Elementary OS 5.0 Juno Beta-2 Images Available for VirtualBox and VMware

Elementary team announced the Beta-2 version of their operating system “Elementary OS 5.0 Juno”: “It’s that time again: another beta release. Since beta 1, we’ve fixed over 200 issues and got back up to over 50 apps in AppCenter built specifically for ‘Juno’. We fixed a few issues around Gala, the Greeter, HiDPI and related refinements during the beta 2 cycle. A new Gala daemon provides better native GTK+ context menus for apps. This means that context menus scale properly on HiDPI, plus non-native apps with title bars now also get a menu. Picture-in-picture mode also scales better on HiDPI now. The login and lockscreen greeter is now more crisp on HiDPI. This is because we now have a simple compositor, which also provides things like shadows beneath the shutdown window and indicators. We also now use the same panel on the greeter as in the logged-in session, meaning indicators work more consistently, and you can scrub between them. We fixed an issue in AppCenter where new apps were not properly being displayed on the home page due to a package ID format deprecation.Now apps should be displayed whether they use the old or new format. Banners on the homescreen have a new glow on hover based on the brand color. It’s subtle, but more obvious on bright colors…” You can read complete release announcement here.
