33 <strong>20 May 2015 - SliTaz 5.0 RC-3 release</strong>
34 <p>
35 The Slitaz team is pleased to announce the new SliTaz 5.0-RC3 release
36 candidate. We have done a huge amount of work fixing bugs from RC2 with
37 about 2500 commits in our Mercurial repositories. All the 4800 packages
38 have been rebuilt to find and fix bugs and to ensure everything can
39 be rebuilt from source by advanced users.
40 </p>
41 <p>
42 We have reshaped Tazpanel and added multi user support. The default user is
43 nobody with some disabled menus. The login button provides more priviledges.

54 <strong>19 May 2014 - SliTaz 5.0 RC-2 release</strong>
55 <p>
56 The Slitaz team is pleased to announce the new SliTaz 5.0-RC2 release
57 candidate. We have done a huge amount of work fixing bugs from RC1 with
58 about 500 commits in our Mercurial repositories. All the 4300 packages
59 have been rebuilt to find and fix bugs and to ensure everything can
60 be rebuilt from source by advanced users.
61 </p>
62 <p>
63 We took a lot of time to improve users experience with our default and
64 custom LXDE desktop. Polkit and udisks configuration has been fixed
65 to correctly handle external devices and internal hard disk partitions.
66 </p>
67 <p>
68 The RC2 supports a new installation method. SliTaz can be installed into
69 a single directory without partitioning any hard disk and this method works
70 with all file systems including NTFS and FAT32.

81 <strong>02 May 2014 - SliTaz 5.0 RC-1 release</strong>
82 <p>
83 The Slitaz team is pleased to announce the availability of the SliTaz
84 GNU/Linux 5.0 Release Candidate 1 (RC-1)! It's very mature, but still
85 requires intensive testing before we'll be able to release a fully
86 stable version.
87 </p>
88 <p>
89 SliTaz 5.0 RC-1 includes many small bug fixes like the improved dialogs
90 for the slitaz-config utility that gives new users the ability to easily
91 setup their systems from a graphical or text interface, Tazpanel boasts
92 a new look and feel and the distribution now has better language support
93 than ever before. We've even fixed support for old ATA hard drives to
94 keep with our tradition of being able to run even on ancient systems.
95 </p>
96 <p>
97 The desktop is again powered by PCmanFM, but with the addition of
98 the trash can and gvfs/udisks support. The packages database has
99 received over 200 package updates and we've added about 50 new
100 packages to the repository. In preparation for the upcoming stable
101 release, we've updated the main website with a new style while making
102 the interface much easier to use.

121 editor, PathFinder file manager, Links2 web browser, TazIRC,

127 configure the system and the SliTaz ARM CGI remote control interface
128 with a custom RPi boot plugin. To use SliTaz RPi: download a flavor

142 <strong>16 Feb 2014 - New SliTaz Cooking Release</strong>
143 <p>
144 The Slitaz team is proud to announce the release of a new Cooking
145 version which paves the road to SliTaz 5.0. This new Cooking includes
146 almost 2 years of work and has an incredible ChangeLog. All our home
147 made tools have been improved with some great new tools such as
148 'frugal' or 'decode'. We focused a lot of work on Desktop integration
149 to provide a finer user experience and have largely improved the Linux
150 Kernel (3.2.53) configuration.
151 </p>
152 <p>
153 On the packages side we updated all existing packages and also added
154 a bunch of new packages to reach more than 4200 packages in the
155 Cooking database. Lots of work has also been done on the SliTaz
156 installer which provides a new Ncurses/text front-end.
157 </p>
158 <p>
159 The LiveCD will now ask for language settings before booting so users
160 can get directly to the Desktop after boot scripts have been executed.
161 The size of the ISO image has grown a little due to better hardware
162 support and new functions. You can download the ISO image from a SliTaz
163 mirror (40 Mb):
