Its my pleasure to announce the release of the latest Budgie Desktop for both Debian and Ubuntu users. The release is for:

4. Ubuntu Budgie 17.10

At the same time, I have refreshed all builds made available by the fantastic indie budgie developers

• budgie brightness control applet
• budgie calendar applet
• budgie haste applet
• budgie indicator applet
• budgie system monitor applet
• budgie pixel saver applet (17.04/17.10)
• budgie weather applet (17.04/17.10)
• budgie global menu (17.04/17.10)

Budgie Welcome has been updated with all the latest translations; all the above applets can be installed from Budgie Welcome. … and you want more?! EvopPop and EvoPop Azure themes are also now available to be installed – just open up Budgie Welcome – default settings Upstream, the Budgie Desktop organisation  has published a really great guide of all whats new – so check it out now! Notes: Budgie Pixel Saver applet no longer works on Ubuntu 16.04. If you want to have a look and fix it up then get in touch. Budgie Desktop v10.4 introduces theming changes – specifically themes for the new popovers you see when clicking on applets. All 3rd party budgie themes will need updates to make the popovers work correctly. So again – please contact us and help out fixing these themes – especially for those Ubuntu 16.04 themes. All of you need to dig in please – upstream themers have moved on to newer GTK versions, so you all need to help and fix for your fellow 16.04 users.
