Coming three months after Parrot OS 7.3, the Parrot OS 7.4 release is here as the fourth update in the Parrot OS 7.0 series, which was the first to move from using MATE to KDE Plasma as the default desktop environment.

Coming a little over a month after LibreOffice 26.8, the LibreOffice 26.8.1 update is packed with bug fixes for various issues, crashes, and other annoyances reported by users, as well as more reliable import of text and CSV files with various character encodings, including UTF-16, ISO Latin 1, Chinese, and Japanese.

Efinix announced this week the Sapphire RV64, a configurable 64-bit RISC-V soft SoC intended for embedded Linux, edge AI and other applications requiring more memory and processing capability than the company’s existing 32-bit Sapphire architecture.

Featuring the quad-core Allwinner H618, the BPI-CM7 is a compact compute module with onboard LPDDR4 memory, eMMC storage, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. The module uses two 100-pin board-to-board connectors and is intended for use with Banana Pi’s BPI-CM7IO carrier board, which exposes multiple peripheral interfaces.
Pinetek Networks has developed the IOL Core4, a compact IO-Link-compatible master module for embedded systems. It connects up to four industrial sensors or actuators over IEC 61131-9 SDCI and is intended for integration into custom control, monitoring and IIoT hardware.
