157 <li><strong>28 Feb 2009 - New Cooking 20090228</strong><br />
158 Getting ready for the next stable release! - The SliTaz project is proud
159 to publish a new Cooking version with a lot of bug fixes, updates, improvements
160 and new features. PCI/USB device auto-detection is now handled by Tazhw and
161 firmware can be installed in one click through a graphical interface.
162 Tazndis also has a simple GUI which lets you manage Windows drivers in a
163 user friendly interface. The graphical packages manager is also much simpler
164 to use and LiveUSB media such as a USB key can easily be created through a box.
165 Netbox displays all interfaces and the new Wifibox can connect to
166 wireless essids, manage favorite networks and configure card drivers
167 manually or through Tazhw. The desktop has a GUI to enable or disable
168 applications started with an Openbox session and Ivman with desktopkbox
169 provides a lightweight notification system. You can
170 <a href="get/#cooking">download</a> this new ISO image from one of the
171 official mirrors of the website.
172 </li>
173 <li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong><br />
174 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
175 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
176 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
177 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
178 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
179 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
180 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
181 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
182 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
183 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
184 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
185 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
186 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
187 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
188 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
189 <a href="get/#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
190 official mirrors of the project.
191 </li>
192 <li><strong>Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong><br />
193 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
194 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
195 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
196 from the internet using gPXE from
197 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
198 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
199 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
200 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
201 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
202 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
203 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
204 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
205 we offer loram <a href="get/flavors.html">flavors</a> for machines with less
206 resources. <a href="get/#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.

208 <li><strong>26 Jun 2008 - Cooking 20080626 with new Kernel</strong><br />
209 Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
210 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
211 provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
212 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
213 Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
214 <code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
215 of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides
216 some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
217 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and
218 a new function called zeroconf is available. Most packages are up-to-date
219 and Firefox 3.0 is part of the 25.2 Mb ISO. Cooking version can be
220 <a href="get/#cooking">downloaded</a> from SliTaz mirror. Bugs can

225 SliTaz team is proud to announce the availability of a new Cooking
226 LiveCD ISO image providing huge changes from the stable release.

228 you launch your favorite applications and manage files and dbus and hal
229 will automatically mount removable media such as USB keys or Hard disks.
230 Packages can now be managed through the graphical Packages Manager

285 <li><strong>16 Dec 2007 - SliTaz English forum</strong><br />
286 The project is proud the announce the availability of an
287 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/#idx2">English forum</a>
288 providing help and support to users speaking English. Since the project
289 is French based, we get a lot of feedback and requests from the English
290 speaking community that we want to honour. The forum has its own domain
291 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum.slitaz.org</a>. The default
292 interface is in French but settings can be changed when you login with your
293 account. The crew is also working on the lack of English documentation.
294 Help and assistance are greatly welcomed in the project.
295 </li>
296 <li><strong>06 Dec 2007 - 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster!</strong><br />
297 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster. With the new lzma compression
298 boot time has gone down, we worked hard these two days to improve boot speed
299 and finally get SliTaz to boot twice as fast. So we uploaded a new LiveCD with a
300 new Kernel patch for lzma and a bug fix for boot messages. Some
301 tests gave us the LiveCD booting between 20 to 30 seconds on recent PCs
302 and between 60 to 80 on older hardware.

304 </li>
305 <li><strong>04 Dec 2007 - New Cooking with sound support and more options</strong><br />
306 SliTaz crew is proud to announce the availability of a new SliTaz Cooking
307 release. It's finally not the expected stable release because we decided
308 to add some more hardware support on the LiveCD, like sound and PCMCIA
309 support. A new roadmap is on the stove and a stable release should be expected
310 in March 2008, matching one year of the first SliTaz public release. This will
311 also give us time to bring you a rock solid stable version with all these new
312 features and more than 240 packages on the mirror. So, this new SliTaz
313 release brings you Alsa with its mixer, Alsaplayer, mpg123, Gcolor2,
314 pcmciautils, and a new Kernel. SliTaz also provides new options to use at
315 boot time and isapnptools for very old hardware like IBM GL300 6272/6282 or
316 P133/32M. All this new stuff fits in an ISO image of 22,4 Mb. The Simple
317 Light Incredible... SliTaz (cooking) LiveCD can be obtained
