A new release of Xubuntu is just around the corner! The release candidate for Xubuntu 15.10 “Wily Werewolf” is now available, and the final release is expected less than a week from now, on October 22.

What’s New?

This list highlights several new features and applications but is not exhaustive.  This post will be updated with a link to the full release notes once they are available and complete.

UPDATE: Xubuntu 15.10 has been released!  The release announcement can be found here, with the full release notes here.

Summary of Changes

  • LibreOffice Writer and Calc are now included, replacing Abiword and Gnumeric. We have also included a new theme for LibreOffice based on elementary to better integrate with the Xubuntu environment.
  • A new application, Xfce Panel Switch is now included in Xubuntu. This application enables users to easily backup, restore, import, and export panel layouts. I cover the application in greater detail here.
  • A new window manager theme, Greybird Accessibility, is now available in the window manager settings.
  • Catfish, MenuLibre, and Mugshot have all been promoted to their latest development versions as they continue to improve for the next LTS, Xubuntu 16.04.
