[Thinstation-announce] Thinstation 2.2rc1

[Miles R. <mr...@xt...>]

Hi All,

As promised TS 2.2rc1.  Its been a while coming.  I'm not planning to add any new features into 2.2. 
  Just bug fixes.  I suspect there is a few bugs in this release but please test and report so we 
can get this stable and go 2.2 final.

Major change with this release is TS is now using squashfs and unionfs.  This change will introduce 
new bugs but make things much more stable in medium/long term.

Note I'm uploading source tonight, but this will take a day or so to complete.

Thanks

Miles
