Frugalware 0.6pre2 (Terminus) released

Traductions: EN, ES

The Frugalware Developer Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Frugalware 0.6pre2, the second technical preview release of the upcoming 0.6 stable release.

A short and incomplete list of changes since 0.6pre1:

  • New features in the installer:
    • Much improved error handling. A dialog box will be displayed in the unlikely event of a segmentation fault and the installer will exit, instead of just restarting from the beginning.
    • Use library calls to download the package database, which gives better error handling. If the database update fails, you will be told about it, instead of being given an empty category list.
    • There is now an option to go back to a previous step in the installer (where it makes sense).
    • CD/DVD installation is now faster: integrity and conflict checks are done before creating the installation images.
    • There is floppy image available now for tftp installs.
  • Improvements:
    • Added KDE support to fw-xgl-control and Beryl.
    • Gnome-mount, a replacement for pmount in GNOME resulting in more reliable and flexible automounting in GNOME.
  • Updates:
    • Linux Kernel 2.6.19
    • Added virt-manager and gnome-applet-vm packages as GUI tools for Xen
    • GNOME 2.17.3, with new features and bug fixes
    • Xfce 4.4 Release Candidate 2, with a lot of bug fixes
    • Beryl 0.1.3 with lots of new eye-candy effects
    • dhcpcd 3.0, resulting in more reliable network autoconfiguration
    • Curl 7.16.0
    • DBUS 1.0 with several improvements and fixes
    • HAL 0.5.8.1 with new features and bug fixes
