What’s new in MATE 1.20

The theme for this release has been stabilising the MATE Desktop by replacing deprecated code and modernising large sections of the code base. We’ve also improved our window manager (Marco) and added support for HiDPI. Along the way we’ve fixed hundreds of bugs. Squished ‘em dead!

The headline changes in MATE Desktop 1.20 are:

MATE Desktop 1.20 supports HiDPI displays with dynamic detection and scaling.
- HiDPI hints for Qt applications are also pushed to the environment to improve cross toolkit integration.
- Toggling HiDPI modes triggers dynamic resize and scale, no log out/in required.
Marco now supports DRI3 and XPresent, if available.
- Frame rates in games are significantly increased when using Marco.
Marco now supports drag to quadrant window tiling, cursor keys can be used to navigate the Alt + Tab switcher and keyboard shortcuts to move windows to another monitor were added.
Support for Global Menu providers such as vala-panel-appmenu has been added.
MATE Panel has much improved Status Notifier Items (SNI) support.
Bookmarks now support GTK3+ locations.
MATE Terminal now supports background images, adds Solarized themes and keybindings to switch tabs.
Atril, the document viewer, has had a massive overhaul and is better in every single way. Yes, all ways. Better!
- In particular accessibility support for visually impaired users is considerably improved.
- Caret navigation has been added.
The Invest applet has been dropped from MATE Applets.
- The API, provided by Yahoo, has been discontinued and there is no reputable drop in replacement available.
Panel applets now size correctly based on the units being displayed and many graphs are dynamically scaled.
MATE Themes have seen significant improvements to fully implement all style classes exposed by GTK 3.22
Engrampa, the archive viewer, has improved support for encrypted 7z archives.
MATE Sensors Applet (finally) supports udisks2.
OpenBSD authentication is supported in MATE Screensaver and minizip in Atril supports more BSD variants.
Translations are updated. Thank you to our team of translators!
A-n-d for distro maintainers we’ve bumped the minimum GTK3+ and GLib requirements.
- GTK 3.22 and GLib 2.50 or newer are required to build MATE Desktop 1.20.
You might see some references to Wayland in the changelog below, don’t get too excited. It’s not what you think :-)

The various components of MATE Desktop 1.20 are available for download here:

Martin Wimpress

After 6 months of development the MATE Desktop team are proud to announce the release of MATE Desktop 1.18. We’d like to thank every MATE contributor for their help making this release possible.

about

What’s new in MATE 1.18

The release is focused on completing the migration to GTK3+ and adopting new technologies to replace some of deprecated components MATE Desktop 1.16 still relied on.

The headline changes in MATE Desktop 1.18 are:

The entire MATE Desktop suite of applications and components is now GTK3+ only!
- Requires GTK+ >= 3.14.
- All GTK2+ code has been dropped including the --with-gtk build option.
Completed the migration to GtkApplication from libunique.
Added libinput support for mouse and touchpad.
- Separate settings for handedness (left/right-handed) and motion acceleration/threshold.
Much improved accessibility support (particularly for visually impaired users).
- Many thanks to our friends at Hypra.fr for their contribution!
Caja adds several new features including:
- Added a copy queue and copy pausing.
- Asking confirmation before moving files to the Trash.
- Support for back/forward mouse buttons for directory navigation.
- Notification when ejected drives are safe to unplug.
Lock screen will load the users selected background instead of the system defined default.
MATE Panel gets several improvements, including:
- Added desktop actions support for additional launch options.
- Added StatusNotifier support.
- Added support for Menulibre menu editor, if installed it is preferred over Mozo.
Engrampa, the archive manager, includes a number of improvements:
- Added ear and war to the supported types list.
- Check the rar/unrar version to the correct date is shown.
- Fixed compress rar and 7z split into volumes.
Notifications now implement action icons support, for example playback control icons used by media players.
Reworked the font viewer to add font browsing mode, support for TTC fonts and expose it in the menus by default.
Replaced deprecated upower suspend/hibernate functions with ConsoleKit2 equivalents.
MATE Terminal adds the ability to close tabs with middle mouse button.
Atril, the document viewer, has much improved page load times and adds support for unarchiver used by some comics.
Lots of deprecated GTK+ methods have been replaced and many bugs have been fixed.
The plugin systems, and all C and Python plugins, in Eye of MATE and Pluma have been ported to libpeas.
Translations are updated. Thank you to our team of translators!
A number of memory leaks have been plugged.
A-n-d most exciting of all… MATE Calculator is back and has been ported to GTK3+ :-D

Fixes and improvements for GTK3 support across the entire MATE Desktop including GTK 3.18 support.
Touchpad support is significantly improved and now features multi touch and natural scrolling.
Multi monitor support has been improved so the display settings use output names and the revised UI lets you set the primary monitor.
The power applet now displays model and vendor information so you can distinguish between multiple battery powered devices.
Improved session management which now includes screensaver inhibition while playing media.
- MATE now listens to the org.gnome.SessionManager namespace.
Extended systemd support.
Long standing bugs and many little usability paper-cuts were fixed.
- For example, panel applets are no longer reordered when changing screen resolutions.
Translations updated and a number of components now retrieve strings directly from gschema (requires intltool 0.50.1).
Dropped support for win32 and osx.

Meet MATE’s Mastermind

I was fortunate enough to be invited on to Episode 347 of the Linux Action Show to talk a little about MATE Desktop, where it came from and where it is headed. The interview with me is embedded below.

I wasn’t able to cover all the development objectives of MATE 1.10 in the time available so I recommend you take a look at the MATE Roadmap for a complete overview. If you should have any additional questions, or would like to contribute to the project, then we look forward to chatting with you in the #mate IRC channel or reviewing your pull-requests on GitHub.

Jupiter Broadcasting produce a number of weekly videocasts and podcasts mostly oriented around FLOSS. Take a look, you may find something that interests you.

MATE interview with Linux Luddites

Martin Wimpress

2014-10-13 18:55

Linux Luddites were kind enough to interview me last week. We discussed the origins of MATE Desktop, it’s future direction, how Ubuntu MATE came to be and where it is headed.

Linux Luddites Episode #26 was published earlier today and I suggest you head over to the Linux Luddites website and give it a listen.

Linux Luddites Episode #26

If you’ve not listened to the Linux Luddites before then you should checkout their back catalog. It has been one of my favourite FLOSS podcasts for some months now that blends good discussion and insight with useful distro reviews and first impressions.
