… if you thought 4.6.0 was good

“I’m really happy with how the number of bug reports coming in
is not a massive deluge of different bugs, but mostly just endless
repetition of the same handful. For some of them (like the
notifications collapse triggered crash on exit) we’re getting
several duplicates per day, so we know it’s not just because people
aren’t using or reporting!

“Even better than having bugs reported is having bugs fixed, of
course. Which is exactly what’s been happening in droves. From
multi-screen fixes to panel hiding fixes to, yes, fixing that
on-exit crash, we’re smacking the bugs down as fast as we can so
that next month’s 4.6.1 release will be beautifully solid.

“I’m hoping that the upcoming springtime releases of the various
distributions will be able to benefit from this bug fixing spree as
well so that users installing the defaults will have a great
experience too.”
