Locris: End of life

Traducciones: EN, FR

With the release of Haven, the support for Locris is discontinued. 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 fixed in half a year.

If you update to Haven, it will also fix the following vulnerability:

Frugalware 1.3 (Haven) disponible

Traducciones: EN, FR

Frugalware 1.3 Haven is released !

El Equipo de Desarrolladore de Frugalware tiene el placer de anunciar la disponiblidad de Frugalware 1.3, our thirteenth stable release.

No se han añadido mejoras desde la 1.3rc2, but 94 problemas menores. Si no seguisteis los cambios durante la salida de la pre/rc, aquí tenéis algunos de los más importantes desde la 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 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: libjpeg 8 and libpng 1.4. While adding support for these new libraries, we touched 1500+ packages, doing various minor fixes and improvements here and there.
