The Ivy Carrier Board is designed for compatibility with the Verdin SoM family by Toradex. With a compact 130 x 105 mm form factor, it features dual Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, Mini PCIe, industrial I/O, and MIPI DSI for display integration. Built for demanding environments, it supports an extended temperature range and a wide input voltage.
The CAN FD Adapter enables high-speed CAN FD connectivity for embedded and industrial applications. Available in M.2 B-key and mini-PCIe form factors, it supports data rates from 12.5 kbit/s to 8 Mbit/s. It integrates with systems used in industrial monitoring, robotics, automation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, remote access, and data logging.
AAEON has announced the GENE-MTH6, a 3.5” SubCompact Board designed for edge computing and embedded applications. Featuring Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 1) with integrated Intel Arc Graphics, the board supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory and offers PCIe Gen 4 expansion with RAID 0 and RAID 1 support.
Coming only a week after Mozilla Thunderbird 134, the Mozilla Thunderbird 135 release is the first to adopt XZ packaging for the Linux binaries, similar to what Mozilla did with the Firefox 135 release. This change leads to faster unpacking, smaller file sizes when downloading, and better integration with modern distros.
Firefox 136 promises several exciting features like hardware video decoding for AMD GPUs on Linux systems, hardware-accelerated playback of HEVC video content on macOS systems, support for the PNG image format when copying images out of Firefox to allow the preservation of transparency, and the long-awaited vertical tabs layout.
Coming three and a half months after Ardour 8.10, the Ardour 8.11 release is a small hotfix update addressing a critical workflow-blocking bug on Linux that occurred whenever the user was working on a session using musical time as the default time domain (Session > Properties > Misc).
Powered by Linux kernel 6.13, PorteuX 1.9 is here one and a half months after PorteuX 1.8, which was the first distro to ship with the latest and greatest Xfce 4.20 desktop environment. It introduces GUID Partition Table (GPT) compatibility to the installer, Docker support, CUPS support to GTK3, and the NVIDIA 570 graphics driver.
Highlights of Mozilla Firefox 135 include support for XZ packaging for Linux binaries for faster unpacking, smaller file sizes, and integration with modern distros, as well as support for closing only the current tab on Linux and macOS systems if the Quit keyboard shortcut is used while multiple tabs are opened.
Coming two weeks after fwupd 2.0.4, this release introduces support for more ELAN fingerprint readers, support for emulating devices reading EFI keys, support for skipping device tests by CPU architecture, and support for the StarLite magnetic keyboard from Star Labs.

Two weeks have passed since Linux kernel 6.13 hit the streets and Linux 6.14’s merge window was opened, which means that it’s time to test drive the Release Candidate versions weekly until the final release in about two months from today. But first, let’s take a look at the biggest new features and enhancements.
