Highlights

The release actually hasn't the highlight, let's call it a maintenance release. It seems like this is the first release where more files have been removed than added (-1338 vs +269). Anyway, there is one notable change:

  • Debian package in our PPA was split to papirus-icon-theme and epapirus-icon-theme packages #3563

For PPA users

In most cases, you will not see the difference. If recommended packages are not denied on your system, epapirus-icon-theme package will be installed as before, but now you can remove ePapirus and ePapirus-Dark icon theme using sudo apt remove epapirus-icon-theme, in case you're not an elementaryOS user.

For package maintainers

The default behavior didn't change. The Makefile still installs all the available icon themes. But we recommend two options to deal with ePapirus and ePapirus-Dark themes:

  1. If your distro supports Pantheon Desktop please split the package to papirus-icon-theme (Papirus, Papirus-Dark, Papirus-Light), and epapirus-icon-theme (ePapirus, ePapirus-Dark). epapirus-icon-theme should have papirus-icon-theme as dependency. See example for deb package.
  2. If your distro does NOT support Pantheon Desktop, please exclude ePapirus and ePapirus-Dark from papirus-icon-theme package using EXCLUDE notation: make EXCLUDE="ePapirus ePapirus-Dark" install.

This saves up to 17309 inodes and up to 72MB of disk space for your users.

Also, if you've previously used the IGNORE= notation in your build script, this release introduces a couple of breaking changes (1e76dba and 5183e15). So, if you've been using a command like make IGNORE="./ePapirus ./ePapirus-Dark" install in your build script, please update it to use the new command: make EXCLUDE="ePapirus ePapirus-Dark" install.
