Apologies for posting late this month. LMDE 2 “Betsy” was released. I know many LMDE 1 users are eagerly waiting for us to announce an upgrade path to Betsy so I’ll keep these news short and go back to working on that 
MATE 1.10 is being labeled as we speak and should be released very shortly.
Cinnamon 2.6 will reach feature-freeze mid-May and become stable at the end of the month. It’s already full of improvements and new features but there are a couple of very important sub-projects we wanted to put in it: The ability for users to change whether Cinnamon works with consolekit or logind without recompiling, a queue for file operations in Nemo so they can be performed one after the other, actual screensavers in cinnamon-screensaver (we’ve got support for xscreensaver and webkit screensavers already, we need to work on the configuration UI)… etc.
Linux Mint 17.2 “Rafaela” is planned for the end of the June, with an RC release mid-June.
Many thanks to our sponsors and to all the people who donated to us. Special thanks also to the artists who answered our call for help last month.
