[Thinstation-announce] Thinstation 2.2rc3

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

Hi All,

Rc3 is out.  This release wasn't so much effected by a feature freeze, must have been a slightly 
warmer day ;o)  So some new features.  Major change is you no longer need to be root to build or 
untar the distro.

There is also the addition of a 2x client package, open vpn package by Nikolai V. Ivanyushin, some 
card reader packages by Thomas Karlsson.  Lastly the www telnet package seems fixed.

Ok, the ice age has begun, no new packages will be going into 2.2.... honest.  The next release rc4 
will be the final release for the rc series, after this 2.2 is final.

Please test and be merry, report bugs - and fixes are good too ;o)

Cheers

Miles
