This release brings Cinnamon desktop environment to both stable and current. Xfce 4.12 is not available in the ISOs, having only the xzm modules available for download -- they will be removed in the next release because Xfce 4.18 is now mature and fast enough.

1. Fixed an issue in LXDE where volume control was not working (thanks to nanZor for reporting)
2. Fixed an issue in getpkg where some keywords were not working
3. Fixed an issue where missing rootcopy folder was causing a warning
4. Fixed an issue where Xfce 4.18 taskbar was showing a non-standard Adwaita-dark color
5. Fixed LXDM background to fit the screen
6. Added Cinnamon desktop environment to both stable and current (thanks to Arleson for improving the default style)

9. Added GNOME Online Accounts in GNOME (current)
10. Added support to variable refresh rate and fractional scaling in GNOME (current)
11. Reverted TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE from MADVICE to ALWAYS since kernel 6.8.x has fixed the high memory usage (thanks to roadie)
12. Removed systemmonitor from KDE to avoid redundancy
13. Removed boost from 002-gui
14. Removed graph-easy from 05-devel
15. Removed default keyboard layouts in KDE and MATE to avoid breaking kmap cheatcode

18. Improved stripping in all modules
19. Improved build scripts massively
20. Updated kernel to 6.8.4
