    1.52 +<li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong>
    1.53 +	<p>
    1.54 +	The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
    1.55 +	LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
    1.56 +	it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
    1.57 +	distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
    1.58 +	via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
    1.59 +	Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
    1.60 +	WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
    1.61 +	mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
    1.62 +	heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
    1.63 +	allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
    1.64 +	according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
    1.65 +	be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
    1.66 +	applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
    1.67 +	(Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
    1.68 +	than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
    1.69 +	<a href="../get/index.html#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
    1.70 +	official mirrors of the project.

    1.73 +	<li><strong>16 Jul 2008 - Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong>
    1.74 +	<p>
    1.75 +	SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
    1.76 +	Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
    1.77 +	provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
    1.78 +	from the internet using gPXE from
    1.79 +	<a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
    1.80 +	unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
    1.81 +	(all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
    1.82 +	and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
    1.83 +	a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
    1.84 +	a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
    1.85 +	filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
    1.86 +	updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
    1.87 +	we offer loram <a href="../get/flavors.html">flavors</a> for machines with less
    1.88 +	resources. <a href="../get/index.html#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.

    1.91 +	<li><strong>26 Jun 2008 - Cooking 20080626 with new Kernel</strong>
    1.92 +	<p>
    1.93 +	Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
    1.94 +	of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
    1.95 +	provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
    1.96 +	modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
    1.97 +	Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
    1.98 +	<code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
    1.99 +	of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides
   1.100 +	some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
   1.101 +	text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and
   1.102 +	a new function called zeroconf is available. Most packages are up-to-date
   1.103 +	and Firefox 3.0 is part of the 25.2 Mb ISO. Cooking version can be
   1.104 +	<a href="../get/index.html#cooking">downloaded</a> from SliTaz mirror. Bugs can
   1.105 +	be reported on SliTaz Bug Tracking System:

   1.112 +	LiveCD ISO image providing huge changes from the stable release.

   1.116 +	Packages can now be managed through the graphical Packages Manager

   1.118 +	The LiveCD now offers: lua, a desktop search engine with searchmonkey,
   1.119 +	system information with Hardinfo, task management with LXTasks and a
   1.120 +	password and clipboard manager. All the major packages have been updated -
