* python 3.12 has some important changes, especially in its build infrastructure. Perhaps not all external packages are ready for the migration away from the old setup.py methods. | * python 3.12 has some important changes, especially in its build infrastructure.

* We also have the interpreters of python 3.8, 3.10 and 3.11 installed, for compatibility and in case you need them for your own projects or virtualenvs. These are the bare interpreters, we do not provide a complete stack of modules for these older versions. | * We also have the interpreters of python 3.8, 3.10 and 3.11 installed, for compatibility and in case you need them for your own projects or virtualenvs. These are the bare interpreters, we do not provide a complete stack of modules for these older versions. |

* Note: in the previous OS versions, there was an extension named ''topicons plus''. If you had that enabled, you will have to enable the new extension now, and possibly remove references to the no longer existing extension. | * Note: in the previous OS versions, there was an extension named ''topicons plus''.

* The ''clipit'' clipboard app that is a default part of Gnome, Cinnamon and MATE desktops, sometimes hangs, which blocks all cut, copy and paste actions. Exit the app by right-clicking on the icon (which looks like a clipboard), and choose the quit action. If this happens a lot to you, you might want to disable the app in your startup applications preferences. The app is only needed to maintain a clipboard history; without it, a single cut/copy and paste is still possible. | * The ''clipit'' clipboard app that is a default part of Gnome, Cinnamon and MATE desktops, sometimes hangs, which blocks all cut, copy and paste actions.

* Workarounds are in place for some software that was built with older versions of CFITSIO (GILDAS) and/or older GFortran (StarLink). When using these programs from within other programs, this workaround may be bypassed (eg, GILDAS software linked from within CASA). If you run into that issue, let us know so we can provide you with the necessary workaround. Eventually these issues are expected to be solved when new versions of these software packages are released or recompiled using current libraries. GILDAS also has a workaround to use python 3.10 in stead of the system default 3.11, with which it fails to compile. | * Workarounds are in place for some software that was built with older versions of CFITSIO and/or older GFortran (StarLink).
