   An update for PikoPixel 1.0 BETA9a is now available: 1.0 BETA9b.

   PikoPixel 1.0 BETA9b has several fixes for the GNUstep version (no  
significant Mac changes):
- Fixed window issues on Budgie, Cinnamon, GNOME, & Pantheon desktops
- Various UI Fixes

   The updated version can be downloaded from the website, the  
GNUstep Software Index, or the FSF's Free Software Directory:
http://twilightedge.com/mac/pikopixel/
http://www.gnustep.org/softwareindex/showdetail.php?app=205
https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/PikoPixel

   PikoPixel is now packaged on several distros, thanks to the  
packagers:
- Debian 10 package by Gürkan Myczko & Yavor Doganov
- FreeBSD port by David Chisnall
- Gentoo package by Bernard Cafarelli

   On Debian 10 & Ubuntu 18.04, PikoPixel can also be installed from  
a Software-Center App, such as GNOME Software (Ubuntu Software), or  
KDE Discover.

   For Debian-based distros released before the PP package was added  
(Debian 9, Raspbian Stretch, & Ubuntu 16.10+), there's now an easy  
install script at:
http://twilightedge.com/gnustep/pikopixel/install_script.html

   Please send questions, comments, or issues to pikopixel (at)  
twilightedge (dot) com.

Cheers,
