Hello All, Located at: http://www.colinux.org/snapshots/ The recently uploaded snapshot 20050524 (0.6.3-pre13), brings a bunch of bug fixes for the existing 0.6.2 release: * Fix for console slowness when compared to 0.6.2-pre6 (or an coLinux with an linux kernel 2.6.8.1) ----------------------------------------------------------- If you've noticed that upgrading to 0.6.2 caused the console to be significantly slower, then you'll really want to get this. If you hadn't noticed (and you use the coLinux consoles), you will... * CTRL-ALT-DEL handling (sorta) for NT Console -------------------------- =20 Pressing SHIFT-CTRL-ALT-DEL at an NT Console now does the same as choosing Send CTRL-ALT-DEL menu option in FLTK Console. =20 * SLIRP network option is much more stable ----------------------------------------- This option was unstable and would crash regularly in versions prior to 0.6.3-pre11 As of this version it's quite stable (I upgraded an entire Mandrake from 10.0 to 2005LE & went from FC1 to FC2 to FC3 with it) without a single crash. On the command-line do: eth0=3Dslirp,<MAC> where <MAC> is optional In the XML config do: <network index=3D"0" type=3D"slirp"></network> =20 You can specify an MAC by doing ma=3D"<MAC>", where <MAC> is the mac to specify. * Several cofs issues fixed, UNICODE support added ----------------------------------------- cofs had UNICODE support added, and a crash when creating directories was fixed, as well as an CPU Load when doing an "df". * Limited Font support added to FLTK Console ----------------------------------------- using environment variables you can specify (fixed width only) fonts and font sizes for the FLTK console to use, eg: set COLINUX_CONSOLE_FONT=3DLucida Console:12 * Max Memory limit raised to 1000MB ----------------------------------------- Previously was capped at around 512MB, this has been somewhat tested. * Building for Linux as host has been improved ----------------------------------------- Some things where out of sync with the winnt version, this was fixed, some additional checks where added. * Restricted access to /dev/mem & /dev/kmem ----------------------------------------- Some installers, udev, and various other components of some distros where trying to access memory directly and causing a hang or crash. Please feel free to try this version, and report problem to the mailing lists or me directly. This is likely to become the 0.6.3 release if no significant problems are reported with in a few weeks. Thanks, --=20 George |
