4MLinux 48.0 STABLE released.
The status of the 4MLinux 48.0 series has been changed to STABLE. Edit your documents with LibreOffice 25.2 and GNOME Office (AbiWord 3.0.5, GIMP 2.10.38, Gnumeric 1.12.59), surf the Internet with Firefox 137.0 and Chrome 135.0, send emails via Thunderbird 128.9, enjoy your music collection with Audacious 4.4.2, watch your favorite videos with VLC 3.0.21 and SMPlayer 24.5.0, play games powered by Mesa 24.3.3 and Wine 10.4. You can also setup a very lightweight HTTP/FTP server (based on BusyBox 1.36.1). Perl 5.40.0, Python 2.7.18, Python 3.13.1, and Ruby 3.4.1 are also available.
As always, the new major release has some new features. Kino (IEEE 1394 DV non-linear video editor) is now included out of the box (huge work has been done to make this old application work within a modern operating system). VVenC (H.266/VVC encoder) has been added to the 4MLinux codec pack. FreeTube (desktop application acting as a YouTube client) and Bristol (synthesisers, electric pianos and organs emulator) are now available as downloadable extensions. And finally, the LTS Linux kernel in 4MLinux has been updated to its version 6.12.
