需注意的是----Solus 的前身是 Evolve OS。
Solus（Solus Operating System） Beta 2 发布，即 Evolve OS Beta 2 发布。此版本可以用在 64 位操作系统中了，并且支持 EFI 机器。此次变更名字标志着很多的技术变化。现在，我们已经切换到仅使用 HTTPS 软件库，即可实现软件管理高度压缩包的增量更新；且此版本中所有的新开发包只使用了 ypkg 格式。
核心变化：
Linux 4.0.3
GNOME Stack 3.16.3
Budgie Desktop 8.2
Firefox 38.0.1
UEFI support (boot and installation)
NVIDIA proprietary driver support (346.xxx) - users simply install ‘nvidia-glx-driver’ from System/X.Org Drivers in Software Center
Switched to Solus-specific artwork, EvoPop.
X.Org 1.17.1 + Mesa 10.5.3
Completed rebrand.
技术上的变化：
All new packages developed for the Solus Operating System now use the ypkg format. Nearly 20% of our repository is now using the format.
Switch to HTTPS-only software sources
Buildbot based build system using efficient hardlink-centric repository management, with automatic deltas.
Repo-wide ABI freeze in place prior to RC1 path.
Long-standing Budgie performance and usability bugs addressed relating to X11 grab/focus cycles. Keybindings now work correctly across the board. Reduced memory footprint.
