Univention Corporate Server is an enterprise-class distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux. The company's latest release is Univention Corproate Server (UCS) 5.2-0. Some of the highlights of the new version focus on single sign-on and block list filters: "The central interface to the local system configuration Univention Config Registry (UCR) checks and validates input values now according to the type stored. This avoids errors before they occur. The validation can also be deactivated if necessary. Single sign-on & Single logout now enable conditional authentication flows (e.g. B. by network areas) and secure on-boarding and offboarding processes through OpenID Connect & SAML. Massive time savings for IT administrators in the configuration of the Active Directory Connection with new ones Allow and Deny filters for tailor-made synchronization. Block lists for attributes in the Univention Directory Manager (UDM) prevent the entry of incorrect data such as the use of already assigned mail addresses."

The project is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a new release, OPNsense 25.1: "For an entire decade now, OPNsense is driving innovation through modularising and hardening the open source firewall, with simple and reliable firmware upgrades, multi-language support, fast adoption of upstream software updates as well as clear and stable 2-Clause BSD licensing. 25.1, nicknamed "Ultimate Unicorn", features numerous MVC/API conversions, improved security zones support and documentation, ZFS snapshot support, a new UI look with a light and dark theme, PHP 8.3, FreeBSD 14.2." The release announcement shares a detailed changelog along with migration notes for people performing upgrades from previous versions of the operating system.

The Solus project develops an independent, rolling release distribution with a focus on desktop computing. The project has published Solus 4.7 (also labelled 2025-01-26) which features improved video card support and does away with the old software centre. "We encourage you to try one of the new software centres as a replacement for solus-sc (Solus Software Centre). A new software centre gets you out-of-the-box support for Flatpaks, and better app descriptions through Appstream metadata support. Our contributors and staff have been hard at work adding and fixing the metainfo.xml files used for Appstream support. Our goal is for every packaged GUI application to have a working metainfo.xml file, so that the software centres can show users all kinds of information about an app before they decide to install it. Curious Budgie, GNOME and Xfce users can install GNOME Software, while Plasma users should install Discover." Additional changes, along with screenshots, can be found in the project's release announcement. Download (pkglist): Solus-Budgie-Release-2025-01-26.iso (3,056MB, SHA256, signature, torrent), Solus-GNOME-Release-2025-01-26.iso (3,193MB, SHA256, signature, torrent), Solus-Plasma-Release-2025-01-26.iso (3,270MB, SHA256, signature, torrent). |
