The Frugalware Developer Team is
pleased to announce
the immediate availability of Frugalware 1.1, our eleventh
stable release.
No new features have been added
since 1.1rc2, but 177 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 1.0 in no particular
order:
- Up to date packages: Linux
kernel 2.6.30.5, GNU C library 2.10.1, Xorg 7.4 with xorg-server
1.6, GNOME 2.26.3, XFCE 4.6.1, GCC 4.4.0 to name a few major
components.
- Major review in the
documentation: numerous grammatical fixes and various
extensions.
- An x86_64 flash plugin is now
part of the default installation.
- Etoile is now part of the
repository, see
this post for more details.
- Major update on the graphical
installer (fwife), see the changelog
here and
there.
- Packaged android-sdk, for
those who want network access from Frugalware through their
Android phones.
- Just a FYI in case you are
using the ext3 filesystem, which is our current default:
though we ship the latest stable kernel, we did not switch
the default value of the 'data' option to 'writeback', the
feature which still makes ext3 seem more robust than ext4 at
the time of writing. See
here for more
information.
- New artwork includes a new
wallpaper and a new Gnome theme.
Please refer to the Frugalware
Getorin ChangeLog for more information.
Download for i686, x86_64 and ppc: See our
