The Linux Mint project is alive and kicking, and team leader Clement Lefebvre talks today about the upcoming features in Linux Mint 18.

First of all, the big news is that Linux Mint 18 will offer Cinnamon 3.0 and MATE 1.14 flavors. While Cinnamon 3.0 is still in the heavy development, the MATE 1.14 major release was announced a couple of days ago with numerous enhancements in various areas, including updated GTK+3 support.

Other than that, Cinnamon 3.0 will offer a new sound configuration dialog, completely rewritten in Python. As for the new icons and theme, Linux Mint 18 should ship with both Mint-X and new Mint-Y (not the final name) themes, the latter being based on the popular Arc GTK theme and Moka icon set.
