The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the new TDE R14.0.0 release. The Trinity Desktop Environment is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software.

Unlike previous releases TDE R14.0.0 has been in development for over two years. This extended development period has allowed us to create a better, more stable and more feature-rich product than previous TDE releases. R14 is brimming with new features, such as a new hardware manager based on udev (HAL is no longer required), full network-manager 0.9 support, a brand new compositor (compton), built-in threading support, and much more!

    Trinity 3.5.13 was a fork or continuation of KDE's 3.5 -- it took the KDE 3 code and expanded on it. According to the discussions, the reason that this release is "F14.0.0" rather than "3.5.14" is because it no longer uses KDE code, altered or otherwise. The dev(s) worked hard to recode everything from the ground up and design it so it would look/function mostly like KDE did, but were pretty careful to make it clear that it is a totally distinct project at this point.

    That explains the change from using HAL over to using udev, which is now just a subcomponent of systemd, unless the TDE team is using an older/different version of udev that doesn't require it.

    Bye bye Trinity, just another abortion.
