We told you the other day that the Parsix GNU/Linux development team informed the community that new security updates were available for the current stable Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10 "Erik" and Parsix GNU/Linux 8.5 "Atticus" releases.

However, they also revealed on the project's official Twitter account that they are currently working on the next major version of the Debian-based operating system, Parsix GNU/Linux 8.15, which will be dubbed "Nev" and will be built on top of the recently released GNOME 3.22 desktop environment.

"We started working on Parsix GNU/Linux 8.15 codename 'Nev' which will be shipped with GNOME Desktop 3.22," said the Parsix GNU/Linux developers. Of course, Parsix GNU/Linux 8.15 "Nev" will be based entirely on the Debian GNU/Linux 8 "Jessie" series of operating systems, which is currently at version 8.6, as we reported last week.

Parsix GNU/Linux 8.15 coming later this year

At the moment of writing this story, there's no information regarding the release date of Parsix GNU/Linux 8.15 "Nev," but we have a feeling it might be out by the end of the year. As soon as the first TEST build is out for public testing, we will be able to tell you more about the upcoming operating system.

Until then, please make sure that you have all the latest security updates installed on your Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10 "Erik" distro, and if you are still using Parsix GNU/Linux 8.5 "Atticus," make sure that you prepare for an upgrade to Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10 "Erik" as it will reach end of its life on September 30, 2016.
