Nobara 42 2025-05-13 released

Nobara 49 Published 2025-05-14 07:44 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The official launch of Nobara Linux 42 features Brave as the default browser. The modification follows comprehensive testing, during which multiple browsers, including Firefox and those based on it, exhibited GPU crashes when scrolling through live videos with VRR enabled. Brave emerged as the sole browser that maintained stability amidst these challenges and did not necessitate any external or system packages for enabling codecs for video playback. The Nobara Package Manager has been removed from the desktop and favorites; however, experienced users can still locate it in the menu. Plasma-discover and gnome-software have been substituted with flatpost, a comprehensive solution for flatpaks. Nobara has officially transitioned to a rolling release model, allowing users to receive all updates for Nobara 42 packages through the system updater. Mesa has received updates that include further enhancements for Wine Wayland and DOOM: The Dark Ages.

Godot 4.5 Dev 4 released

Software 43250 Published 2025-05-14 07:28 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The fourth test version of Godot 4.5 is now available, bringing new features like support for embedded windows on macOS, moving 3D physics interpolation to SceneTree, the option to export variables as Variant, stackable outlines on Label, specular occlusion from ambient light, and improvements to the renderer.

Users of macOS have shown a keen interest in integrating their windows within the editor; however, this functionality is specific to the operating system and involves low-level implementation. Stuart Carnie implemented this feature in GH-105884, which operates differently from the implementations on Windows and Linux. The updated architecture for 3D physics interpolation effectively resolves the issue by transferring all logic to SceneTree while preserving the current API.
