Full changelog: https://minecraft.wiki/Java_Edition_25w46a
Add, edit, and delete comments to make your own notes in PDFs (summaries, questions, tasks, etc.). The comment sidebar helps you scan all your comments and quickly jump to them, which is handy for long or heavily marked-up PDFs.
Need a reminder of what tabs are in a group? Hover over the tab group name to get a preview of the tabs inside without opening it.
You can now access and manage your saved passwords right from the sidebarโno need to open a new tab or window. Stay on the page youโre on and get to your logins faster.
Copy Link to Highlight allows users to share arbitrary sections of a page with others by copying a link through the context menu with a given selection
The Translations feature has an improved experience when translating between languages with different script directions.
New brand-inspired wallpapers are available for New Tab on desktop, with versions for both light and dark mode.
With the new Open links from apps next to your active tab setting, you can have links from other applications open next to your active tab instead of at the end of the tab strip.
Enhanced Bounce Tracking Protectionโs stateless mode is now enabled by default in ETP Strict, blocking more advanced tracking techniques based on redirection
For most Windows users, the existing desktop shortcut for launching Firefox has been replaced with the desktop launcher, a small program that will launch Firefox if it is installed, but if it is not installed will prompt the user to install Firefox. This will provide an easy installation point for Firefox users who acquire a new Windows device, where Firefox will not be installed by default, but the desktop launcher program may have synced via OneDrive or other cloud storage product. Learn more.
Horizontal tabs are now slightly more rounded to match the look of vertical tabs. Buttons and text inputs, including the address bar, have also been updated for consistency.
When no extensions are installed, clicking the Extensions button now shows a message highlighting how extensions can enhance your browsing, with links to the Firefox Add-ons store.
Local translation models are now compressed with Zstandard, reducing download sizes and on-device storage consumption. As always, all Firefox translations happen securely and privately on your local device, unlike other browsers that translate using cloud services.
We updated default automation preferences to better support Agentic browsing, reducing the steps agents need to complete a task and chances for the agent to get stuck.
Microsoft UI Automation phased release rollout at 100%. Microsoft UI Automation is the new accessibility framework for Microsoft Windows. This will provide better assistive technology (AT) support and performance on Windows for current and future assistive technologies.
Web Platform
Support has been added for the Atomics.waitAsync proposal, which is a non-blocking, asynchronous version of Atomics.wait. This allow synchronization of threads based upon the value in a shared memory location, for more details please consult our MDN documentation.
Firefox now supports the new Integrity-Policy header for enforcing sub-resource integrity for scripts. Further implementation of this header is underway.
Added Matroska support for the most commonly used codecs: AVC, HEVC, VP8, VP9, AV1, AAC, Opus, and Vorbis.
The text-autospace property is now supported, allowing automatic spacing adjustments between characters from different scripts.
The WebGPU DOM API (spec; MDN) is now available on macOS 26 (Tahoe) on Apple Silicon. For details, see the Mozilla Graphics Team Blog.
Unresolved
On Windows, clicking tabs may not work at the very top of the screen when Firefox is maximized on a second monitor. Weโre working to fix this in a future release. (Fixed in 147.0)
Community Contributions
With the release of Firefox 145, we are pleased to welcome the developers who contributed their first code change to Firefox in this release, 5 of whom were brand new volunteers! Please join us in thanking each of these diligent and enthusiastic individuals, and take a look at their contributions:
This is a hotfix for 5.1.10 that fixes the DxgiAdapterService, which is used by plugins that initialize DirectX using their own interop.
The 5.1.10 update was a maintenance release that added a Romanian translation, fixed some important bugs, and updated the bundled FileType plugins.
Get the Update
There are two releases of Paint.NET:
Microsoft Store release (recommended)
You can purchase it here. This helps fund development and is an alternative or supplement to sending in a donation. In addition, updates happen automatically in the background when youโre not using the app.
If you already have it installed, the update should happen automatically once Microsoft certifies the update, usually within the next day or so. To get the update immediately (once itโs certified), you can follow the instructions listed here.
If you already have it installed, you should be offered the update automatically within the next few days, but you can also get it immediately by going to Settings -> Updates -> Check Now.

