NEW • Distribution Release: elementary OS 8.0 |
Rate this project
|
The elementary OS project has announced the release of version 8.0 of the project's Ubuntu-based distribution. The new release focuses on adjusting application permissions and expanding the default Flatpak repositories: "Application settings has an all-new design that expands your control over permissions. We now support adjusting the run-time permissions in Flatpak's Permissions Store - these are set when an app explicitly asks for your permission to access a feature while it's running. So if you've previously denied an app access to run in the background or granted an app permission to set the wallpaper, you can change your mind at any time and adjust permissions here. We've also adjusted the language of install-time permissions - aka sandbox holes - to be more clear that these represent advanced system access and the implications of adjusting them. Plus the descriptions of several individual items were changed based on your feedback to use less technical language. And app permission pages now show the app's icon and description." Details on the changes along with screenshots can be found in the release announcement. Download (SHA256, pkglist) and purchase options are offered on the project's home page. |

YunoHost is a Debian-based distribution which strives to make it easy to quickly set up a server and host web applications. The project has relesed a new version based on Debian 12 "Bookworm". "YunoHost now depends on Debian 12. The user portal and SSO (Single Sign On) system have been split into three distinct pieces: SSOwat now only manages the SSO/ACL logic (as a nginx Lua middleware); yunohost-portal-api: A new “portal API” service delivering authentication cookies and allowing users to retrieve/update infos; yunohost-portal: A new login and homepage web portal. Simplified subdomain addition during app install (they can now be installed with a Let’s Encrypt certificate directly from the app install form instead of going through dozens of clicks). The installation script has been reworked with a simpler flow and UI (instead of the old ncurses/whiptail). The base YunoHost setup is now lighter: MySQL/MariaDB and PHP are not installed by default anymore (apps will explicitly depend on them hence everything gets installed only when needed)." Additional information is provided in the project's release announcement. Download: yunohost-bookworm-12.0-amd64-stable.iso (691MB, SHA256, signature, pkglist). |

The Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE) distribution is is a Debian-based, open-source virtualisation platform for running virtual appliances and virtual machines. The project's latest release, Proxmox 8.3 Virtual Environment, improves its software-defined networking while also updating its kernel and ZFS packages.

The software includes updates to the latest versions of leading open-source technologies for virtual environments like QEMU 9.0.2, LXC 6.0.0 , and ZFS 2.2.6 (with compatibility patches for Kernel 6.11). Alignment of the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) stack with the firewall: The SDN technology allows users to create virtual zones and networks (VNets), enabling them to effectively manage and control complex networking configurations and multitenancy setups via the web interface of Proxmox VE. The SDN stack is now more closely integrated with the firewall, with the ability to automatically generate IP sets for VNets and virtual guests managed by the IP address management plugin. Referencing IP sets in the firewall rules simplifies their creation and maintenance." Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement and in the release notes.
