How to Install Cinnamon 3.2.1 on Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10

    Cinnamon is a Linux desktop which provides advanced innovative features and a traditional user experience. The desktop layout is similar to Gnome 2. The underlying technology is forked from Gnome Shell. The emphasis is put on making users feel at home and providing them with an easy to use and comfortable desktop experience.


Cinnamon 3.2.1 Changelog:
  • rm obsolute and unsupport NEWS file
  • keyboard applet: Fix positioning of the flag render within its actor.
  • Fix some runtime warnings - in the sound applet, object construction is too soon to get the theme node, wait until 'style-changed' signal is sent by the main actor.  In the menu applet, remove return values of navigateContextMenu() - there is only one user of this function, and they don't check for a value.
