, Fluxbox 1.3.7, KDE Plasma 5.27." Here is the complete release announcement with known issues.

NEW • BSD Release: pfSense 2.7.0 |
Rate this project
|
pfSense is a free, open source customized distribution of FreeBSD specifically tailored for use as a firewall and router that is entirely managed via web interface. pfSense 2.7.0 ships with improvements to firewall performance, fixes some uPnP issues related to running multiple gaming systems on the same network, and upgrades OpenVPN. "Captive portal and limiters moved from ipfw to pf: pf is the default packet filter in pfSense software. These changes leverage L2 features previously added to pf and upstreamed to FreeBSD, and improve performance and stability of the captive portal by eliminating the need for packets to traverse both pf and ipfw.
UPnP and multiple game systems: A fix has been added to address an issue with UPnP and multiple game systems. This resolves the problems some game systems experienced connecting to the internet when UPnP was enabled and multiple consoles are in use. New gateway state killing options: These options give the user more flexibility in how the firewall decides to kill states automatically during failover events and also adds several new manual ways to selectively remove states. Improved Firewall/NAT rule usability: The Firewall/NAT rule interface has been improved to make it easier to create and manage rules. This includes new buttons to toggle multiple rules and copy rules to other interfaces." These, and other changes, are detailed in the release announcement and in the release notes.
