OpenShot 3.5 released, is (yet again) the biggest, fastest etc release ever
A new version of free video editor OpenShot has been released, with the app’s developers calling it as one of the ‘biggest releases’ ever in its 18-year history. OpenShot 3.5 ships with a new default timeline (it had been available to test in earlier builds). This offers the same functions as before (zooming, scrolling, editing, etc), along with a new keyframe panel, but is said to be ‘faster’ than before. Indeed, the app in general, effect and frame processing especially, is said to be as much as 35% faster than before. Sure, it sounds impressive, but it is against a […]

Agama 19 released
Version 19 of the Agama installer for openSUSE and SUSE has been released. This release includes major changes in Agama's architectural design, organization of the web interface, and more. We always wanted Agama to follow the schema [...] in which the core of the installer could be controlled through a consistent and simple programming interface (an API, in developers jargon). In that schema, the web-based user interface, the command-line tools and the unattended installation are built on top of that generic API. But previous versions of Agama were full of quirks that didn't allow us to define an API that would match our quality standards as a solid foundation to build a simple but comprehensive installer. Agama 19 represents a quite significant architectural overhaul, needed to leave all those quirks behind and to define mechanisms that can be the cornerstone for any future development. LWN last looked at Agama in September 2025.
