Common Desktop Environment comes back after 2 years with v2.5.3!

Two years after the last point release of Common Desktop Environment, a new point release has been released this year, bearing version 2.5.3. Unfortunately, it’s nothing major; just a subset of bug fixes that are mostly development-related, such as compiler warning fixes to reduce the clutter during the build process.

For those who like the old-school desktop UI that is similar to old HP-UX (Visual User Environment) and Solaris Unix systems, this one is for you. CDE 2.5.3 brings some of the big changes, such as support for more mouse buttons in dtwm.

Improvements were also made to the built-in terminal emulator, including fixes for copy and paste system. You can see the full commit logs here.

For the sake of reminding you of Visual User Environment, here’s the picture:
