122 <li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong><br />
123 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
124 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
125 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
126 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
127 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
128 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
129 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
130 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
131 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
132 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
133 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
134 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
135 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
136 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
137 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
138 <a href="get/#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
139 official mirrors of the project.
140 </li>
141 <li><strong>Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong><br />
142 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
143 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
144 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
145 from the internet using gPXE from
146 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
147 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
148 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
149 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
150 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
151 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
152 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
153 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
154 we offer loram <a href="get/flavors.html">flavors</a> for machines with less
155 resources. <a href="get/#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.
156 </li>
157 <li><strong>26 Jun 2008 - Cooking 20080626 with new Kernel</strong><br />
158 Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
159 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
160 provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
161 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
162 Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
163 <code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
164 of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides
165 some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
166 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and
167 a new function called zeroconf is available. Most packages are up-to-date
168 and Firefox 3.0 is part of the 25.2 Mb ISO. Cooking version can be
169 <a href="get/#cooking">downloaded</a> from SliTaz mirror. Bugs can
170 be reported on SliTaz Bug Tracking System:

173 <li><strong>18 May 2008 - Cooking 20080518 and LinuxDays.ch</strong><br />
174 SliTaz team is proud to announce the availability of a new Cooking
175 LiveCD ISO image providing huge changes from the stable release.

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

182 system information with Hardinfo, task management with LXTasks and a
183 password and clipboard manager. All the major packages have been updated -

233 LiveCD.</li>
234 <li><strong>16 Dec 2007 - SliTaz English forum</strong><br />
235 The project is proud the announce the availability of an
236 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/#idx2">English forum</a>
237 providing help and support to users speaking English. Since the project
238 is French based, we get a lot of feedback and requests from the English
239 speaking community that we want to honour. The forum has its own domain
240 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum.slitaz.org</a>. The default
241 interface is in French but settings can be changed when you login with your
242 account. The crew is also working on the lack of English documentation.
243 Help and assistance are greatly welcomed in the project.
244 </li>
245 <li><strong>06 Dec 2007 - 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster!</strong><br />
246 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster. With the new lzma compression
247 boot time has gone down, we worked hard these two days to improve boot speed
248 and finally get SliTaz to boot twice as fast. So we uploaded a new LiveCD with a
249 new Kernel patch for lzma and a bug fix for boot messages. Some
250 tests gave us the LiveCD booting between 20 to 30 seconds on recent PCs
251 and between 60 to 80 on older hardware.

253 </li>
254 <li><strong>04 Dec 2007 - New Cooking with sound support and more options</strong><br />
255 SliTaz crew is proud to announce the availability of a new SliTaz Cooking
256 release. It's finally not the expected stable release because we decided
257 to add some more hardware support on the LiveCD, like sound and PCMCIA
258 support. A new roadmap is on the stove and a stable release should be expected
259 in March 2008, matching one year of the first SliTaz public release. This will
260 also give us time to bring you a rock solid stable version with all these new
261 features and more than 240 packages on the mirror. So, this new SliTaz
262 release brings you Alsa with its mixer, Alsaplayer, mpg123, Gcolor2,
263 pcmciautils, and a new Kernel. SliTaz also provides new options to use at
264 boot time and isapnptools for very old hardware like IBM GL300 6272/6282 or
265 P133/32M. All this new stuff fits in an ISO image of 22,4 Mb. The Simple
266 Light Incredible... SliTaz (cooking) LiveCD can be obtained
267 on SliTaz mirror. <a href="get/#cooking">Download</a>. Enjoy!</li>
268 <li><strong>06 Nov 2007 - Last Cooking before 1.0</strong><br />

270 release. This new version provides PHP 5.2.5, Grsync, ISO Master 1.2,
