Ubuntu MATE 16.10 Alpha 1 发布

Ubuntu MATE 16.10 Alpha 1 发布了，

自Ubuntu MATE 16.04以来的更新：

Luke Horwell for developing Ubuntu MATE Welcome and Software Boutique.
Robin Thompson for migrating MATE Dock Applet to GTK3+
Alexei Sorokin for migrating MATE Menu to GTK3+
Wolfgang Ulbrich for adding GTK 3.18 theme support to Ambiant MATE and Radiant MATE.
Mike Gabriel for reviewing and sponsoring uploads of MATE 1.14 to Debian.
Vlad Orlov for migrating MATE components to GTK3+ and fixing Indicator support in MATE Desktop 1.14.
GNOME Main Menu (as used in the openSUSE layout) has been dropped. * No one in the MATE team believes this applet is good enough to port to GTK3+. As it is GTK2+ only and has nobody to port or maintain it, this applet will be dropped for good.
The openSUSE layout is currently missing, but will be re-instated in MATE Desktop 1.16. * This will feature a different menu applet.
The Mutiny layout is currently missing but will be re-instated when the topmenu-gtk MATE applet has been rebuilt for GTK3+
Pidgin will no longer be installed by default
- Pidgin is now available in the Software Boutique.
Cheese is not currently installed by default but will be re-instated as a default application when merge proposal 298171 is merged and released.
- Cheese is available in the Software Boutique.
Indicator Session is not currently available in Ubiquity while installing Ubuntu MATE but will be re-instated when merge proposal 297183 is merged and released.
All the Ubuntu MATE seeds and meta-packages have been completely overhauled**.
- Basically we’ve started over, and completely rebuilt Ubuntu MATE 16.10 from the ground up.
- It is now possible to safely uninstall all the default applications without the ubuntu-mate-desktop package also being removed.
- Memory consumption of Ubuntu MATE 16.10 Alpha 1 is lower than that of Ubuntu MATE 16.04.
New community contributed wallpapers from:
- Ghost Sixtyseven
- Jordyn
- Okinawa
- Per Andersson
Upgraded to MATE Desktop 1.14, which is now built entirely against GTK 3.18.
- Indicator support for MATE Desktop, when built against GTK3+, has been significantly improved.
- Ambiant-MATE and Radiant-MATE themes have been completely reworked to support GTK 3.18.
- We have initial HiDPI support (almost) working. Don’t get too excited, this is an all or nothing implementation. When enabled all GTK3+ applications (not just MATE) will be rendered using high quality pixel doubling. If you have a 2160p display, it looks ace :-D
- You can find out what changed in MATE Desktop 1.14 from the upstream release announcement.
Upgraded Ubuntu MATE Welcome to 16.10.4
- Ported to WebKit2 4.0. The transitions and animations are now hardware accelerated (where supported) and it looks very smooth indeed.
- Sports a new look and many visual and usability enhancements.
- Getting Started section offers much more assistance for a post install setup and configuration. (Some elements back ported to 16.04)
- Adds driver installer for Logitech’s Unifying Receiver peripherals.
- New builds are automatically tested.
- Testers can check out this daily PPA, including packages for Xenial users wanting to test new versions of Welcome.
- Detailed system specifications can now be copied to the clipboard.
- Assorted performance optimisations.
Upgraded Software Boutique.
- Adds News to inform you of additions/removals to the Software Boutique. (Back ported to 16.04)
- Adds Search facility so you can quickly find software by name, keyword and description. (Back ported to 16.04)
- Adds Bulk queue installs so you can queue up multiple applications to install at once.
- Adds a responsive design** so you can see more software listings when resizing or maximising the Software Boutique window.
- Software Boutique now stocks ~160 applications. (Back ported to 16.04)
- Introduces a new feature to display a complete list of all applications and the repositories they are sourced from.
- Support added for installing software for arm64 and ppc64el architectures.
- Software install and removal notifications now use the associated application icon.
Upgraded MATE Tweak
- Splits up the UI and introduces a new Panel section.
- Can now change icon sizes and menu item icon sizes in the panel, exposing a new MATE Desktop 1.14 capability. This has two benefits, bigger icons for high resolution displays and, if you are so inclined, large panels suitable for touch input but without changing the desktop metaphor.
- Supports enabling new GTK3+ indicators.
- Supports xcompmgr compositor, the preferred compositor to use along side the Raspberry Pi hardware accelerated VC4 drivers.
- Tilda is no longer enabled by default. Tilda is still installed by default, but can now be optionally enabled via MATE Tweak.
Upgraded MATE Dock Applet which now supports GTK3+
Upgraded MATE Menu which now support GTK3+
