Add Petra rel notes
Add Petra new features page
rel_notes explain about apt recommends
rel_notes explain systemd regression on pam / XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
System
apturl/firefox: apturl missing support in Firefox
Shutdown sequence in live-session is all black
cinnamon: inserting an Audio CD suggests Brasero and VLC, not Banshee
libdvdcss2: DVD Playback doesn't work with new gstreamer: The stream is in the wrong format (using Totem).. works with VLC
mint4win: can't find CD (using autorun)
mint4win: shows version 14 instead of 16
banshee: tries to rip a CD to FLAC by default
mintdesktop/mintsystem: port mintfortune to filesystem flag and away from gsettings
plymouth : Installing Nvidia drivers makes tty and boot screen lo-res (http://www.conanblog.me/it/how-to-get-the-high-resolution-for-tty-back-after-nvidia-driver-update-in-ubuntu/)
brasero: Brasero Wont open after burning a disk
Mint Tools
mintstick: progress bar isn't fixed yet
Cinnamon
nemo: Use sudo/gksu/gksudo to "open as root" instead of pkexec? to work around the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR bug?
User applet: name/pic are centered, should be left-aligned (shows with small gecos)
Clock says 15:38. Go to time settings. Turn off network time. Turn it back on. Wait for 10 seconds or so.. time updates to correct time and says 16:38. (either Cinnamon loses track of ntp when disconnected/reconnected to network, or it fails to use it at login time)
Calendar applet should link to "cinnamon-settings calendar"
Changing default applications does nothing
When a maximized window is minimized, and you activate the hot corner or expo, it makes a split second glitch view of that window
The mint logo is a bitmap(png) and is blurry when the panel is resized, it should be svg
Mounted disks shouldest show by default one the desktop?
Cannot Middle click most toolbar items in Nemo
Copying large files (< 200mb), nemo reports 99% the whole time.
Changing Wallpaper sometimes freezes cinnamon
Moving applets in cinnamon panel edit mode on, glitches out systray icons when it is shifted
mint-themes-gtk3: nemo sidebar buttons are too large
MATE
mate: Use generic names in MATE packages
mintmenu: category didn't appear (M64), did when clicked "Reload plugins"
mintmenu: show duplicates when item is in multiple categories (LibreOffice, gnome-disks)
mintmenu: pull requests
KDE
rel_notes: Add samba-mounter to new features page for KDE
ubiquity: clicking on "Release notes" link opens an error dialog saying "can't launch Firefox"
ubiquity: shows "update installer"
Xfce
VLC missing
De-scoped
System: crashes/freezes due to /run/user/<uid>/dconf/user being owned by root (upstream bug in systemd, affects all distributions. The decision was taken not to hack XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and not to hack /etc/pam.d.. i.e. bringing back xdg_support.so in replacement to systemd.so as it could create further regressions with systemd)
Cinnamon: Launching keepass + xsel freezes Cinnamon [wrouesnel] (unknown cause/solution, could be related to XDG_RUNTIME_DIR bug)
GTK3: dialogs use symbolic icons (offending code is in GTK3, won't fix. Small issue but linked to GTK3 becoming a GNOME Shell specific toolkit.)
GTK3: No padding in context menu leads to accidental operations (bug reported upstream in GTK3, temp workaround/fix unlikely/tedious)
GNOME: gnome-calculator menubar (minor cosmestic issue, won't fix)
System: gksu covers cinnamon panel and clutter layer (offending code is in libgksu, won't fix, likely to migrate to pkexec instead)
System: Support for Wacom tablet (configurable via the command line, will need to join forces with Xfce/MATE if we want to develop a cross DE UI. This doesn't justify pulling resources to make a Cinnamon specific solution)
System: EFI booth path isn't standard (EFI installation in Virtualbox works fine, but upon reboot it loses its NVRAM and isn't able to find the EFI boot files)
MDM: l10n doesn't cover new features (MDM 1.4 is still using the l10n it inherited from GDM. Decision was taken to migrate MDM entirely to Mint/LP translations in 1.6, not just mdmwebkit/mdmsetup).
MP3 online doesn't work (known limitation with totem)
