19/8/2016

Today marks the release of the RC of feren OS's best version yet, 2016.2. Many things have been improved in this RC from 2016.2 BETA and it means we're one step from Stable. Now is more important than ever to report any bugs you find through the 'Send Feedback' Application as we've already fixed most of the bugs we've found in BETA this time around.

Changes from 2016.2 BETA:

  • BETA has been replaced with RC
  • All the latest packages and updates have been installed into the RC
  • FIXED every bug except one which needs GTK Theme reconstruction to fix
  • The Live CD Boot Screen now shows a USB icon with blue dots underneath it
  • feren OS's boot screen has been moved to it's own respective folder to keep it from being reset to Linux Mint's boot screen theme
  • feren OS's (installed system) boot screen is now black with a white logo to look nicer and to reduce eye strain
  • Vivaldi is now on 1.3 Stable and now has it's own themes for feren OS GTK Unification with the browser
  • Speed Dial Thumbnails in Vivaldi have been changed to their respective defaults with Vivaldi Community now sporting an animated tile and the feren websites having their own tile images
  • Some added miscellaneous applications
  • Variety is now on 1.6.2 (New mode: Safe Mode)
  • New Application: PlayOnLinux
  • New Application: Steam
  • feren Cinnamon theme: Applets now have a flattened hover effect
  • Mint Sources now has feren OS icons on its sections
  • Mint Backup also now sports feren OS icons in it
  • Some more new stuff I forgot about...

Known Bugs:

  • GTK: Dark Themes have disappearing GTK3 items at random times of theme use (REQUIRES GTK THEME RECONSTRUCTION, WILL BE DONE IN 2017.0)
  • Annoyingly, any updates to Mint tools will reset their artwork to Mint Defaults, I'm currently trying to get a dummy package to make and then work inside a repository of mine so that I can then follow that model to make packages for feren OS apps, etc, and that might even end up in making feren OS Rolling Release some time afterwards... (Not to be fixed anytime soon (Because doing that dummy package is proving to be a pain to get working) and doesn't affect anything other than changing some icons back to the ones you'll see in Linux Mint 18...)

Today marks the release of the BETA of feren OS's best version yet, 2016.2. Many things have been improved in this BETA from 2016.2 ALPHA and it means we're nearly there in terms of Stable, though, it still has its own set of bugs included with it.

Changes from 2016.2 ALPHA:

  • ALPHA has been replaced with BETA
  • Live CD Bootloader has been changed from Linux Mint's one to feren OS's
  • XnRetro is back
  • Atom has replaced VS Code
  • Adapta now has its own preview thumbnails
  • New Installer Slideshow
  • Arc now has its icon set
  • Automatic Updates are now enabled
  • WINE is back
  • Numix Frost now works properly
  • Scalable Bigger Weather Icons for Weather applet on Inspire
  • Inspire Icon Set is now version 1.0.4
  • PPAs added
  • Some user defaults fixes
  • The wallpaper that will be in Stable has now replaced the UNDER CONSTRUCTION wallpapers

Known Bugs:

  • Themer: Windows XP Silver and Olive Green missing theme set(s)
  • Icon Sets: Icons not downloaded until installed system is booted and then the user logs in, if they haven't got a config before the installation
  • Software doesn't install applications on the LiveCD (GNOME Software Bug)
  • GTK: Dark Themes have disappearing GTK3 items at random times of theme use
  • ISO is nearly 4.0GB in Linux, will try to shrink the ISO as much as possible without affecting product quality (in the RC)
  • Initrd: The boot screen will appear fully black on the Live CD, we're working on fixing that.
