There's a beta out now I could use like we did last time, seemed to go over well. + +##Pitches + +I also have a few linux-related software pitches + +GIMP 2.9, which is a preview of the next stable release, just came out a couple weeks ago. It's got a ton of new stuff including a new theme, so it doesn't look like it crawled out of windows 95 anymore. There's also a bunch of new color calibration tools that put GIMP well ahead of Photoshop on quite a few fronts. I was thinking I could do 1000 words on what's coming in + +The Kdenlive video editor had the first major release it's ever had since I've been using it (it's been at least five years since it saw a significant update). It's got some great new stuff like 3 point editing, drag and drop autosizing, and background pre-rendering. It's probably the best linux video editor at the moment. + +I've never done a review of Arch Linux, and since that's the main distro I use these days I was thinking it would be interesting to compare it to more mainstream releases. I think a high level look at the advantages of a rolling release distro would be an interesting piece. I was thinking 1200 words but let me know what you think. + +I also found a new "developer" web browser based on Chrome/Chromium that has some nice features like phone emulation, synchronized simultaneous mobile and desktop views, auto refresh and a ton of nice testing features. It's a bit like Firefox developer edition, but based on Chrome so it's fast. I thought it would be worth a quick look, say 800 words. + + +-s + + + |
