209 <li><strong>28 Feb 2009 - New Cooking 20090228</strong><br />
210 Getting ready for the next stable release! - The SliTaz project is proud
211 to publish a new Cooking version with a lot of bug fixes, updates, improvements
212 and new features. PCI/USB device auto-detection is now handled by Tazhw and
213 firmware can be installed in one click through a graphical interface.
214 Tazndis also has a simple GUI which lets you manage Windows drivers in a
215 user friendly interface. The graphical packages manager is also much simpler
216 to use and LiveUSB media such as a USB key can easily be created through a box.
217 Netbox displays all interfaces and the new Wifibox can connect to
218 wireless essids, manage favorite networks and configure card drivers
219 manually or through Tazhw. The desktop has a GUI to enable or disable
220 applications started with an Openbox session and Ivman with desktopkbox
221 provides a lightweight notification system. You can
222 <a href="get/index.html#cooking">download</a> this new ISO image from one of the
223 official mirrors of the website.
224 </li>
225 <li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong><br />
226 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
227 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
228 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
229 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
230 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
231 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
232 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
233 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
234 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
235 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
236 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
237 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
238 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
239 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
240 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
241 <a href="get/index.html#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
242 official mirrors of the project.
243 </li>

245 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
246 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
247 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
248 from the internet using gPXE from
249 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
250 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
251 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
252 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
253 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
254 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
255 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
256 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
257 we offer loram <a href="get/flavors.html">flavors</a> for machines with less

262 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version

264 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.

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

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