Are there any improvements compared to the last stable image? Bugs fixed, 
performance improvements, new features? If there are, could you point them out 
so we can test them? If not, then what is the point of a new release?

When I tried to start Marble in live boot, the whole system crashed (the X 
Server died and wouldn't come back). This is reproducible.

Playing video and music worked fine on my Wetab.

There is a new launcher "Help", which tries to start KDE Help Center but that 
crashes. Is that supposed to be there anyway?

Flipping through pages in Okular Active does not work anymore unless one zooms 
in or out first.

These were all the issues I could find, but I think all of them have to be fixed 
before releasing it (for Marble, a possible workaround would be to not install 
it if all else fails).

Cheers,
