Solus's developer Joshua Strobl today announced the embrace of a rolling release model to drive community reform and development. On the 31st Twis Week newsletter, the team announced that the release embraced the rolling release model, meaning that the version that the current user was using would be permanently supported, not the new version that needed to be reinstalled. Solus founder and chief developer Ikey Doherty revealed that the model is more than any engineering practice and is able to deliver updates to users faster.
[img] Solus 1.2.1 will be released next week, but now Solus has become a rolling release, which is a milestone change for those new to the OS, so there's no need to capture a lot of updates immediately after the installation is complete. The Solus 1.2.1 will contain the GNOME 3.20 stack update, and the audio system uses PulseAudio 9. Also included are Mozilla Thunderbird 45.2.0, UGet 2.0.8, darktable 2.0.5, Lollypop 0.9.112, Mesa 12.0.1 3D Graphics Library and samba 4.3. 11 and so on. |
