Linux Mint 15 'Olivia' Is Out

[wraggster]

The Linux Mint blog today announced the full release of Linux Mint 15 'Olivia.' (http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2366) Here are the release notes (http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_olivia.php) and a list of new features (http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_olivia_whatsnew.php). As before, it's available with either MATE or Cinnamon as a desktop environment. The included version of MATE has been upgrade to 1.6, which saw many old and deprecated packages replaced with newer technologies. Cinnamon has gone to 1.8, which improved the file manager, added support for 'desklets' (essentially desktop widgets), and completed the transition away from Gnome Control Center to Cinnamon's own settings panel. Other new features of Linux Mint 15 include improved login screen applications (one of which is an HTML greeter that supports HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and WebGL), a tool developed from the ground up to manage software sources in Mint, and a vastly improved driver manager. The project's website sums it up simply: 'Linux Mint 15 is the most ambitious release since the start of the project.
