CyanogenMod 11.0 M6 was released to the general public on Sunday, and
is available to download. The open-source community has also revealed the changelog
for the new 'snapshot' OS build that's compatible with a wide range of
Android-based smartphones (full list)
The
news comes from a post on CyanogenMod's official blog, which mentions
the change in the name from 'stable' to 'M' series as the former raised
confusion among users. "Like the 'stables' before it, 'M' releases are
built off the 'stable/CM-##.#' branches - the only difference is now
frequency and label. We could have chosen to remove 'M' releases and
stick with the 'stable' tag instead for these monthlies, but the word
'stable' itself is a misnomer - it doesn't mean bug free and it
certainly never meant feature complete; but with the name 'stable' it
gave the false impression that it did mean those things - especially to
those risk-adverse that would only hop from 'stable' to 'stable',"
stated the
blog.
CyanogenMod also mentions that it plans to release updates
after every two weeks, and that the full CyanogenMod 11.0 release will also be released soon.
The changes that will arrive in the CM 11.0 M6
include a fix for the Quick Settings tile for Quiet Hours; the
integration of Voice+ to the settings menu; the addition of provider
permissions for Blacklist; fixed custom wallpaper crashes and album art
issues of the lock screen; screen-off animation options for display;
Bluetooth fixes with audio routing to select car makes/models along with
upstream updates; MultiSim updates including additional patches and
UI/UX modifications; the new 'eject card' action for USB storage in the
settings option; decreased shutdown time in Parallel Shutdown mode; and
add pause/resume support for downloads.
Some of the other fixes
and updates made in the CM 11.0 M6 OS include the ability to disable
elements when in custom lock screen; the landscape tile layout fix,
option to show smaller tiles and add BT device name to tile in Quick
Settings; usage stats page fix; resolved memory leaks in Frameworks; new
Theme Engine capabilities including chooser; fix for security
vulnerability in icons; trebuchet - hidden apps and labels support, and
the removal of parallel boot dexopt from stable/cm-11.0 branch.
Last
month Cyanogen, as promised in January,
teamed up with OnePlus on the recently launched
OnePlus One, providing a
custom CM 11S OS version for the smartphone.
