The 64bit and 32bit of 16.04.1 Release Candidate is available for download.
Some simple notes as this is an RC and not the release announcement. Canonical has not officially released 16.04.1 and while this is the RC and will most likely just be updated and checked one more time before the actually release. The wiki documentation is still not complete. It will be when officially announced.
Here are some of the features in this release. Btrfs file system base Auto detect dual monitors Expose like window picker Lightweight app launcher i3lock screen with autoblur 'Aero' window snap feature Enhanced menu speed Assistive Technology apps Detailed startup splash Random Wallpaper & Interval Wallpaper changer Terminal based Weather app Mate & Mint app additions Condensed 'Control Menu' uCareSystemCore update manager Security updates are auto installed

LXLE is more than a slightly altered Lubuntu or LXDE system based on Ubuntu. Each program if need be is customized for style, features and efficiency. SeaMonkey and it's components are a good example of this. Not every program is altered but all programs are inspected, if their default states fit the bill it's left alone. If not it's adjusted accordingly.
There is a difference in file size between the 32bit and the 64bit, this is due to some packages naturally being larger for the 32bit version. The 32bit was built twice from scratch resulting in the same exact size. The iso's are the same.
I installed the 64bit 16.04.1 rc THREE TIMES! I have found that using menu-edit "Menulibre' it completely wrecked the program organization. It re-arranges most of the applications and files into new categories with the consequence that many of the programs (including pcmanfm) will not open from the task bar icons. Maybe you are already aware of this but those who are not, be warned! o.
Yeah, just playing opening and closing Menulibre I found it exposed some new items and hid others; it exposed these items: Electronics, Hamradio, Other (plus categories), Debian, and then hid the Control Menu from the main menu drop down list...I have a screenshot image which I'll get in here somehow of this in Menulibre...
Yes, I experienced the same result.I suspect the ' menulibre' app is a previous (older) version and maybe needs updating? I have deleted this rc.1 version ( I just don't have the time to 'work' on it) and will wait until the final distribution release arrives
