Hello everyone,  the new Apertis 16.09 stable release is now available!

You can find the full release notes at  https://wiki.apertis.org/16.09/ReleaseNotes

Some highlights from this release:

* Routing information sharing for navigation services   Traprain is a new library introduced in Apertis 16.09 allowing    navigation services to share routing information with third party    applications. It enables applications to get the available routes to    reach one or more destinations: for instance, with Traprain an    application can request the routes to the nearby restaurants and    sort them by estimated arrival time form the current location to    help choosing the one to book.

* Hardware accelerated support for Web contents   Apertis 16.09 ships with readily available support for accelerating    Web contents (CSS3 transforms and animations, WebGL scenes) using the   GPU efficiently under Wayland. This means that you can navigate the   modern Web even with limited CPU resources and run WebGL scenes fully   unleashing the power of your GPU.   Most of this work has been submitted upstream and we plan to submit   the remaining optimizations soon.

* Canterbury API for launching preferences   A new API (org.apertis.Canterbury.AppDbHandler.LaunchAppPreferences)   has been implemented to allow applications to launch their   preferences in mildenhall-settings, including design and support   work, and unit tests for the implementation in Canterbury.
