Paytm is the latest Indian giant startup that has expressed an interest in becoming public in recent months.
We believe the super-app battle in India is not a ‘winner takes all’ but a game of execution, business building, and creating a superior customer experience with ecosystem integration,” Bernstein analysts added. “However, under the hood, Paytm leads on merchant payments and has built an ecosystem of synergistic fintech verticals around its ‘super-app.’ The ecosystem spans payments (wallet/UPI), full-suite merchant acquiring, credit tech, digital bank, wealth, and insurance tech. “With the advent of UPI, there has been a rising narrative that questioned Paytm’s market leadership,” the analysts wrote, referring to the exponential growth of payments stack developed by retail banks in India that has been adopted by several firms, including Google and PhonePe (as well as Paytm), and which has somewhat lowered the appeal of mobile wallets in India. The sound applet is able to show the player, status, artist and tooltip in its tooltip.An overview of Paytm’s financial services ecosystem (Bernstein) The menu applet respects natural dimensions and can switch categories on click rather than hover. In the preferences, orca received better support and IPV6 DNS is now visible. In the window manager, improvements were made to focus-stealing, wine fullscreen applications and the restoration of window positions after a Cinnamon restart. This is done to ensure the input is grabbed and the session is hidden even if the screensaver happened to crash.Ĭinnamon 5.0 is better at detecting power state changes and better at reporting them (notifications, battery icons accuracy, filtering devices with no percentages). In addition to locking the screen, the screensaver launches a new fallback window in a separate process. More information was also added such as the author's name and the spice's unique ID.īehind the curtain the validation and the translation process were reviewed and checks were added to Cinnamon's continuous integration. This was improved to ensure everything is properly translated and that all spices have the same name, icon and description whether they're installed or not.
In past Cinnamon versions there were differences between the installed tab and the download tab for applets, desklets and extensions.
Linux distributions can also rely on the new Python 3 module to integrate Cinnamon updates within their Update Manager like it was done in Linux Mint 20.2. It lists available updates and is able to apply them. The new command line utility is called "cinnamon-spice-updater". Spice managementĬinnamon 5.0 provides a new CLI and a Python 3 module dedicated to spice updates.
This results in a net minimum gain of about 20MB RAM on lean specs and up to a few hundred MB of RAM on some computers.Īlthough it's technically more akin to a code change and not a resource usage optimization, the response time for quickly switching between two applications using Alt+Tab was improved, giving the impression of a snappier desktop environment. In Cinnamon 5.0 it now only runs on-demand when the screensaver needs to be activated. The Cinnamon screensaver daemon used to run constantly in the background. It will keep a log of such events so that you can see if this happens often and help the development team troubleshoot the issue. You won't lose your session or your windows, Cinnamon will just be unresponsive for about a second while it restarts itself internally. If that maximum amount is reached Cinnamon will restart itself.
