From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

At least has some of them. I think they always grab the betas and aggregate the release notes/changes during the nightly/beta tests.
I still remember when Firefox decided to go with Chrome-like versioning to show progress. No more v4.5.1. but v87.1! Still bugs me a little bit, I liked the more relaxed attitude. Now versioning is changing again here and there, now it's the year, like 2025.1 and I think that is a little pragmatic but probably a pretty good idea. They should go for that!
Year-based version numbers are pretty neat IMO, particularly for applications. Not only can you quickly estimate how up-to-date any particular application is, it also avoids the version number racing problem between competing applications, because some people equate lower version numbers with a less developed application.
For programming libraries though semantic versioning is still the good ol' reliable.
Strange that it took us like decades to figure this out :)
I blame MS (Windows 2000, Office 2003, Server 2005, etc.)
This versioning is just moronic.
Higher version — more Firefox. I like more Firefox.
mull 😢
finally release notes have been uploaded!
probably only OP will see this though..
Nah I did too.
The 103 early hints is nice to finally see in the network tab, stopping a scroll by placing the fingers down on the track pad, is neat too!
Solid update AFAIC
A refreshed New Tab layout is being rolled out to users in the US and Canada, featuring a repositioned logo and weather widget to prioritize Web Search, Shortcuts, and Recommended Stories at the top.
before anyone starts complaining, yes I know several people in close proximity that use the news&weather windows taskbar thing, so this probably has a reason to exist
Most non-tech users will love it TBH
