Unix Tutorial Digest – September 1st, 2019
August 2019 has been a really strong month for me, I posted every single day which makes it the most successful month at Unix Tutorial to date. I don’t have any more holidays planned any time soon so expect the number and quality of posts to be stable for the rest of 2019!
As always, please get in touch to arrange a technical consultation with me or want to suggest a useful link for the next Unix Tutorial digest.
Unix and Linux News
- Linux Mint 19.2 released!
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 is released – I’m still using RHEL7.6 and RHEL8.0 beta though
Software News
- Chris Beard leaves his CEO post with Mozilla – just when things are getting interesting and so much great news are reported around Firefox! He’s leaving position on good terms and staying with Mozilla though.
- FFmpeg 4.2 released after 9 months of development – AV1 video format gets a lot of support at last! Tons of new video processing filters as well.
- Huawei revealed their Harmony OS – and someone thought Android licensing pressure would stop them!
- QEMU 4.1.0 is released – this reminds me: need to write a few posts about it soon
- GIMP forked as Glimpse – seems like an interesting idea as it’s not just about naming GIMP graphics editor as something friendlier – they are going to fix some long standing bugs and address feature requests as well.
- Thunderbird 68.0 released – it’s actually been ages since I used this client – must give it another try!
Interesting and Useful
