166 of USB and PCI devices, a GUI package manager and control center, and various
167 graphical tools to manage the distribution. The creation of USB media and
168 bootable LiveCD flavors is also simplified and greatly improved. The core
169 LiveCD includes Firefox 3.0.8, gFTP, LostIRC, ePDFView, mtPaint, Transmission,

205 <li><strong>28 Feb 2009 - New Cooking 20090228</strong><br />
206 Getting ready for the next stable release! - The SliTaz project is proud
207 to publish a new Cooking version with a lot of bug fixes, updates, improvements
208 and new features. PCI/USB device auto-detection is now handled by Tazhw and
209 firmware can be installed in one click through a graphical interface.
210 Tazndis also has a simple GUI which lets you manage Windows drivers in a
211 user friendly interface. The graphical packages manager is also much simpler
212 to use and LiveUSB media such as a USB key can easily be created through a box.
213 Netbox displays all interfaces and the new Wifibox can connect to
214 wireless essids, manage favorite networks and configure card drivers
215 manually or through Tazhw. The desktop has a GUI to enable or disable
216 applications started with an Openbox session and Ivman with desktopkbox
217 provides a lightweight notification system. You can
218 <a href="get/index.html#cooking">download</a> this new ISO image from one of the
219 official mirrors of the website.
220 </li>
221 <li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong><br />
222 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
223 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
224 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
225 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
226 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
227 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
228 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
229 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
230 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
231 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
232 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
233 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
234 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
235 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
236 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
237 <a href="get/index.html#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
238 official mirrors of the project.
239 </li>
240 <li><strong>16 Jul 2008 - Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong><br />
241 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
242 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
243 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
244 from the internet using gPXE from
245 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
246 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
247 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
248 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
249 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
250 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
251 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
252 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
253 we offer loram <a href="get/flavors.html">flavors</a> for machines with less
254 resources. <a href="get/index.html#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.

256 <li><strong>26 Jun 2008 - Cooking 20080626 with new Kernel</strong><br />
257 Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
258 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
259 provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
260 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
261 Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
262 <code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
263 of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides
264 some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
265 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and
266 a new function called zeroconf is available. Most packages are up-to-date

333 <li><strong>16 Dec 2007 - SliTaz English forum</strong><br />
334 The project is proud the announce the availability of an
335 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/#idx2">English forum</a>
336 providing help and support to users speaking English. Since the project
337 is French based, we get a lot of feedback and requests from the English
338 speaking community that we want to honour. The forum has its own domain
339 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum.slitaz.org</a>. The default
340 interface is in French but settings can be changed when you login with your
341 account. The crew is also working on the lack of English documentation.
342 Help and assistance are greatly welcomed in the project.
343 </li>
344 <li><strong>06 Dec 2007 - 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster!</strong><br />
345 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster. With the new lzma compression
346 boot time has gone down, we worked hard these two days to improve boot speed
347 and finally get SliTaz to boot twice as fast. So we uploaded a new LiveCD with a
348 new Kernel patch for lzma and a bug fix for boot messages. Some
349 tests gave us the LiveCD booting between 20 to 30 seconds on recent PCs
350 and between 60 to 80 on older hardware.

353 <li><strong>04 Dec 2007 - New Cooking with sound support and more options</strong><br />
354 SliTaz crew is proud to announce the availability of a new SliTaz Cooking
355 release. It's finally not the expected stable release because we decided
356 to add some more hardware support on the LiveCD, like sound and PCMCIA
357 support. A new roadmap is on the stove and a stable release should be expected
358 in March 2008, matching one year of the first SliTaz public release. This will
359 also give us time to bring you a rock solid stable version with all these new
360 features and more than 240 packages on the mirror. So, this new SliTaz
361 release brings you Alsa with its mixer, Alsaplayer, mpg123, Gcolor2,
362 pcmciautils, and a new Kernel. SliTaz also provides new options to use at
363 boot time and isapnptools for very old hardware like IBM GL300 6272/6282 or
364 P133/32M. All this new stuff fits in an ISO image of 22,4 Mb. The Simple
365 Light Incredible... SliTaz (cooking) LiveCD can be obtained
