Cinnamon Gnome-Shell Fork Releases Version 1.2

Posted by Unknown on from the making-gnome3-usable dept.

New submitter Novin writes with exciting news from the Cinnamon project. Quoting the release announcements: "Cinnamon 1.2 is out! All APIs and the desktop itself are now fully stable! I hope you'll enjoy the many new features, the desktop effect, desktop layouts, the new configuration tool, the applets, changes, bug fixes, and improvements that went into this release. This is a huge step forward for Cinnamon." The release reintroduces desktop effects, fixes a slew of bugs, and introduces a new applet API (fixing a number of issues intrinsic to shell extensions).

    I resent that comment. Nothing about GNOME/Linux/Cinnamon is well-polished!

    This is one of those wonderful headline that will read as utterly bizzare nonsense to most of the world.
