pankso@1224 33 <strong>19 May 2014 - SliTaz 5.0 RC-2 release</strong>
pankso@1224 34 <p>
pankso@1224 35 The Slitaz team is pleased to announce the new SliTaz 5.0-RC2 release
pankso@1224 36 candidate. We have done a huge amount of work fixing bugs from RC1 with
pankso@1224 37 about 500 commits in our Mercurial repositories. All the 4300 packages
paul@1226 38 have been rebuilt to find and fix bugs and to ensure everything can
pankso@1224 39 be rebuilt from source by advanced users.
pankso@1224 40 </p>
pankso@1224 41 <p>
pankso@1224 42 We took a lot of time to improve users experience with our default and
paul@1226 43 custom LXDE desktop. Polkit and udisks configuration has been fixed
paul@1226 44 to correctly handle external devices and internal hard disk partitions.
pankso@1224 45 </p>
pankso@1224 46 <p>
paul@1226 47 The RC2 supports a new installation method. SliTaz can be installed into
paul@1226 48 a single directory without partitioning any hard disk and this method works
pankso@1224 49 with all file systems including NTFS and FAT32.

pankso@1214 60 <strong>02 May 2014 - SliTaz 5.0 RC-1 release</strong>
pankso@1208 61 <p>
pankso@1208 62 The Slitaz team is pleased to announce the availability of the SliTaz
pankso@1208 63 GNU/Linux 5.0 Release Candidate 1 (RC-1)! It's very mature, but still
pankso@1208 64 requires intensive testing before we'll be able to release a fully
pankso@1208 65 stable version.
pankso@1208 66 </p>
pankso@1208 67 <p>
pankso@1208 68 SliTaz 5.0 RC-1 includes many small bug fixes like the improved dialogs
pankso@1208 69 for the slitaz-config utility that gives new users the ability to easily
pankso@1208 70 setup their systems from a graphical or text interface, Tazpanel boasts
paul@1215 71 a new look and feel and the distribution now has better language support
pankso@1208 72 than ever before. We've even fixed support for old ATA hard drives to
pankso@1208 73 keep with our tradition of being able to run even on ancient systems.
pankso@1208 74 </p>
pankso@1208 75 <p>
pankso@1208 76 The desktop is again powered by PCmanFM, but with the addition of
pankso@1208 77 the trash can and gvfs/udisks support. The packages database has
pankso@1208 78 received over 200 package updates and we've added about 50 new
pankso@1208 79 packages to the repository. In preparation for the upcoming stable
pankso@1208 80 release, we've updated the main website with a new style while making
pankso@1208 81 the interface much easier to use.

pankso@1184 121 <strong>16 Feb 2014 - New SliTaz Cooking Release</strong>
pankso@1184 122 <p>
pankso@1184 123 The Slitaz team is proud to announce the release of a new Cooking
pankso@1184 124 version which paves the road to SliTaz 5.0. This new Cooking includes
pankso@1184 125 almost 2 years of work and has an incredible ChangeLog. All our home
pankso@1184 126 made tools have been improved with some great new tools such as
pankso@1184 127 'frugal' or 'decode'. We focused a lot of work on Desktop integration
pankso@1184 128 to provide a finer user experience and have largely improved the Linux
pankso@1184 129 Kernel (3.2.53) configuration.
pankso@1184 130 </p>
pankso@1184 131 <p>
pankso@1184 132 On the packages side we updated all existing packages and also added
pankso@1184 133 a bunch of new packages to reach more than 4200 packages in the
pankso@1184 134 Cooking database. Lots of work has also been done on the SliTaz
pankso@1184 135 installer which provides a new Ncurses/text front-end.
pankso@1184 136 </p>
pankso@1184 137 <p>
pankso@1184 138 The LiveCD will now ask for language settings before booting so users
pankso@1184 139 can get directly to the Desktop after boot scripts have been executed.
pankso@1184 140 The size of the ISO image has grown a little due to better hardware
pankso@1184 141 support and new functions. You can download the ISO image from a SliTaz
pankso@1184 142 mirror (40 Mb):
