Mint improves Wrapinator security and file manager performance |
|
The Linux Mint team are preparing for their upcoming version 21.2 release. Some of the changes coming to 21.2 will include better performance from the Nemo file manager when generating a lot of thumbnails and security fixes to the Warpinator file sharing utility. "In preparation for Linux Mint 21.2, the changes below were implemented. Nemo 5.8 will feature multi-threaded thumbnails. Instead of generating each thumbnail one by one, Nemo will generate multiple thumbnails in parallel. This uses more CPU but it results in loading directory content faster, especially for directories which contain a large amount of media files. CJS 5.8, the Cinnamon JavaScript interpreter, will be rebased on GJS 1.74 and make use of SpiderMonkey (libmozjs) 102. The current version of cjs uses SpiderMonkey 78. XDG Desktop Portal implementations are being written for Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce. This will provide better compatibility between desktop environments and non-native applications such as Flatpaks or libAdwaita apps (though these are usually written only for GNOME anyway)." These and other changes are discussed in the distribution's monthly newsletter. |
