pankso@233 122 <li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong><br />
pankso@233 123 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
pankso@233 124 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
paul@235 125 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
pankso@233 126 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
pankso@233 127 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
pankso@233 128 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
pankso@233 129 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
pankso@233 130 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
pankso@233 131 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
pankso@233 132 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
pankso@233 133 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
pankso@233 134 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
pankso@233 135 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
pankso@233 136 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
pankso@233 137 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
pankso@233 138 <a href="get/#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
pankso@233 139 official mirrors of the project.

pankso@110 141 <li><strong>Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong><br />
paul@113 142 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
paul@113 143 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
paul@113 144 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
pankso@110 145 from the internet using gPXE from
pankso@110 146 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
pankso@110 147 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
paul@113 148 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
paul@113 149 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
pankso@110 150 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
pankso@110 151 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
paul@113 152 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
paul@113 153 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
paul@122 154 we offer loram <a href="get/flavors.html">flavors</a> for machines with less

paul@90 165 some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
paul@90 166 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and

pankso@5 234 <li><strong>16 Dec 2007 - SliTaz English forum</strong><br />
pankso@5 235 The project is proud the announce the availability of an
pankso@5 236 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/#idx2">English forum</a>
pankso@5 237 providing help and support to users speaking English. Since the project
pankso@50 238 is French based, we get a lot of feedback and requests from the English
paul@155 239 speaking community that we want to honour. The forum has its own domain
pankso@50 240 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum.slitaz.org</a>. The default
pankso@5 241 interface is in French but settings can be changed when you login with your
pankso@5 242 account. The crew is also working on the lack of English documentation.
pankso@5 243 Help and assistance are greatly welcomed in the project.

pankso@5 245 <li><strong>06 Dec 2007 - 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster!</strong><br />
pankso@50 246 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster. With the new lzma compression
pankso@50 247 boot time has gone down, we worked hard these two days to improve boot speed
pankso@5 248 and finally get SliTaz to boot twice as fast. So we uploaded a new LiveCD with a
pankso@5 249 new Kernel patch for lzma and a bug fix for boot messages. Some
pankso@5 250 tests gave us the LiveCD booting between 20 to 30 seconds on recent PCs
pankso@50 251 and between 60 to 80 on older hardware.

pankso@5 255 SliTaz crew is proud to announce the availability of a new SliTaz Cooking
pankso@5 256 release. It's finally not the expected stable release because we decided
pankso@5 257 to add some more hardware support on the LiveCD, like sound and PCMCIA
pankso@5 258 support. A new roadmap is on the stove and a stable release should be expected
pankso@5 259 in March 2008, matching one year of the first SliTaz public release. This will
pankso@5 260 also give us time to bring you a rock solid stable version with all these new
pankso@5 261 features and more than 240 packages on the mirror. So, this new SliTaz
paul@155 262 release brings you Alsa with its mixer, Alsaplayer, mpg123, Gcolor2,
pankso@5 263 pcmciautils, and a new Kernel. SliTaz also provides new options to use at

pankso@5 265 P133/32M. All this new stuff fits in an ISO image of 22,4 Mb. The Simple
