First off, we’d like to remind the reader that the team unleashed last week the second preview release of the upcoming Parsix GNU/Linux 8.15 “Nev” operating system, and you are invited to take it for a test drive and report bugs if you encounter any. As usual, both Parsix GNU/Linux 8.15 “Nev” and 8.10 “Erik” get the same security updates. The last Parsix GNU/Linux sync was on November 27, 2016, and, since then, it looks like users received new versions of the GStreamer Plugins Good 1.0 and 0.10 multimedia codecs, ImageMagick collection of tools for manipulation images, Xen hypervisor, Icedove email and news client, ICU (International Components for Unicode), and HDF5 library.
