The first stable release of Kodachi 10. It contains everything in the Kodachi 10 beta record below, plus the changes listed here, which were made during the beta testing that followed that record. The stable downloads and the stable APT channel now carry Kodachi 10.0.3, and the Desktop, Terminal and Binary Pack editions all report the same version. Dispatch excerpt: switching the microphone off now stays off - the sound system could switch the capture back on about a second after a disable that had reported success, and the microphone guard now holds every sound card's capture switch off until you enable the microphone again; a VPN connection that stopped unexpectedly (a crash, a reboot or an upgrade while connected) no longer blocks every later connection with 'route restoration remains unverified'; the online status and public IP check answers in about 2 to 5 seconds instead of up to 25, so the desktop panel no longer shows the online status as empty.
The glibc library has been enhanced with support for interchangeable malloc implementations. Choosing the appropriate implementation can provide performance improvements of up to 20%. The current release contains only the necessary infrastructure; future releases will include configurations that select optimal malloc implementations for selected key applications. We have updated our default compiler to LLVM/Clang 23, with the current version providing, among other things, improved code generation. We have also fixed a bug causing a clash between compiler-rt and libgcc_s, which could result in unexpected crashes in some applications. GCC has been updated to 16.2.0. At the same time, we fixed an issue that caused some AppImage applications to crash when launched. Our default package manager has been updated to RPM 6.1.0.
Our goal was to preserve the spirit of this approach: making accessibility features immediately available without requiring users to memorize numerous keyboard shortcuts. Easy Menu: one key for simple access to accessibility features: The Easy Menu provides quick access to Emmabuntüs' main accessibility features through a dedicated key: Right Control or F12. A simple press of this key opens a menu containing the main available functions. Users can therefore access the tools they need more easily, without having to remember a multitude of key combinations. This approach is particularly useful for people using the Orca screen reader, but it can also make computers easier to use for anyone who needs simplified access to assistive features. From the main menu, Easy Menu also provides direct access to certain frequently used functions through dedicated keys.
