Cairo Desktop 0.4.370 has just been released with a bunch of improvements. One of the highlights is the removal of.NET Framework 4.7.1, which means smoother performance and less hassle. Another addition is the new commands framework for extensions, making it even easier to customize your desktop experience. The update also brings support for the ARM64 build and translations in German, simplified Chinese, and Spanish.
