Synopsis This is the official notice that Cucumber Linux 1.0 has reached its end of life (as of November 30, 2018). In summary this means that the Cucumber Linux Security Team will no longer provide any security or bug fixes for Cucumber Linux 1.0. We strongly recommend that any and all remaining users of Cucumber Linux 1.0 upgrade their systems to Cucumber Linux 1.1 as soon as possible. Cucumber Linux 1.1 will be fully supported through the end of 2019 and selectively supported into 2020. Upgrading to Cucumber Linux 1.1 Cucumber Linux 1.1 is a minor release of Cucumber Linux 1.x. Sticking with the Cucumber Linux support policy, the process of upgrading from Cucumber Linux 1.0 to 1.1 is designed to be as unintrusive as possible. It is possible to update a live system and most systems can be updated in less than 20 minutes without any downtime. A full guide for upgrading can be found at https://cucumberlinux.com/upgrade_guide/cucumber_linux_1.1.html.

The first alpha for Cucumber Linux 2.0 is now available. Several packages have been updated from Cucumber Linux 1.1, including Linux, GCC, glibc, binutils, OpenSSH, MariaDB, Rsync, Perl and PHP. Additionally, LibreSSL and Neovim make their debut. This release is intended for early testing purposes as it contains only a subset of the packages that will be included in the final release. New packages will be installable via pickle <https://wiki.cucumberlinux.com/wiki/package_management#update_management> as they become available. The installable ISO files are available for download at the download page <https://z5t1.com/cucumber/download.php>. Starting with this release, we will no longer be providing basic ISO images; users will need to use a DVD or USB flash drive to install. The full list of changes can be found in the CHANGELOGs <https://z5t1.com/cucumber/changelog.php> and on GitHub <https://github.com/cucumberlinux/ports/commits/sysbuild18002>. |

After six months of development, version 1.1 of Cucumber Linux has been released. This is a minor update, so only the few packages that needed to be updated for continued upstream support have need updated: PHP (updated to 7.2), Perl (updated to 5.26) and Bind client (updated to 9.11). Additionally, this release adds a few new daemons: VSFPTD 3.0.3, OpenSMTPD 6.0.3, Dovecot 2.2 and Bind server 9.11. This version of Cucumber Linux will be fully supported until December 31, 2019 and will then receive at least three months of selective support, putting the end of life date at March 31, 2020. For more information see the supported versions page <http://z5t1.com/cucumber/supported_versions.php>. Originally, it was stated that Cucumber Linux 1.1 would be released at least three months before the end of full support for Cucumber Linux 1.0. To keep this promise, the end of full support date for Cucumber Linux 1.0 has been pushed back from the original date of May 31, 2018 to September 30, 2018, and the end of life date has been pushed back from September 30, 2018 to November 30, 2018. This should allow plenty of time for users of Cucumber Linux 1.0 to upgrade to Cucumber Linux 1.1. We've also created a handy upgrade guide at https://cucumberlinux.com/upgrade_guide/cucumber_linux_1.1.html. Go grab the Cucumber Linux 1.1 installation ISOs at the download page <https://z5t1.com/cucumber/download.php>. The full list of changes can be found in the CHANGELOG <http://mirror.cucumberlinux.com/cucumber/cucumber-1.1/CHANGELOG>. Happy Hacking! |

The first release candidate for Cucumber Linux 1.1 has arrived. Being a release candidate, this version has the potential to become the official 1.1 release if no critical bugs are found in it. If you find any last minute bugs, make sure to get the reports in quickly. Starting with this release, we will no longer be providing MD5 checksums of the installation ISOs. We are doing this to encourage people to switch to using the more secure SHA256 or PGP signatures to verify the integrity of the images, since it is well known that MD5 is broken <https://www.mscs.dal.ca/%7Eselinger/md5collision/>. As always, you can get the installable ISOs at the download page <https://z5t1.com/cucumber/download.php> and the full list of changes can be found in the CHANGELOG <http://mirror.cucumberlinux.com/cucumber/cucumber-1.1/CHANGELOG>.

