Wait's Over: elementary OS 7.1 Releases With a Focus on Privacy
|
||||
======
|
||||
A meticulous update to elementary OS.
|
||||
Just a few months to go in 2023, and we have a new update of elementary OS. Earlier this year, we took a look at the [elementary OS 7][1] release, which brought about plenty of improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
And now, we have **elementary OS 7.1** release to check out. Let's see what it has to offer.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🆕 elementary OS 7.1: What's New?
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
Being one of the [most beautiful Linux distros][3] around, this release of elementary OS **focuses on the privacy and accessibility side of things**.
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the most notable highlights of this release include:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Privacy Tweaks**
|
||||
* **Better Accessibility**
|
||||
* **AppCenter Improvements**
|
||||
* **Improved Gesture and Keyboard Navigation**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Privacy Tweaks
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
A new system has been added to the distro that **handles the auto-start of applications** , and even **alerts you when apps are running in the background**.
|
||||
|
||||
The autostart behavior of many core apps such as Calendar, Mail, and Tasks can now be controlled thanks to this new ' **Background & Autostart'** portal.
|
||||
|
||||
The same portal also handles the permissions for applications, with the ' **Location Services** ' being improved with **a more secure method** for allowing apps to request location access.
|
||||
|
||||
It follows the latest [FreeDesktop.org][5] standard for achieving that.
|
||||
|
||||
### Better Accessibility
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
After receiving **feedback from various users with vision-related disabilities** , the elementary OS team has implemented some useful accessibility features.
|
||||
|
||||
One feature is that **an audio prompt** is automatically played during the first install t **o let users** **know the keyboard shortcut for the screen reader**. This audio prompt is also available during the initial setup after the installation.
|
||||
|
||||
And the second is the implementation of **five distinct display filters** for **helping[color vision deficient][7] folks** chart their way through the distro.
|
||||
|
||||
The filters are tailored for people with the **Protanopia** , **Deuteranopia** , and **Tritanopia** issues. They have also added some **additional high contrast options** , with plenty of **assistive text**.
|
||||
|
||||
### AppCenter Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
![][8]
|
||||
|
||||
The **AppCenter has also been improved** , with it now showing what permissions are required by any listed or sideloaded Flatpak apps to run properly.
|
||||
|
||||
It can now show app permissions such as location, sending notifications, autostart, read/write system settings and more.
|
||||
|
||||
These should make it easier for a user to understand the app they are installing, and to know what kind of access it requires.
|
||||
|
||||
### Improved Gesture and Keyboard Navigation
|
||||
|
||||
![][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, **multitouch gestures and keyboard navigation have received a boost** thanks to a more widespread implementation across the system.
|
||||
|
||||
Users can now **use gestures to control workspaces** , **navigate using the various newly added keyboard shortcuts**. The settings for keyboard behavior have also been redone, with loads of options to tweak the experience.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
Like every elementary OS release, there are many subtle refinements that go a long way. Some other highlights include:
|
||||
|
||||
* A new app menu in the header bar for 'Files' that features new zoom controls and a 'bulk rename' feature for renaming many files in one go.
|
||||
* Implementation of the latest long-term support [Hardware Enablement stack][10] from Ubuntu.
|
||||
* The feedback app has been improved, it now features a search bar, and has been ported to GTK 4.
|
||||
* Complete revamp of the 'Mail' app, resulting in a more stable experience.
|
||||
* Inclusion of [GNOME Web 44.6][11].
|
||||
* Various updates to the core apps.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I suggest you go through the official [release notes][12] to dive deeper into this release.
