Here is the changelog of Envy’s new release:
* Changed: backported xparse and xorgconfig from Envy's unstable branch so as to
switch to the guidance backend
* Changed: backported improvements to Shutilities from Envy's unstable branch
* Changed: the latest release of the ATI driver is automatically installer for
ATI FireGL cards
* Added: objects.restorexorg()
* Fixed: Bug #179746 xorg.conf couldn't be modified because of a bug in xparse
* Fixed: nvidia-settings is no longer installed for the legacy driver because of
Ubuntu's Bug #156730
As you can see, this new release should solve a few problems and includes some backported parts of Envy’s next major release (0.9.10). Unfortunately the package “nvidia-settings” can no longer be installed because of Ubuntu’s Bug #156730. This problem affects only nvidia-glx-legacy (driver 7xxx) while the other two flavours of the driver are not affected since they already include “nvidia-settings” and therefore don’t need “nvidia-settings” to be installed. If you use the legacy driver, please use Ubuntu’s “Screens and Graphics” application (in the “System/Administration” menu) if you need to set up your screen resolution (or multiple screens).
As some of you might have noticed I have recently changed Envy’s web page since some users complained about its length and about its confusing structure. I’m not a web designer therefore don’t expect to see a masterpiece. If you have further suggestions regarding its usability, please let me know. I have also updated the FAQ for both Ubuntu and Debian.
NOTE: if Opera is your browser you will have to select the “Fixed Table Layout” option in the “View/Style” menu, otherwise the table on my web page will be as large as the entire page. I don’t know why this is happening since I can’t reproduce the problem using Firefox, Epiphany, Konqueror, Internet Explorer 6 (yes, even IE 6!!!)
