Next AVL 2016.8.30 ISO Release Changelog:

- Fixed UID/GID issue and restored Live and installed UID/GID to '1000'
- Updated to 4.4.6-RT Kernel with fixed 32bit app support and VBox module building support.
- Enabled running shell scripts by clicking in Thunar to ease installing Ardour and Mixbus bundles
- Fixed WinFF presets for aac encoding
- Added some module configs for AMD Video cards and modesetting.
- Complete new 'Zukitre' based theme necessitated by GTK3 3.20 changing it's API and breaking older GTK3 themes intentionally...WTF!?
- Complete new 'Hooli' theme for AVL 32bit (note 'resize' is in the Hooli window manager titlebar options)
- Complete Removal of Kdenlive and KDE5 runtime components... Kdenlive is simply not in a good place right now to feature on a LiveISO. As always you can install it later if you want it.
- Removed Openshot for same reason as Kdenlive... it has great potential but just isn't there yet...
- Complete removal of LibreOffice... it updates far too often and wastes huge amounts of time and bandwidth to keep current in my development builds.
- New Slim theme and custom wallpapers provided by Harrison Consoles. Thanks to Mike at Harrison!
- Added 'catfish' file search and integrated with Thunar
- Added 'xclip' and File path copying to Clipboard as a Thunar custom action (paste your path with the middle mouse button or click scroll)
- Added 'Transmission' to provide a Bittorrent client
- Updates to manual and new section on GPT/UEFI.
- Removed Audacious and VLC and replaced both with mpv (new fork of Mplayer2), very light and easy to use from Thunar
- Removed old sources.list entries and replaced KXStudio GCC-5 repos with the latest versions
- Cleaned up some old files that were not necessary or shouldn't be there at all... :blush:
- Updated to Ardour 5.3.0 and Mixbus 3.6.0

A new version?! Do I have to update now!?
Think of it this way... AV Linux is based on Debian Testing which is a 'rolling' Distribution. AV Linux is released as a customized snapshot which is kind of like an entry point to getting on the Rolling bus, if you got on the bus back in March with AV Linux 2016.3 and have been updating your applications you are basically mostly up to date with where AV Linux is now except for whatever items or customizations appear in the changelog for this new release, most of the changelog items are fairly minor so if you are happy with your system now you don't have to ditch what you have and install a whole new system if you don't want. On the other hand if you want to start fresh with a ready-to-work system or are interested in having everything in the changelog instantly incorporated quickly and easily you may decide to back up your data and start fresh from this new point in 2016.8.30. There is no right or wrong, it is essentially up to you. What I'm trying to do is continually improve the entry point for people who are getting started with AV Linux so they can get started for Audio work on the right foot. Anyone who has tweaked their existing system to their liking or is happy with their current setup should not feel pressured to update.

AV Linux is a freely shared 32 and 64bit downloadable and installable ISO Image created from a carefully pre-configured snapshot of the Debian GNU/Linux “Testing” Distribution. This ISO image is provided to facilitate and initiate the use of Linux as an Audio/Video/Graphics content creation platform. AV Linux is essentially a collected showcase of the phenomenal work of Open-Source developers from all over the planet and celebrates and presents their work organized in an easy-to-use fashion.
