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

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

95 20140329 release after 2 years of stabilization and work porting

104 <p>
105 SliTaz Raspberry Pi also includes the TazBerry Ncurses utility to
106 configure the system and the SliTaz ARM CGI remote control interface
107 with a custom RPi boot plugin. To use SliTaz RPi: download a flavor
108 tarball, extract it, run the install.sh script and boot your
109 Raspberry Pi.

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