Plamo Linux 8.0 has been released after a major version upgrade, marking approximately a 5-year gap since the previous release. This update focuses on compatibility, with the inclusion of glibc2 version 2.37 and Python version 3.11.3. However, due to the update in glibc2, binaries built with Plamo-8.x may no longer function on the glibc-2.33-based Plamo-7.x, so users are advised to take note of this compatibility change. Notable package updates include the Linux kernel 6.1.30, GCC 12.2.0, LLVM 15.0.7, Mesa3d 23.1.1, Xfce 4.18, LXqt 1.3, Firefox 114.0, ffmpeg 5.1.3, texlive 20230313, LibreOffice 7.5.3, and Wine version wine-8.8. The DVD image configuration has been modified, and the contrib packages are no longer included in the DVD images. A separate USB memory image (plamo-8.0_x86_64_usb.iso) containing the contrib packages is available, but it requires approximately 11GB of storage. Users with limited memory should be cautious when using older USB memory devices.
