[Morphix-announce] 0.3-6 release

[Alex de L. <ale...@xs...>]

Hey everyone!

(copied from newspost on morphix.org)

Well, it took quite an effort to get it all online, but 0.3-6 is available now!
(and 0.3-5 has been torn down before sf.net complains). This upload has thus
been the second upload to sourceforge's ftp servers. Hoping to get upload access
back for dl.xs4all.nl soon, have been prodding xs4all to make my day, to no
avail yet...

For the changes, there are many, read the changelog below. Now quite a few
people have been asking me why we not move on to 0.4, but the roadmap states
that we need a servermodule (logo hasn't yet been added to background and
bootscreen, anyone up for some gimping?). As I always follow my own guidelines
*cough* i guess we can try to get this done before the next release, which will
then be 0.4. Then again, reaching 0.3-99 might be fun too

Anyway, have fun and let em bugreports roll on in

(btw, first reports indicate i blew it for Promise-users, fix pending, thinking
about a new way of releasing, starting with 0.4...)

changelog:

16-05-2003 (version 0.3-6)
base:
- partitionscanning fixed
- new kernel, 2.4.21-rc2-xfs (patch seems to think it's rc1
though), incl. prism2 lkm
- cardmgr executed in main
- fixed DNS bug (resolv.conf wasn't copied correctly)
- boot.img is now 1440kb, smaller kernel. Removed number of
framebuffer options, ext3 has been compiled in.
all mainmods:
- installer now can install to multiple partitions, install bug fixed
- a slight chance booting from scsi partitions works...
- new Xcursor + config tool in gtkxrandr, might cause some flaming
but i think it's purty :)
- XF86Config-4 modifying in gtkxrandr
- new Gaim
- added Vera fonts
- updated to latest sid (May 15)
- added hsync-bootoption

light:
- xfce4 instead of icwm, large number of interface changes
- new gtk2 theme
heavy:
- new gtk2 theme
kde & game:
- besides the above not a whole lot of changes, game still uses
icewm for now

And like usual all the stuff i forgot and are gonna cause a load
of bugreports


Cheers,
Alex
