A new version of the popular MATE desktop environment for Linux is out. This release is all about GTK+ 3 improvements and fixes. Let's see what's new in MATE 1.16.
The MATE 1.16 release is focused on improving GTK3+ compatibility, moving components to newer libraries, bugfixes and code improvements. Here are the key changes in this release:
