LSB 3.2

Friday, February 8th, 2008

The LSB Project has released the Linux Standard Base 3.2.

New in this version:

  • “Trial Use” standards, replacing the old “Optional” standards. Reporting requirements for these standards are stricter, which will help the workgroup evaluate them better.
  • The first non-native-code languages–Perl and Python–have been added.
  • Support for printing, based on the work of the OpenPrinting workgroup.
  • Multimedia support, starting with the ALSA API (as a trial-use module).
  • Several desktop standards from freedesktop.org, as well as the Portland Project’s xdg-utils (as trial use).
  • Elevation of Qt 4 to a required standards, and deprecation of Qt 3.
  • Many enhancements and changes to existing standards.

For more information, see the LSB 3.2 Release Notes.
