Redcore Linux developer has released the new version of Redcore Linux 1908 and code name is Mira.
This release fixes most of the outstanding bugs and some more polishing. Also, added new features as well.
Bunch of packages (1000+) got updated because this release is based on Gentoo’s testing branch, unlike previous releases which were based on a mix of Gentoo’s stable and testing branches.
Starting from Redcore Linux 1908, the packages shold be up-to-date since it’s using Gentoo’s testing branch.
vasile (versatile advanced script for iso and latest enchantments) utility is deprecated and those features merged in sisyphus package manager.
CLI interface is now hybrid by default, it will install binaries if found, otherwise it will compile from sources.
GUI interface comes with process box, which tell you what is going on in real time.
Sisyphus package manager is now able to detect how many CPU cores are active on a system and improve the performance based on it.
Users are allowed to switch between Redcore Linux’s branches (master -> stable and next -> testing)
