News briefs for October 31, 2018.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Fedora Project Manager announced the official release of Fedora 29<\/a> yesterday. This release is the first to include the Fedora Modularity feature across
\nall variants. Other changes include “GNOME 3.30 on the desktop, ZRAM for our ARM images, and a Vagrant image
\nfor Fedora Scientific”. You can download it from here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 launched yesterday with improved security. eWeek reports<\/a> that the new release features “TPM 2.0 support for security authentication, as well as integrating the open source
\nnftables firewall technology effort”. eWeek quotes principal project manager Steve Almy: “The TPM 2.0 integration in 7.6 provides an additional
\nlevel of security by tying the hands-off decryption to server hardware in addition to the network bound disk
\nencryption (NBDE) capability, which operates across the hybrid cloud footprint from on-premise servers to
\npublic cloud deployments.” Version 7.6 is the second major milestone release of 2018.<\/p>\n

Linux Lite 4.2 Final is now available<\/a>. Linux Lite creator Jerry Bezencon says the release is “a ‘refinement’ and not a ‘major upgrade’.
\nThere are some new wallpapers thanks to @whateverthing and some minor tweaks here and there.” One change with
\nthis version is the addition of
\nRedshift, which “adjusts the color temperature according to the position of the sun”.<\/p>\n

Google and a group of cetologists have been using AI to listen to years of undersea recordings with the hope of
\ncreating “a machine learning model that can spot humpback whale calls”. According to TechCrunch<\/a>, the project is part of Google’s AI for Social Good<\/a>
\ninitiative.<\/p>\n

Resin.io, a container-based server platform for Linux device management, has “changed its name to balena and released an
\nopen source version of its IoT fleet management platform for Linux devices called openBalena”, Linux
\nGizmos reports<\/a>. Founder and CEO of the company says the name change is due to “to trademark issues, to
\ncannabis references, and to people mishearing it as ‘raisin'”. balenaOS is “an open
\nsource spinoff of the container-based device software that works with balenaCloud”, and the new openBalena “is an
\nopen version of the balenaCloud server software. Customers can now choose between letting balena manage their
\nfleet of devices or building their own openBalena based server platform that manages fleets of devices running
\nbalenaOS”.<\/p>\n
