CapivaraOS logo

Changelog

Key milestones in the development of CapivaraOS's distros.

CapivaraOS Marsh

1.2.2
July 2026
  • New visual identity: the walking capybara logo across all branding — wallpapers, icons, boot splash, login screen and installer.
  • The dock's application launcher icon is now the capybara head, replacing the KDE logo.
  • Fix: the logo no longer overlaps the text on the live session's welcome screen.
  • Fix: the ISO now ships with Fedora updates included, avoiding roughly 1,000 update packages on first boot.
  • Fix: the logo and photo credit on the photographic wallpapers are no longer cropped off on 4:3 screens.
  • Fix: the logo artwork no longer shows up as an option in the wallpaper picker.
1.1.2
June 2026
  • Plymouth now works correctly — boot animation with the CapivaraOS logo displays properly (fix: missing plymouth-plugin-script package).
  • GRUB title stays correct — boot menu permanently shows "CapivaraOS Marsh", even after system updates.
  • Offline update screen — Plymouth shows progress percentage during boot-time updates.
  • Fixed a brief duplicate bottom dock appearing right after login.
  • Plasma's welcome screen no longer opens on first login.
1.1.0
June 2026
  • First release ported to Fedora 44, from the original Debian/trixie base.

CapivaraOS Pup

1.1.2
July 2026
  • First public beta release of Pup, available to download.
  • New visual identity: the walking capybara logo across all branding — wallpapers, icons, boot splash, login screen and installer.
  • Fix: the ISO now ships with Fedora updates included. The updates repository was being silently ignored because it used a name reserved by Anaconda, so images shipped with plain Fedora 44.
  • Fix: the logo and photo credit on the photographic wallpapers are no longer cropped off on 4:3 screens.
  • Fix: the system identification in os-release and GRUB now survives future Fedora updates.
1.0.0
June 2026
  • First release of the Xfce spin (Fedora 44), designed for computers with at least 4 GB of RAM.
  • Exclusive wallpapers: 13 solid-color backgrounds with the CapivaraOS logo, plus capybara photos from Wikimedia Commons (CC BY/CC BY-SA) with embedded credits.
  • Full branding in the graphical installer (Cockpit/Anaconda WebUI) — shows CapivaraOS logo and colors instead of Fedora's.
  • Custom Plymouth boot theme on startup and shutdown.
  • LightDM login screen with CapivaraOS visual identity.
  • System correctly identified as CapivaraOS Pup in os-release and GRUB.

CapivaraOS Snout

1.1.5
July 2026
  • First public beta release of Snout, available to download.
  • New visual identity: the walking capybara logo across all branding — wallpapers, icons, boot splash, GDM login screen and installer.
  • Fix: the ISO now ships with Fedora updates included. The updates repository was being silently ignored because it used a name reserved by Anaconda.
  • Fix: the logo in GNOME's "About" panel is no longer cropped at the edges.
  • Fix: the system identification and the CapivaraOS logo now survive future Fedora updates — three mechanisms meant to reapply them were never actually running.
1.0.0
June 2026
  • First release of the GNOME spin, with its own branding package (capivaraos-branding), wallpapers, boot/login theme, and GDM background via dconf.
  • Stock Fedora Workstation GNOME environment, with no dock, global menu, or third-party themes.

This changelog only covers CapivaraOS's branding and system tweaks — it doesn't include the upstream Fedora, KDE, Xfce or GNOME package history.
