Subject: [Frugalware-announce] Happy New Year!
Message-ID: <20110101020432.EB172132C39E@genesis.frugalware.org>

The Frugalware team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.
Building on the achievements of 2009, 2010 was a very successful year.
Frugalware featured upgrades to the Linux kernel, GNOME desktop, KDE desktop,
X.org and other major packages. Current developers and contributors continued
their great work and we welcomed several new developers and contributors. 2011
is almost certain to be an exciting year, so let's get started!

Subject: [Frugalware-announce] Frugalware 1.4rc2 (Nexon) released
Message-ID: <20110128072252.26B8B132C3A0@genesis.frugalware.org>

The Frugalware Developer Team is pleased to [1] announce the immediate availability of Frugalware 1.4rc2, the second candidate of the
upcoming 1.4 stable release.Here are some of the major improvements, fixes and updates since 1.4rc1:

  * Package updates:
	   + Linux 2.6.37 + fixes
	   + KDE SC 4.5
	   + Drupal 7 obsoletes Drupal 5. If a drupal-5 package has its own drupal-6
	     counterpart (eg. drupal-cck),
	             then the drupal-6 one (drupal6-cck) replaces the old one automatically.
	     If a drupal-5 package DOES NOT
	             have its own drupal6 counterpart, then the drupal6 package replaces it -
	     sorry for the inconvenience,
	             those drupal-5 bastards are not even supported by upstream.
	   + systemd v16 - and 5 more packages now support systemd
	                 using native unit files

  * Fixes:
	   + The CD/DVD installer can perform fully offline installation again.
	   + Various user interface fixes (missing icons in desktop
	                 files, etc.)
	   + Missing koffice localization packages are back (they were missing since the
	     integration of KDE4).
