@organicmaps I noticed in the iOS release notes you were asking if anyone reads them — I always read release notes before updating. Please don't join the “bug fixes and improvements” club 😀 FreePBX 17, now based on Debian 12 instead of CentOS, enhances deployment flexibility across various cloud providers and improves security with immediate access to patches. It supports PHP 8.2, Asterisk 21, and the latest Node.js version. Linux Tails 6.6 update enhances privacy and performance with Tor Browser 13.5.2 and Thunderbird 115.14.0, improves hardware support, and fixes issues in partition resizing, persistent storage, networking, and Tails cloner. ClamAV's version 1.4 discontinues Linux 32-bit packages, introduces ARM64 support for Windows, and adds new features like ALZ and LHA/LZH archive handling. Other improvements include better Freshclam warnings and optimized file hash calculations. Godot 4.3, the latest version of the open-source game engine, introduces new audio sources, 2D physics interpolation, a revamped visual shader editor, and improvements in web exports, multi-threading, animation, rendering, and more. 📅 259 days We present to you: Godot 4.3 ✨ We hope you enjoy the new release page format as much as we did preparing it!

Really inspiring Microsoft paused its plan to roll out full-screen Windows 11 upgrade alerts to more Windows 10 users starting April 2024 after backlash.

@organicmaps I never heard of Organic Maps until Google removed and restored it in Play. Downloaded it and tried it out. Way faster and cleaner than maps. Looks like Google in a small way may have fucked around and found out. This even has restaurants that don't show up on Google Maps..... Nice......
