No new features have been added since 1.3rc2, but 94 changes have been made to fix minor bugs. If you didn't follow the changes during the pre/rc releases, here are the most important changes since 1.1 in no particular order: * Updated packages: Linux kernel 2.6.35, Xorg server 1.8, GNOME 2.30, KDE 4.4.5 to name a few major components. * For the first time in the history of Frugalware Linux, we're offering an official graphical netinstall image, search for the "-gui" suffix on the ftp mirrors. * This time we've verified that no workaround is needed to install this release in VMware and because of this, the relevant note is removed from the documentation. * The monolithic configuration of XOrg is now split to the [2] xorg.conf.d directory . You can still use the monolithic config, but the config files in the new directory have priority. XOrg now also uses udev to detect your hardware automatically, /etc/X11/xorg.conf is no longer generated by default. * Updated image libraries: [3] libjpeg 8 and [4] libpng 1.4 . While adding support for these new libraries, we touched 1500+ packages, doing various minor fixes and improvements [5] here and there .

It is highly recommended to upgrade to our new stable release, as there will be no more security and bug fixes for Locris. We have released FSA637 to FSA691 for Getorin. That means 55 security problems were issued in half a year. If you update to Haven, it will also fix the following vulnerability: * [1] #4292 - clamav References 1. http://bugs.frugalware.org/task/4292
