Finally Mageia 4 RC release is out! After many nights working on remaining nasty bugs, the isos are now available in your favourite public mirrors.

Thumbs up QA team for the patience and determination for a really long journey until this RC release.  This was nearly the last run for the final release.

This Release Candidate (RC) includes lots of  bug fixes on packages, hardware support, installers (both classical and live one).

Please take some time to test it as it’s the very last chance to fix release critical bugs. You can find some more information here:

We are waiting for your feedback and hope you will enjoy.

The Mageia team will attend FOSDEM 2014, on 1st and 2nd of February 2014 in Brussels. We will have a booth in K building, first floor.

It’s a great opportunity to meet you, speak about our favorite distribution, the coming Mageia 4 (we hope to be able to release it during FOSDEM) and all the burning topics you would like. Mageia goodies will also be available.

As previous years, we will also organize the 4th general assembly of the Mageia.Org association, on the 1st of February, during the afternoon. We will communicate on the exact room and time in the morning.

FOSDEM is also a good opportunity for some quality time with other Mageians during Mageia dinner, on Saturday night.

For more information on all this, please see the Mageia wiki page and register!

Our friends, bugs are among us

Posted on January 7, 2014 by Anne Nicolas

A very happy new year for all the Mageia community and once again many thanks for  the amazing job done, for more than 3 years now.

Mageia RC was planned to be released yesterday but we still have some nasty bugs around. Packagers and QA team are working hard to solve them especially regarding GNOME environment, Nvidia/Intel graphical chipset support and installer.

We hope to be able to release as soon as possible so stay tuned!

Finally Mageia 4 beta 2 release is available for testing. Lots of effort was put into fixing the remaining blocking bugs. This is not yet finished but we are proud of the current results. Lots of work was done on drakxtools and classical installer to switch from that good old Gtk2 to Gtk3.

The documentation and i18n teams have also improved a lot of online documents and translations to make it available in as many languages as possible.

Your feedback is more essential than ever to finalize this fourth release of Mageia!

More information about beta 2:

Enjoy it and may you all have a very happy Christmas!
