Cinnamon 2.2 updates in Romeo (beta-testers needed)
by clem
12 Aug 2014 | General
The following Cinnamon updates are coming up for Linux Mint 17 Qiana.

Because there are a lot of changes and to avoid any potential regression, these updates are now in Romeo.

If you are interested in BETA-TESTING them, please run Menu->Administration->Software Sources and tick the option “Unstable Packages (Romeo)”. Run the Update Manager then, click on Refresh, sort the list of updates by update types and select all Unstable/Romeo updates.

Also please make sure to update any level 1 packages, in particular those related to cinnamon-desktop and send us your feedback in the comment section below.

cinnamon 2.2.16

Fix Cinnamon background being reset or overwritten by GNOME background at startup.
Cinnamon Settings: Ignore backspace navigation in GtkSpinButtons and GtkTextViews.
Keyboard settings: Allow modified Escape key to be used in a keybinding.
Network applet: Sort wireless access points by showing active or remembered connections first, and all remaining connections in order of strength then.
HiDPI: Fix popup menu maximum height calculation.
A11y: Fix magnifier not getting initialized properly.
Spices management: Fixed “More info” and “Get more online” look and behaviour in certain locales.
Fix Background Module for python2-pillow 2.5.0-1.
Few additional bug fixes.
JS API: Added timers.js to allow spices developers to time things.
muffin 2.2.6

Fixed window tiling into top corner instead of the side when using super-left or super-right.
Fixed new window starting maximized because another window was previously tiled.
nemo 2.2.4

Search bar now comes down with an animation
Fixed crash when browsing network shares or unmounting archives/ISO
Show unmount progress notification when ejecting a drive
HiDPI: correctly render eject icon in sidebar
Open-with dialog: Bug fixes and a few improvements
Fixed apps not appearing on desktop after selecting “Add to desktop”
Clean up orphaned gtk bookmarks at startup
Nemo actions: Added support for space character in paths
cinnamon-session 2.2.2

Make shutdown and failwhale dialogs use CENTER instead of CENTER_ALWAYS, to stop the small jump the dialogs usually make right after they pop up.
Logout/Shutdown dialogs: Capture focus and keyboard input and block until dialog is closed.
session-properties (startup programs): show 0 in the list when there is no startup delay defined, as well as a 0 in the spinner during item edit.
Block ubuntu indicator-* services from starting.
cinnamon-control-center 2.2.10

Hide the zoom enable shortcut label (it doesn’t use a shortcut anymore) and hide some tabs in the zoom prefs that don’t do anything currently.
Fixed time being automatically updated/reset back while editing it.
Sound preferences: Fixed UI jumping slightly when playing Cinnamon sound effects.
Network preferences: Removed the proxy switch, it doesn’t actually do anything except confuse people. The proxy is used if settings are set.
cjs 2.2.2

Fix upstream bug, preventing start-on-demand dbus service from working.
Fix Gio overrides for Gio.DBusProxy (This will allow Cinnamon 2.2 to be compatible with 2.4 spices in regards to upcoming dbus changes).
Been running the updates for several hours with no issues..

Installed... up and running smooth so far.

I had freezing issues previously, and I hope this solves them.

What about windows placement? Like in KDE or compiz - centered or 'smart', where apps remember their position and size?
