MATE 1.12

The headline changes in MATE 1.12 are:

Fixes and improvements for GTK3 support across the entire MATE Desktop including GTK 3.18 support.
Touchpad support is significantly improved and now features multi touch and natural scrolling.
Multi monitor support has been improved so the display settings use output names and the revised UI lets you set the primary monitor.
The power applet now displays model and vendor information so you can distinguish between multiple battery powered devices.
Improved session management which now includes screensaver inhibition while playing media.
MATE now listens to the org.gnome.SessionManager namespace.
Extended systemd support.
Long standing bugs and many little usability paper-cuts were fixed.
For example, panel applets are no longer reordered when changing screen resolutions.
Translations updated and a number of components now retrieve strings directly from gschema (requires intltool 0.50.1).
Dropped support for win32 and osx.

Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it. — Edward Snowden
