Linux Lite 3.8 Beta Released

[UltraCookie]

3.8 is already listed as released on distrowatch.com with a sourceforge download link  is that legit?

edit: just noticed it's Jerrys sourceforge so I guess it's real

@UltraCookie  I just checked and it's listed as in development release https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=10070

In that link you can read the following:

"Linux Lite 3.8 beta is now available for testing. There have been a number of changes since the 3.6 release. This is the last release for the 3.x series Linux Lite 3.8 final will be released on February 1st, 2018.

So whatever you saw it was either a mistake or something probably not legit.
Cheers!

Maybe distrowatch being a wee bit premature

Oh..I didn't see that, just typed Linux Lite on search bar. However, I followed that link and took me here https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.php no sourceforge download link but for LL 3.6 only. But yes, I also saw that they marked LL 3.8 release day 30-01-2018, so your statement might be accurate

Maybe distrowatch being a wee bit premature

If you click on "3.8" it brings you directly to the sourceforge download page for 3.8.

What to do after the release?
Just hit Update?

Yes, you're right. I just tried and LL 3.8 started downloading. However, I believe is the beta release since unlike 3.6 link it doesn't say it's the latest release so they actually haven't "officially" said final-stable release is out. We know official release it's on February 1st

PS: Did I just write the word release 4 times? lol

@CSNLinux after release run updates, lite-upgrade should get an update. If so run lite-upgrade.

that's how I will do it.

That's completely up to you; you could download the new iso file and make a fresh new install or, you could hit start key on your keyboard, type lite upgrade, hit enter and let the little tool do its job.

Hope this helps!

3.8 out before its own release?
Ah, those darn time travel problems!
Jerry should be more careful with the space time continuum.

Cheers!

FYI - DMZ theme looks to be fixed on 18.04 base. Lets hope it stays that way. I'm going to bundle the Openzone themes into 4.x too. Changing size still does not work.
