This new version comes after a long while due to some buggy packages in the Debian 'Testing' repository that we were forced to fix on our own (it's about the latest GTK+ updates that broke the MATE interface).

We are also happy to welcome the University of Crete as a new mirror provider. " Here is the brief release announcement .
