Linux Mint 21.2

In preparation for Linux Mint 21.2, the adjustments under had been carried out.

Nemo 5.8 will characteristic multi-threaded thumbnails. As an alternative of producing every thumbnail one after the other, Nemo will generate a number of thumbnails in parallel. This makes use of extra CPU however it ends in loading listing content material sooner, particularly for directories which include a considerable amount of media recordsdata.

CJS 5.8, the Cinnamon Javascript interpreter, might be rebased on GJS 1.74 and make use of SpiderMonkey (libmozjs) 102. The present model of cjs makes use of SpiderMonkey 78.

XDG Desktop Portal implementations are being written for Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce. It will present higher compatibility between desktop environments and non-native functions reminiscent of flatpaks or libAdwaita apps (although these are normally written just for GNOME anyway). Amongst different issues it will make it doable for these apps to take screenshots or to assist dark-mode.

Warpinator

Warpinator is designed to let individuals see one another and share recordsdata on the native community as simply as doable and with out setup. Though entry to the native community itself needs to be monitored/restricted within the first place, when you’re linked to it, you possibly can see and work together with different Warpinator cases.

The SUSE safety crew lately carried out a evaluation of the codebase and highlighted some considerations. Discussions adopted and choices had been taken to harden the safety in Warpinator.

Safety bugs (CVE-2022-42725) had been fastened to forestall recordsdata probably being written exterior of the obtain listing within the case of a malicious distant copy of Warpinator.

Setting a gaggle code turned a requirement for the applying to stay open indefinitely or to be began routinely after login. Solely computer systems which share the identical group code see one another and their communication is encrypted. This was achieved to forestall a malicious copy of Warpinator from pretending to be another person on the community and provoke transfers, particularly in instances the place the goal’s occasion is about to routinely settle for incoming requests.

Individuals who need to casually share recordsdata from time to time would talk first, agree on timing and what’s being shared. They’d launch their cases across the identical time and count on what they agreed on. On this state of affairs the dearth of setup requirement is essential and there’s no vital want for a gaggle code.

In preparation for future potential bugs or safety points, adjustments are at the moment being carried out to fully isolate Warpinator from the filesystem and make it technically unable to write down wherever apart from within the incoming folder.

Warpinator is utilized in many alternative methods and in several environments. Whether or not it’s in an workplace with a safe community and a mess of computer systems which belief every others and are continuously open to transfers… or on a public Wifi between two associates’ laptops, and even as we lately talked about simply you sending recordsdata to your self from/to a smartphone, a steam deck or one other field. We would like Warpinator to work for everybody, to be as safe as doable in environments the place it’s setup to be safe (with a gaggle code, autostart, auto-accepting requests and so on..), and to require no configuration in use instances the place customers themselves talk first and don’t depend on the community to belief every others.

Server upgrades

We’ve been upgrading a few of the servers. This induced a bit of little bit of downtime up to now few days on the weblog and on the boards specifically. We’d prefer to apologize for the inconvenience.
