Parrot OS: Parrot 4.4 Release Notes

Parrot 4.4 released!

Parrot 4.4 Development Goals:

The Parrot 4.4 development process involved the ideas of many people from our community, and the goal of this new update was mainly to target software developers and increase average system stability.

• Debian Testing stability status: stabilization stage for new Debian 10 (buster) release should arrive around the second quarter of 2019.
• Parrot 4.4 uses VSCodium as its new advanced editor instead of Atom, because the atom binary packages became too bloated and too heavy.
• Added full support for Golang, Rust, Vala and Mono (a FLOSS and independent .NET implementation).
• Parrot-privacy now provides all the privacy-related applications as anonsurf, torbrowser, ricochet-im, onionshare and more.
• KDE Plasma Edition: Parrot KDE includes the latest 5.13 Plasma desktop with custom configurations that proved to be very lightweight and fast with a small memory footprint.
• BTRFS and XFS are the new default filesystem: The new Debian-Installer was modified to use btrfs by default for root and xfs for the home filesystem.
