14 DAY TRIAL // Clear Linux's Eva P. Hutanu informs the community of the Linux-based operating system designed for Intel Architecture and built for various cloud use cases about the latest updates that landed for the OS.
But first, the team is proud to announce that Clear Linux is now an auto-updating operating system, which means that users will automatically receive updates when they are pushed into the repositories. Of course, you can opt out of this feature if you don't want these updates to be automatically installed on your computer (see the command below).
"Clear Linux is now an auto-updating OS. Updates will be automatically applied if available. These auto-updates are periodically performed in the background but also at boot time. You can be assured that your container images will also get updates when they really need them," said Eva P. Hutanu in the mailing list announcement.
Clear Linux is now powered by Linux kernel 4.8.11, ships with Mesa 13.0.1
And now for the goodies, as Clear Linux received a bunch of them since our last report, including the recently released Linux 4.8.11 kernel, the Mesa 13.0.1 3D Graphics Library with the implementation of the OpenGL 4.4/4.5 API for a better gaming experience, and, of course, the new X.Org Server 1.19.0 display server.
Other updated packages include Ansible 2.2.0.0, Beignet 9, cURL 7.51.0, GStreamer 1.10.0, nginx 1.11.5, node. js 7.0.0, Open vSwitch 2.6.0, Swift 2.10.0, and WALinuxAgent 2.2.0. A few new components have been added as well this time, namely the NTFS-3G read/write NTFS driver, GDM display manager, a thermal daemon, tig, upm, and Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) driver.
