2023.04.30: TDE R14.1.0 released!

After 8+ years from R14.0.0 and in line with our standard 6 months release cycle, the Trinity Desktop Environment development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of TDE R14.1.0!

TDE is a free/libre lightweight desktop environment intended for computer users preferring a lean and efficient experience. It is available for various Linux distros, BSD and DilOS. Low on system requirements, it is also an ideal choice for dated hardware, while still providing a fully usable desktop.

This release marks the switch from the R14.0.x series to the newly started R14.1.x one. R14.1.0 comes with support for LUKS disks throughout the whole desktop, new notification system for storage device plug/unplugged events, basic support for PulseAudio and support for PKI infrastructure. It also ships with a new bluetooth GUI (tdebluez), a new multimedia player (kplayer), some new icewm based themes and a new session management and panel in Kate. Several configuration dialog and usability improvements have been made throughout the system and support for Python 2 has been dropped in favour of Python 3.

There are a lot of other changes under the hood, so please refer to the links below for further details.

Upgrading from R14.0.x should be straightforward. Please note that there will be no more releases in the R14.0.x series.

We would like to thank all the people who have contributed to the preparation of this release and we are looking forward for further contributions in future.
