14 DAY TRIAL // We thought it would never happen, but the Apricity OS team is proud to announce today, December 13, 2016, the official availability of the latest respin ISO images of the Arch Linux-based operating system.
That's right, we're talking about Apricity OS 11.2016, dubbed "Birch," which was released to download more than a week ago, on December 3, 2016. But only now did the team have some time to post a release announcement and let us know what's new in this ISO respin of the GNU/Linux distribution.
"This release consists of several incremental improvements, including an update to Gnome 3.22, a couple new freezedry (command-line) features, and many bugfixes," reads today's announcement. "The handful of theme-parsing errors should be fixed now, as should the bug in which the installer gets stuck at around 92% or 93% completion."
As you can see, the Apricity OS 11.2016 ISO respin ships with various fixes for long-standing bugs and annoyances that users reported from the previous build, namely Apricity OS 09.2016, and updates some of the packages distributed as part of the GNOME Stack for the GNOME 3.22 desktop environment, probably based on 3.22.2.
Being based on Arch Linux, Apricity OS is always synced with the upstream repositories, so if you're running a healthy Apricity OS installation, there's no need for you to download the Apricity OS 11.2016 ISO respin, just make sure you have all the latest updates applied by running the "sudo pacman -Syu" command in a terminal emulator.
