Salix Xfce 14.0.1
Posted: 17. Jul 2013, 09:42
Salix Xfce 14.0.1 is ready! There have been a lot of updates in the 14.0 branch, including several security updates that prompted this new release. Salix Xfce 14.0.1 is based on Xfce 4.10 and comes with an updated 3.2.45 kernel that fixes several security issues, LibreOffice updated to version 4.x, java security updates, an update to Midori, our main browser to version 0.5.2 along with an updated webkit engine that includes a lot of stability fixes plus a lot more security updates to several packages like flash-plugin, pidgin, perl, Xorg etc. A couple of minor bugs that were also present after the original 14.0 release are fixed now.
Also, the screensaver is disabled by default now, as it seems there were a few cases with some graphics cards acting up with certain 3D screensavers. So, this is probably the safest way to avoid any crashes. Any users that want to enable the screensaver can certainly do it from the respective entry in the Settings menu in Xfce.
Users that have installed 14.0 and have kept up with package updates do not need to replace their installations with this one, but new installations should be made with this iso, to spare the user a lot of package upgrades (including a kernel upgrade that could go bad for inexperienced users) after installation.
As always, this release is available in 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. You can download the iso images from Sourceforge or by using a torrent client
