Small improvement for handling of non-#TDE windows.
Some applications (like zenity or d-feet) ask for their border to be hidden. Until now it wasn't possible to override such request, not even temporarily.
A recent fix allows to toggle a border or to set advanced conditions to force the application to start in a bordered mode. Use the window's menu (usually Alt+F3) and the Advanced submenu to access it.

Updated PSB/PTB packages are already available on the #Trinity mirrors.

Note for users of #TDE Preliminary Stable Builds (PSB).

As it is customary with every new #Trinity release, there is a short period of time when PSB packages will be held in a frozen state, matching the release ones. This facilitates switching back to stable package for those users who moved to PSB only for temporary reasons (for example for urgent fixes).
Building of rolling PSB packages will resume on May 10, 2026.

Le génial bureau #TDE passe en version R14.1.6.
Pour les utilisateurs Debian, un "full-upgrade" est nécessaire à cause du changement de noms dans certains paquets. Toutes les infos sont disponibles sur le site de Trinity.
