4MLinux 46.0 STABLE released.

4MLinux 46.0 STABLE
 
The status of the 4MLinux 46.0 series has been changed to STABLE. Edit your documents with LibreOffice 24.8.0.3 and GNOME Office (AbiWord 3.0.5, GIMP 2.10.38, Gnumeric 1.12.57), surf the Internet with Firefox 124.0 and Chrome 128.0.6613.84, send emails via Thunderbird 115.12.2, enjoy your music collection with Audacious 4.4, watch your favorite videos with VLC 3.0.21 and SMPlayer 24.5.0, play games powered by Mesa 24.0.4 and Wine 9.12. You can also setup a very lightweight HTTP/FTP server (based on BusyBox 1.36.1). Perl 5.38.2, Python 2.7.18, Python 3.11.8, and Ruby 3.3.0 are also available.

As always, the new major release has some new features. The 4MLinux Server is now available out of the box (meaning that there is no separate 4MServer for download). Support for Windows Enhanced Metafiles (EMF images) as well as raw files from digital cameras (CRW/CR2, NEF, RAF, DNG images) has been added. Support for old audio formats (originating from Amiga, Commodore and the like) has been greatly improved. New applications: DVDAuthor (set of DVD authoring tools), qv4l2 (Qt-based application for testing V4L devices), VCDImager (set of VCD/SVCD authoring tools). Classic GNU Go game has been added to the 4MLinux GamePack package (downloadable extension). And finally, this is the first release that includes GTK version 4.
