Štefan has been asking for an official changelog for our new release since I did the release. So here goes:


One of the bigger changes with this release is the hwe ISO. This ISO is breaking with the Bodhi tradition of "not forcing kernel updates." These ISOs will be for users that maybe prefer something like that. I get lots of requests for a more up to date kernel and what Ubuntu provides with the Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernels is as up to date as I am willing to provide. And that will be provided for users who are aware there may be some risk or issues with using the Ubuntu HWE kernels.

Thanx Robert

The App Pack ISO contains some software changes compared to the 5.0 release. In addition to featuring Štefan “the waiter” Uram's new work on the MokshaArcGreen theme and naturally that theme will be the theme used by default. This theme includes both a gtk theme and matching icons, this ISO will also include the old default BL 5.0 theme and Icons (faenza).

Also notable is the inclusion of the mintupdate tool to perform system updates.

As no selection of software is going to please all users, each of these packages can be removed without the fear of autoremove removing the whole AppPack selection. With of course the selection of the kernel or EFL, both of which can naturally be updated.
