Cinnamon 2.4 Will Include on Linux Mint 17.1 “Rebecca”
Cinnamon is an open source project that provides users with a full featured desktop environment for GNU/Linux operating systems. It is a fork of the GNOME Shell user interface distributed with the GNOME project. It has been designed from the ground up to provide users with a traditional, yet advanced and modern graphical session for their Linux-based operating systems. It's usually deployed on the Linux Mint distribution.Chamgelog Cinnamon 2.4.1
Responsiveness and memory usage:- CJS was rebased on a newer version of GJS in an effort to reduce memory usage and provide faster execution times.
- All Cinnamon components were reviewed and their source code was checked with static analysis tools. Although most of them were small, about 30 memory leaks were fixed.
- Icons used in Cinnamon Settings were added to the Mint-X icon theme. This increased responsiveness (This is specific to Linux Mint so we encourage all artists and distributions to do the same).
- Credit to and similar to GNOME Shell, the Cinnamon desktop now starts with a zoom animation.
- The login sound is now handled directly by Cinnamon (as opposed to cinnamon-settings-daemon) and plays in sync with the login sequence.
- Modules in Cinnamon Settings and categories in the application menu are now sorted alphabetically.
- Similar to Windows, “Super+e” now opens up the home directory.
- Cinnamon 2.4 ships with many small refinements (multiple panel launchers, improvements in the sound applet, removal of the timeout in the logout dialog…etc) and a lot of bug fixes.
Here’s a quick overview of some of the new things in Cinnamon 2.4.
Nemo improvements
The Nemo toolbar was redesigned and the presence of its button were made configurable. A new button (hidden by default) was added to open a terminal in the current directory.
