-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the new TDE R14.0.3 release. The Trinity Desktop Environment is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software. R14.0.3 is the third maintenance release of the R14.0 series, and is built on and improves the previous R14.0.2 version. Maintenance releases are intended to promptly bring bug fixes to users, while preserving overall stability through the avoidance of both new features and major codebase re-factoring.

R14.0.3 Release Notes This section highlights some of the most important fixes introduced by this release * Fixed floppy support in media manager * Improved handling of various types of discs in media manager * Fixed an annoying bug with zip file support that prevented some applications (such as KOffice and k3b) from opening their own saved files * Fixed detection of mime types not contained in TDE settings (using magic library) which prevented sound files from being played in some recent distros * Added giflib 5.1 support * Added ruby 2.2 support * Fixed a bunch of security issues The complete list of bugs fixed in this release is available at https://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/showdependencytree.cgi?id=2540&hide_resolved=0 .

Two good places to start communication are the project's mailing lists at https://www.trinitydesktop.org/mailinglist.php and its bug tracker at https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org . Developers Wanted The TDE development team is small but friendly. If you wish to participate in the TDE development process, please visit the Get involved page for additional information. Contribute to the TDE Project Creating TDE requires significant computing resources and bandwidth. Please consider helping to keep us online with a donation on our donations page at https://www.trinitydesktop.org/donate.php . In particular, the TDE project has extended full support to the OpenPOWER platform, using real OpenPOWER hardware, as this may be the only open workstation/server class computing platform available in the future. Please help us to keep improving this port with your donations. Thank you for your ongoing support. Without your financial assistance, TDE would not be possible!
