Ubuntu 19.04 “Disco Dingo”.

Martin Wimpress has announced the launch of Ubuntu MATE 19.04 which ships with version 1.20 of the MATE desktop and updated video drivers. "Ubuntu MATE 19.04 is shipping with MATE Desktop 1.20. Albeit, the latest maintenance release of MATE Desktop 1.20 with some of the bug fixes and new features from MATE Desktop 1.22 included. In fact, the version of MATE Desktop being shipped in 19.04 is derived from the same MATE packages that will feature in the upcoming Debian 10 (Buster) release. You may be wondering why we're not shipping MATE Desktop 1.22? The answer: stability. MATE Desktop 1.22 introduces some underlying API changes in core components and while all first party MATE Desktop applications are compatible with the changes and completely stable, some third party applications are not. Some third party applications are big crashers now and we've not been able to fix them in time. So, we are playing it safe and sticking with MATE Desktop 1.20 and working with upstreams so we can land MATE Desktop 1.22 early in the Ubuntu MATE 19.10 development cycle."

Ubuntu Studio 19.04 “Disco Dingo”.


The Ubuntu Studio team has published a new release, Ubuntu Studio 19.04. The new release is supported for nine months and ships with a new audio plugin host called Carla. "Officially released on April 15, 2019, Carla 2.0.0 has been added to Ubuntu Studio to replace the outdated jack-rack and add more functionality. Carla is an audio plugin host that can handle many different types of plugins, from Ladspa to DSSI to LV2 to VST. In fact, if you install the WINE bridge (not installed by default), Carla can host Windows-compiled VST plugins. Carla can also act as a plugin itself, allowing your DAW to use any audio plugin. Carla also includes a patchbay, which is functionally similar to that of Patchage. Ubuntu Studio Controls has been upgraded to 1.7 with many bugfixes, and is now the preferred method for starting Jack. As such, we ask that you discontinue use of QJackCtl for starting Jack. QJackCtl remains a good way to monitor Jack’s performance and logs."

Definita la data di rilascio per il ciclo di sviluppo di GNOME 3.34, beta, RC e versione finale.

Occorre essere obbiettivi e non sarà facile per gli sviluppatori superare il successo della tanto acclamata versione di GNOME 3.32, che ha portato con sé alcune patch che garantiscono prestazioni, perfezionamenti e funzionalità che rendono l'interfaccia grafica stabile e fluida.

Nuove funzionalità, nuovo tema GTK, un nuovo stile con un set di icone aggiornato, miglioramenti delle prestazioni: GNOME 3.32 è questo e tanto altro.

Però per un'istante guardiamo oltre e soffermiamoci sul programma di rilascio per il ciclo di sviluppo di GNOME 3.34, dove le tre date di riferimento di nostro interesse sono:

GNOME 3.4 definita la data di rilascio.

 La data di rilascio per GNOME 3.34

  • GNOME 3.34 Beta : 21 agosto 2019
  • Release Candidate di GNOME 3.34 : 4 settembre 2019
  • Rilascio stabile di GNOME 3.34.0 : 11 settembre 2019

Si potrà notare che c'è un leggero ritardo rispetto agli anni precedenti nella data di rilascio, causato dalla concomitanza di altri eventi, come per esempio il GUADEC, cioè la conferenza degli utenti e degli sviluppatori di GNOME.

I miglioramenti.


Al momento, essendo troppo presto, non possiamo affermare con certezza quali saranno i miglioramenti che introdurrà la prossima versione.



Comunque tra le vociferate ipotesi si parla di:

  •  ulteriori miglioramenti nelle prestazioni di Shell e Mutter
  • miglioramenti nelle applicazioni Foto e Musica e 
  • qualche sperimentazione sul funzionamento della schermata di messaggistica/notifica con l'utilizzo del noto programma GSconnect.

Questa versione contiene anche alcuni importanti nuovi sviluppi.
