Noctalia v5.1.0 was released, introducing a new annotation-based screenshot editor, cellular data toggles, and support for WPA2 and WPA3 Enterprise Wi-Fi configurations in the Wayland desktop shell. This update, built on a C++ rewrite that significantly reduced memory usage, aims to enhance workflow rather than implement major changes. Additionally, the update improves the networking experience with tighter integration of mobile data management and enterprise Wi-Fi settings. Other minor tweaks include better notification management, display settings, and a fix for lock screen issues, reflecting the project's shift into a maintenance phase with lower community engagement
Noctalia 5.1.0 Ships With Screenshot Editor, Cellular Support, and Enterprise Wi-Fi
Noctalia v5.1.0 shipped today, bringing a proper annotation-based screenshot editor and native cellular data toggles to the Wayland desktop shell. The update also finally adds WPA2 and WPA3 Enterprise Wi-Fi configuration directly in the control center, closing a long-standing gap for corporate and education environments. Built on a C++ rewrite that slashed memory usage by roughly 80 percent, this release focuses on workflow refinement rather than major architectural shifts. Community engagement sits noticeably lower than the v5.0.1 stable launch, which tells you the project has firmly settled into its maintenance phase.
