alphaOS 15.0 - 15.4
Posted: 17 Apr 2014, 17:31
I'm starting upload of the new 15.4 iso:
Changes:
- Emendo has tabs support
- Wallpaper setter loads thumbnails asynchronously
- Taeni typing 'exit' closes active tab only, not the whole application
- Added dconf-editor to control center
- Patched SpaceFM to use standard GTK3 bookmarks file
------------------------------------------------------
Changelog for 15.3:
- Improved zoom function in image viewer
- Control center redesigned, now uses IconView instead of buttons
- Added options to Control center for changing tint2 and conky themes, as well as notification gravity
- 4 new tint2 themes
- Updated mpv to 0.4.1: it's still from Arch ARM repo, only newer date
- Connman UI patch for services widget height
- Qt5 applications will now use gtk style by default
------------------------------------------------------
Uploaded new iso with Grub2 and Installer made by Aspi, and added bootlogo for syslinux. Evince is updated to 3.13.3 (new version with headerbar). Voyager now has button to show/hide files list in tree view with animated transition using Gtk.Revealer.
------------------------------------------------------
I've uploaded the new iso 15.1 with not that many changes:
- Fixed problem with mpv process remains active after gmp-video is closed
- Applications menu now uses GtkPopover
- Improved tabs in Taeni: make them reordable, and hidden when only one tab is opened
- Zoom and Speed menu options in GMP Video
- New conky theme
- Gtk theme is now based on Numix, with just colors changed

------------------------------------------------------
alphaOS 15.0 is built from Arch packages on this date: 2014/04/16. Uses kernel 3.14.1, mesa 10.1, xorg-server 1.15.1. Iso includes Gtk3 programs exclusively, and does not contain any browser. Mplayer2 is removed in favor of mpv as its successor. Connman-ui is the default network manager.
Following packages are recompiled to enable Gtk3 support:
- obconf (git version),
- lxappearance (patched to improve logo in about dialog and work with Gtk3 themes by default),
- lxinput,
- lxrandr,
- lxtask (patched to improve logo in about dialog and add headerbar),
- gtkdialog (svn version).
New scripts included:
- Dialog for (de)activating bundles with one click /usr/bin/bundle-gui, written in YAD.
- Script /usr/bin/web-browser for launching installed browser. Launcher in tint2 panel use this script which goes through list of browser to start one that is installed.
Changes:
- Use Gtk.Application class in all apps except Emendo, with Gnome like App Menu, and single window mode - for example when you have video playing in GMP Video, then click on new video file in File manager it will open new file in that same window.
- Voyager and playtv: replaced Gtk.Grid with Gtk.Paned,
- Playtv, gmp-video, simple-radio: switch backend to mpv,
- Gmp-video: keyevents Page_Up, Page_Down for fast forward/backward,
- Fixed toram bootcode with large save file (thanks to Scooby).
- Simple radio: control volume level with scroll wheel,
- Emendo: Ctrl+Wheel change font size,
- Taeni: added tabs support...
