New release - 20080505

First of all, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. During the weekend both my notebook and desktop died unexpectedly, so I had no computer. I get my desktop working somehow during the Monday but I had to fix a lot of things and now it's fully functional. That was my excuse for not keeping my promise about date of the next release. And now, the most important part - new release.

What's new?


This release has much more applications then the older one. Well, but it's missing Konqueror embedded. I had some problems to compile it, I'll try it again, but it's missing for now.

Sound


A lot of people was asking how to turn sound on. It's easy, you just adjust volume in mixer. To make it even easier, current release has by default volume set to max. So you don't have to ask how to turn it on. Other sound related news is that volume applet in Opie is "fixed", so you can adjust volume much easier.

New icons


A lot of applications has a new, much nicer icons. That's because of the hard work of z72ka. He prepared this icons for you and he helped me a lot with building release. So great thanks to him.

Bugs


This release is basically release from LinuxExpo with several bugs fixed and some little adjustments. There is still some bugs left as everywhere. One thing is missing Konqueror embedded as I already mentioned. Other already known bug is some mistake in russian localization. I'll try to take a look at both these errors and try to fix them, but it will take a lot of time and I'm quite busy with school right now...

Download


Maybe I should mention where to get it too. You can get it as always on my webpages. Last note, there should be some surprise for you, so pay attention during the first boot ;-)
