Only minor changes in this version such as polish, theme cohesion, browser enhancements and bug squashing.

Just two small software changes occurred. The first was replacing Xsane scanner with Flegita to provide a simpler interface with some nice options for scanning while also integrating with Gimp.

Xscreensaver was replaced with light-locker since Xscreensaver had been causing conflicts with Winpick. Switching to light-locker seems to have resolved that while also freeing up some ram.

LX-Colors themes for openbox/gtk is now standard, providing numerous elegant themes for the LXDE desktop. LXLE now uses the LX-Mixed theme as it's default system wide look. The elementary icon set has also been updated system wide, this includes the default icon set used in Libreoffice, etc. The login screen was also adjusted to match the new theme.

SeaMonkey received a fair amount of attention. Streamlining extensions while adding features such as a user defined and configurable dynamic startpage/new tab location. Video streaming was also addressed to ensure quality video streaming with a focus using fewer resources.

System event sounds were re-enabled using the appropriate gstreamer / pulse audio libraries as the alsa to gstreamer backend was no longer working as intended.

On a personal note, development has been hindered as I am forced daily to use my opposite hand to control my mouse as I've finally developed, probably long overdue, carpal tunnel in my wrist. While ambidextrous, I am unpracticed so while still 'fast' I'm not quite as 'fast'.

I've also found myself fairly heavily involved with our new set top box the Mad Catz Mojo android platform. It's been better than expected and sucking up a considering portion of my time. Its pretty awesome and I'm considering giving it a formal review.

Outside of that the usual is always appreciated which are bug reports, solutions, ideas and pointing out any silly errors that may have been overlooked so all can be addressed before release.

All software has been updated to their latest stable release given what is available in their relative repositories/ppa's. The betas/pre-release can be found here on Sourceforge.

Thanks,
Ronnie
