Brigantia unofficially out!

hmmmmm testing

I usually just purge Totem and replace with VLC. One of the big plusses (for me at least) of Totem is the thumbnailing feature of videos in Nautilus, but I install ffmpegthumbnailer and run a script to get them back:

EDIT: This worked on Trisquel 5.0 and earlier since they were Gnome 2 based and I cannot replicate on 5.5 or Ubuntu 11.10. I did try this, cleaned out my thumbs, and restarted Nautilus. Now I have thumbnails back in Trisquel 5.5 and Ubuntu 11.10!

Upgrade should be available soon, after the Brigantia will be officially released by quidam (periodically check the home page). If you do not want to wait, you can upgrade now through Terminal with 'update-manager -d'.

How can I change the gnome shell theme in 5.5? There's no shell option in
tweak tool.

It is now official, but there are no new images. Anyone who downloaded an
image built between 11/12-Apr-2012, is bearing the final, stable release
(there is no need to download it again). For those who are going to download
Trisquel 5.5 now, help others by downloading and seeding the torrent. Thank
you and happy GNUing! ;)

What I meant was upgrading through Upgrade Manager. When should we expect
that?

Based on my brief tour of the I18N edition, issued on the 11th of April,
I'd have to agree, though I don't have the hardware with which there
were recent problems. Moving around on the desktop, menus, and within
the apps I tried is blazing fast. The Orca screen reader did not appear
to miss anything or crash. Startup may have been faster than before,
but I did this tour from a flash drive, so, there's some overhead there.
Shutdown was at least as fast as before. I still can't get the gnash
browser plugin to play audio in multi-media files (can work around with
browser add-ons). Libreoffice Calc 3.4 and Orca still not playing well
(updating to LO 3.5 may fix). Evolution and Orca still not playing well
(maybe recommend Orca users get non-gui mail user agent like Alpine)?

That's it for now; Release worth the wait!
