CyanogenMod 13.0 Release 1 Released (androidpolice.com)
An anonymous reader writes: CyanogenMod 13.0 Release 1 is now available as the Android community's first release based off Google's 6.0 Marshmallow. [...]
Not long after Google released the code for Android Marshmallow, CyanogenMod started rolling out nightly builds. Now, CyanogenMod has officially released its first Snapshot release for those looking for more stable development. Many of the improvements detail changes to the privacy settings. For example, CyanogenMod 13.0 has removed encrypted Whisperpush text messaging, and Privacy Guard has been altered to comply with Marshmallow's new permission model. Some other changes include a new AOSP SMS/MMS application, memory screen that shows memory usage over a selected period of time, new controls for the status bar icons, and an enhanced Snap camera app based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon camera. A Cyanogen Apps pack is not yet available, but should be coming in a week or so.

Since he asked let me add a question myself: now that CyanogenMod is in bedsheets with M$, is there and alternative to put in my smartphone, considering I won't be getting updates from the maker? (yeah, I know, drivers, only supported devices bla-bla-bla, but please do tell me your successful or even not so nice experiences with alternatives to CM -- if they exist, of course)
BTW, running on the desktop is not desired, KDE is more than OK for me.