The first release of Monitor as an elementary OS default app is here! Monitor is an app for monitoring your system resources and running processes, including with optional panel indicators. Since its last release, weโve completed the port to GTK4, rewrote the settings menu, and a ton more under the hood. Massive thanks to Stanisลaw, Ryo, and more for their hard work here.
Monitor running processes and available resources
Monitor should be automatically installed on your next update, but if you for some reason donโt get it, you can install Monitor with the Terminal command sudo apt install io.elementary.monitor.
Window Manager & Dock
Another massive bug fix release of our Window Manager has landed with 19 fixed issues including improved performance, fixes for HiDPI, and better animations. Weโve fixed issues with dock menus sometimes appearing behind the dock, apps will now launch correctly when you switch between Classic and Secure sessions, and more.
Blur effects have landed in the window switcher and are coming to the Dock
Plus, this release introduces a new blur effect. Youโll first notice it in the Alt + Tab window switcher, but in future updates we will also blur behind the Dock and Notifications. Big thanks to Leo and Leonhard for their hard work on this release.
Icons
We landed a highly requested redesign of folder icons thanks to newhoa. The new folder design is more rounded and more closely matches the design of the Files app icon.
Folder icons have been redesigned with rounded corners
Icons featuring a computer mouse have been slightly redesigned to include a scroll wheel. And, icons featuring a mouse pointer have been updated to match the new pointer design, thanks to William.
Mouse and Pointer icons have been updated
Plus a number of smaller clean ups including adding missing sizes for certain icons, adjusting lighting, and rounding a few edges. Finally, we now fall back to Adwaita icons when an app is missing a non-standard icon name, thanks to David Lapshin.
Code
In the symbols sidebar, tooltips for C language symbols are now more information like their Vala counterparts. When you clone a git branch, we now send an unobtrusive toast to let you know cloning has completed. Global searches now respect your search case sensitivity settings. Opening a second window no longer results in duplicate project entries in the project chooser. And the โOpen Folderโ keyboard shortcut has been fixed. Shoutouts Jeremy for his hard work on Code.
Files
Jeremy also fixed a number of small issues with Files including expanding trashed folders in the list view, refreshing views properly when files are deleted, and preventing a potential freeze when the Templates folder contains too many files and subfolders. Plus, Files now shows a setting for Date & Time format.
And More
In Power settings we now show a small warning about increased energy usage with certain options. The Sound menu now uses a toggle icon like Quick Settings instead of a switch to quickly mute. And media keys for volume now work on the Lock Screen thanks to Leo.
Get These Updates
As always, pop open System Settings โ System on elementary OS 8 and hit โUpdate Allโ to get these updates plus your regular security, bug fix, and translation updates. Or set up automatic updates and get a notification when updates are ready to install!
Early Access
Weโre laser focused on preparing to release OS 8.1 so big new features will almost exclusively be targeted to OS 9 from now on. We donโt have OS 9 builds available yet for you to try, but we are working on them already! Weโll let sponsors know first when OS 9 builds are available in Early Access to test. But for now, we have just one more thing.
64-bit Universal ARM builds from the stable updates channel are now available on our Builds website. These builds replace the old device-specific builds for platforms like Raspberry Pi and Pinebook, plus they add support for other ARM devices supported by Linux. This is thanks to the hard work of NN708 who has been dedicated to seeing this project through over the several months it took to complete.
Sponsors
At the moment weโre at 24% of our monthly funding goal and 324 Sponsors on GitHub! Shoutouts to everyone helping us reach our goals here. Your monthly sponsorship funds development and makes sure we have the resources we need to give you the best version of elementary OS we can!
Monthly release candidate builds and daily Early Access builds are available to GitHub Sponsors from any tier! Beware that Early Access builds are not considered stable and you will encounter fresh issues when you run them. Weโd really appreciate reporting any problems you encounter with the Feedback app or directly on GitHub.
The Stable channel has been updated toย 142.0.7444.134/.135 for Windows andย 142.0.7444.135 forย Mac andย 142.0.7444.134ย for Linux,ย which will roll out over the coming days/weeks. A full list of changes in this build is available in theย Log.
