A short and incomplete list of changes since 0.8: * Improvements: + The network configuration utility now lists card details next to interface names, in case you would now know what is the interface name for your cards. + The USB installer is now a plain image, you can copy it to your USB stick under any operating system (you needed a running Linux system to install the previous version). + Changed the CHOST variable to $arch-frugalware-linux from a mix of $arch-pc-linux-gnu / $arch-unknown-linux, which generally causes more consistency and helps reporting bugs for upstream developers. + Improved security and general user support. We work together with other Linux vendors to provide better security support, and now our forums are [2] mirrored on a mailing list, so more developers can help you. + More than 150 other minor features / bugs have been implemented / fixed resulting in more than 2400 changes since the last release. * Package updates: + Linux 2.6.25 + security fixes + GCC 4.3.0 + GNOME 2.22 + More than 900 other package updates * New packages: + About 40 new Java library + Several new Drupal modules + Many new octave modules. + More than 150 other new packages Please refer to the Frugalware [3] Testing ChangeLog for more information. We now have a [4] feature schedule for new functionalities we plan to implement before we release Solaria as stable.
