Clean system as always allows us to remain simple and fast. You'll see that this release is a little bit bigger as we include the linux-firmware package as in the previous release and also llvm a allow a few X.Org drivers to work properly. Most significant technical aspects are:
- Linux kernel 4.8.15 and glibc 2.24.
- New kpkg version provides support for checking available upgrades before fetching and upgrading (diff option).
- GTK3 is now included as part of the distribution.
- UI's look & feel has been improved and both, GTK+ 2 and GTK3, are themed to make both toolkits to work together in a seamlessly way.
- Chromium 56.0.2924.28 that supports latest glibc. (Previous versions of chromium breaks with glibc 2.24)
