123 <li><strong>28 Feb 2009 - New Cooking 20090228</strong><br />
124 Getting ready for the next stable release! - The SliTaz project is proud
125 to publish a new Cooking version with a lot of bug fixes, updates, improvements
126 and new features. PCI/USB device auto-detection is now handled by Tazhw and
127 firmware can be installed in one click through a graphical interface.
128 Tazndis also has a simple GUI which lets you manage Windows drivers in a
129 user friendly interface. The graphical packages manager is also much simpler
130 to use and LiveUSB media such as a USB key can easily be created through a box.
131 Netbox displays all interfaces and the new Wifibox can connect to
132 wireless essids, manage favorite networks and configure card drivers
133 manually or through Tazhw. The desktop has a GUI to enable or disable
134 applications started with an Openbox session and Ivman with desktopkbox
135 provides a lightweight notification system. You can
136 <a href="get/#cooking">download</a> this new ISO image from one of the
137 official mirrors of the website.
138 </li>
139 <li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong><br />
140 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
141 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
142 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
143 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
144 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
145 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
146 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
147 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
148 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
149 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
150 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
151 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
152 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
153 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
154 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
155 <a href="get/#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
156 official mirrors of the project.
157 </li>
158 <li><strong>Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong><br />
159 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
160 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
161 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
162 from the internet using gPXE from
163 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
164 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
165 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
166 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
167 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
168 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
169 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
170 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
171 we offer loram <a href="get/flavors.html">flavors</a> for machines with less
172 resources. <a href="get/#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.
173 </li>
174 <li><strong>26 Jun 2008 - Cooking 20080626 with new Kernel</strong><br />
175 Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
176 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
177 provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
178 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
179 Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
180 <code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
181 of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides
182 some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
183 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and
184 a new function called zeroconf is available. Most packages are up-to-date
185 and Firefox 3.0 is part of the 25.2 Mb ISO. Cooking version can be
186 <a href="get/#cooking">downloaded</a> from SliTaz mirror. Bugs can
187 be reported on SliTaz Bug Tracking System:

191 SliTaz team is proud to announce the availability of a new Cooking
192 LiveCD ISO image providing huge changes from the stable release.

195 will automatically mount removable media such as USB keys or Hard disks.
196 Packages can now be managed through the graphical Packages Manager

251 <li><strong>16 Dec 2007 - SliTaz English forum</strong><br />
252 The project is proud the announce the availability of an
253 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/#idx2">English forum</a>
254 providing help and support to users speaking English. Since the project
255 is French based, we get a lot of feedback and requests from the English
256 speaking community that we want to honour. The forum has its own domain
257 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum.slitaz.org</a>. The default
258 interface is in French but settings can be changed when you login with your
259 account. The crew is also working on the lack of English documentation.
260 Help and assistance are greatly welcomed in the project.
261 </li>
262 <li><strong>06 Dec 2007 - 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster!</strong><br />
263 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster. With the new lzma compression
264 boot time has gone down, we worked hard these two days to improve boot speed
265 and finally get SliTaz to boot twice as fast. So we uploaded a new LiveCD with a
266 new Kernel patch for lzma and a bug fix for boot messages. Some
267 tests gave us the LiveCD booting between 20 to 30 seconds on recent PCs
268 and between 60 to 80 on older hardware.
269 <a href="get/#cooking">Download last Cooking</a>.
270 </li>
271 <li><strong>04 Dec 2007 - New Cooking with sound support and more options</strong><br />
272 SliTaz crew is proud to announce the availability of a new SliTaz Cooking
273 release. It's finally not the expected stable release because we decided
274 to add some more hardware support on the LiveCD, like sound and PCMCIA
275 support. A new roadmap is on the stove and a stable release should be expected
276 in March 2008, matching one year of the first SliTaz public release. This will
277 also give us time to bring you a rock solid stable version with all these new
278 features and more than 240 packages on the mirror. So, this new SliTaz
279 release brings you Alsa with its mixer, Alsaplayer, mpg123, Gcolor2,
280 pcmciautils, and a new Kernel. SliTaz also provides new options to use at
281 boot time and isapnptools for very old hardware like IBM GL300 6272/6282 or
282 P133/32M. All this new stuff fits in an ISO image of 22,4 Mb. The Simple
283 Light Incredible... SliTaz (cooking) LiveCD can be obtained
284 on SliTaz mirror. <a href="get/#cooking">Download</a>. Enjoy!</li>
285 <li><strong>06 Nov 2007 - Last Cooking before 1.0</strong><br />

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