The third and final beta for Cucumber Linux 1.1 has been released. This beta introduces an upgrade feature which allows you to upgrade a Cucumber Linux 1.0 system to 1.1. We have also published a 1.0 to 1.1 upgrade guide, which is available at http://www.cucumberlinux.com/upgrade_guide/cucumber_linux_1.1.html. As always, you can get the installable ISOs at the download page <http://www.cucumberlinux.com/download.php> and the full list of changes can be found in the CHANGELOG <http://mirror.cucumberlinux.com/cucumber/cucumber-1.1/CHANGELOG> Happy Hacking! |

The second beta for Cucumber Linux 1.1 is here, and sooner than expected. Originally, it was planned that this second beta would be released at the beginning of December; however, a critical bug was discovered in the first beta: when a user tried to update his Cucumber Linux 1.1 Beta system using Pickle, Pickle would instead attempt to downgrade the system to Cucumber Linux 1.0. For this reason, we are encouraging all users of the first beta to either completely reinstall using this second beta or follow steps 2 and 3 (but NOT step 1) of the "Upgrading to the Cucumber Linux 1.1 Alpha" instructions on this blog post <https://sourceforge.net/p/cucumber-linux/blog/2017/10/work-begins-on-cucumber-linux-11/>. You can go get the installable ISOs at the download page <http://z5t1.com/cucumber/download.php>, and of course the full list of changes can be found in the CHANGELOG <http://mirror.cucumberlinux.com/cucumber/cucumber-1.1/CHANGELOG>. There will also be a third beta released at the beginning of December (when the second beta was originally going to be released). This will encompass what was originally going to be in second beta as outlined here <https://z5t1.com/cucumber/wiki/devdocs:1_1_roadmap>. Happy Thanksgiving! |

The first beta for Cucumber Linux 1.1 is here! As we move into beta, we will begin rigorously testing the new and updated packages in preparation for the stable 1.1 release. At this time, we are envisioning having another beta release at the end of November, followed by the first release candidate in mid to late December. You can go get the installable ISOs at the new and improved download page <http://www.cucumberlinux.com/download.php>. As always, the full list of changes can be found in the CHANGELOG <http://mirror.cucumberlinux.com/cucumber/cucumber-1.1/CHANGELOG>. Happy Hacking! |

After over one year of development, we are excited to finally announce that Cucumber Linux version 1.0 has been released! We believe that this release holds true to the original mission of Cucumber Linux: to create a usable, practical Linux Distribution without Systemd that follows the Unix Philosophy, useable as both a desktop and server distribution. This release of Cucumber Linux comes with a rich array of features, including (but not limited to): the Linux Kernel version 4.9 LTS, GNU Userspace utilities, System V Init, Apache 2.4, MariaDB 10.1, PHP 5.6, Xorg 7.7, XFCE 4.12, Firefox and Thunderbird version 52 and LibreOffice 5.3. This version of Cucumber Linux will enjoy over 10 months of full support, followed by an additional four months of selective support, putting the end of life date at September 30, 2018. Version 1.1 will be released at least 3 months before the end of full support, so there will be plenty of time to upgrade your systems when the time comes. For more information see the supported versions page <http://www.cucumberlinux.com/supported_versions.php> on the website (http://www.cucumberlinux.com/supported_versions.php). So what are you waiting for? Go get the 1.0 release of Cucumber Linux at the download page <http://www.cucumberlinux.com/download.php> of the website (http://www.cucumberlinux.com/download.php). As always, the full list of changes can be found in the CHANGELOG <http://mirror.cucumberlinux.com/cucumber/cucumber-1.0/CHANGELOG> (http://mirror.cucumberlinux.com/cucumber/cucumber-1.0/CHANGELOG). // Scott |

The second release candidate for Cucumber Linux 1.0 is now available. This release candidate fixes a few bugs in the installer (namely it fixes UEFI support and updates the installer's kernel to 4.9.x). Like the first release candidate, this version has the potential to become the official 1.0 release if no critical bugs are found. Again if you find any last minute bugs, make sure to get the bug reports in quickly. Go get it at the download page <http://www.cucumberlinux.com/download.php> on the website (http://www.cucumberlinux.com/download.php). The full list of changes can be found in the CHANGELOG <http://cucumber.mirrors.z5t1.com/cucumber/cucumber-1.0.rc/CHANGELOG> (http://cucumber.mirrors.z5t1.com/cucumber/cucumber-1.0.rc/CHANGELOG). // Scott |
