Software 44529 Published 2026-07-04 09:57 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Mutt 2.4.1 is the latest stable release for the 30-year-old terminal-based email client, and it's focused on stability fixes rather than new features. Upstream maintainer Kevin J. McCarthy addressed OpenSSL 4 compilation failures, restored Alt keybindings in the foot terminal, patched an empty command line argument crash, and closed a theoretical IMAP buffer overflow. This patch release follows the 2.4.0 feature drop, which introduced explicit thread controls, a configurable draft directory, and RFC-compliant S/MIME type updates.

Reviews 52681 Published 2026-07-04 07:36 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Fresh evaluations cover the Edifier R2750DB MKII powered speakers and the Snapdragon-equipped HP OmniBook Ultra 14 laptop, both prioritizing wireless connectivity and premium construction. Intel quietly raised recommended pricing on three Arrow Lake Refresh processors by up to 17 percent, a shift caused by datacenter silicon demand and production constraints. Peripheral reviews feature the KTC H49S66 49-inch 5K2K gaming display, the 54-gram Pwnage Ultra Custom Pro Symm 3 mouse, and the Epomaker Glyph keyboard with retro styling and dual screens. Tom's Hardware also examines the Turtle Beach KP7, a versatile desktop controller that still requires manual firmware tweaks every time the system boots.

Snap Store Maintenance July 5-6: No Installs or Updates Allowed

Ubuntu 7140 Published 2026-07-04 07:25 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Canonical's Snap Store will undergo scheduled database maintenance from 22:00 UTC on Saturday, July 5, to 02:00 UTC on Sunday, July 6, 2026. During this four-hour window, users cannot install new snaps or update existing ones as api.snapcraft.io will reject all requests.

GNOME 3723 Published 2026-07-04 07:14 by Philipp Esselbach 0

GNOME 51.alpha, codenamed "A Coruña," has launched as the first unstable build in the development cycle leading to a stable desktop release on September 16, 2026. Building on the fully Wayland-only architecture of GNOME 50 Tokyo, this alpha focuses on refining fractional scaling, improving NVIDIA driver compatibility, and transitioning build dependencies from Autotools to Meson. The update ships 73 refreshed core modules, including performance and accessibility improvements in nautilus, a GListModel overhaul in gnome-calendar, and security hardening across evolution-data-server and glib-networking. While the stable version will roll out to distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu later in the year, developers can currently test the build via the official GNOME OS install image or unstable Flatpak runtimes.

Perl and cifs-utils updates for Ubuntu

Ubuntu 7140 Published 2026-07-04 06:40 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ubuntu released USN-8467-2 to patch two security flaws in Perl 5.40 for Ubuntu 25.10, addressing an Archive::Tar symlink handling bug and a 32-bit regex compilation memory overflow. USN-8496-2 rolls back a previous cifs-utils security patch across Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, 25.10, and 26.04 LTS after the original fix broke Kerberos-based network mounts. The initial update corrected a privilege escalation flaw that allowed local attackers to run code as root by mishandling user lookups before dropping administrative access.
