Many changes have been implemented since the last release, most notable of which is certainly Apricity Freezedry, a system configuration tool that has been integrated into the development build system for Apricity OS. With a simple TOML configuration file, many aspects of a system may be configured, including Gnome and Cinnamon themes and settings, installed packages, enabled systemd services, and enabled vim plugins (installed through Pathogen). Freezedry is built with modules, each in charge of controlling a specific aspect of a user's system. A full list of modules can be found on github.You can checkout release announcement published in Apricity blog for authentic and up-to-date information.
Other changes to the OS include LUKS encryption support in both the stable Aspen releas and the dev snapshot, a more stable installer, improved touchpad support, and fuller icon coverage.
The Apricity OS project also has a new and improved website that includes a forum, a blog, wiki-style documentation, and an online interface for Freezedry. This interface allows users to create a Freezedry configuration in a familiar web-based environment, and build custom Apricity OS ISOs with their custom configurations already enabled.
