Tag: 3.8

Hello all.

Its been a while since we are in RC state and I think due to a new Slackware 14.1 release
and due to great effort from Bart and Eugene, it is no much sense to keep this release
back and we release the dropline GNOME 3.8 desktop for Slackware 14.0 OS.

It has some nice improvements in sense of speed and stability over what was gnome 3.6.

Not much to say about that release as it is a direct upgrade for all of you like me still
on slackware 14.0 and dropline gnome 3.6.

More details can be found on the sf.net wiki page on the below link:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/dropline-gnome/wiki/DroplineGnome3_8

The installers for both archs we support are:

i686 installer:
dropline-installer-3.8_r5016-i686-1dl.txz
dropline-installer-3.8_r5016-i686-1dl.txz.md5

x86-64 installer:
dropline-installer-3.8_r5016-x86_64-1dl.txz
dropline-installer-3.8_r5016-x86_64-1dl.txz.md5

Thanks for supporting us, using out desktop, and looking forward for the next upcoming dropline gnome 3.10 release for slackware 14.1 🙂

Hello all !

Its been a while since we lastly posted something. We have been working on the 3.8 release.
This said, now we are ready to release a direct upgrade to the dropline GNOME 3.6 release
for Slackware 14.0 both archs. To not make a short story long I invite you to check more
details about this on our sourceforge.net wiki page.
On this page you will be able to find more detailed information on what has changed.

Although we usually do an alpha release quite stable it does not mean is bug free, this means
that we are counting on your help also to get us that non working stuff sorted out
and help create a final stable release.

You can get the installers from the following locations:

dropline-installer-3.8_r4490-i686-1dl.txz

Hi to all.

Its been quiet for some time here, but this doesn’t mean we have not done anything. The good news are that we have up to now, nearly all the needed stuff built up. This means that except for some packages which need python3 and some others which are a bit more complicated to understand why they want to work , we are going forward to the ALPHA state.

Up to now we have nearly all things in place. There are both installers for i686 and x86_64 architectures ready. You can get them from here. For now this will install all the packages and give you a quite working gnome 3.8 desktop. There are many issues we are fixing and a lots of new packages from gnome 3.8.3 which need to be updated yet.

Despite that, the desktop is quite stable and usable. If you wish to help us, please do not hesitate to enter in touch with us on the various channels we have.
You can also fill up tickets at our sourceforge.net page and help us develop and build a better desktop.

If you are in the graphics or arts area, we also need your help. To say it better, the project is big, and there is plenty of space for anybody and any kind of work somebody wish to help with.

Hey all, as the title says it, we have started the work for the next major release, dropline GNOME 3.8 ! In fact a good progress until now is that we basically have all packages ready and will soon prepare an dropline installer for the ALPHA release of 3.8. This means that we will simply upgrade your dropline GNOME 3.6 install to the newest dropline GNOME 3.8 when it is ready.

Of course you will not be forced to upgrade, but if you will it, it will be as simple as downloading the new installer and run it. The release is target for Slackware and Slackware64 version 14.0 !

That’s all folks !
