Donald Cupp Jr has been busy and has ironed out kinks and polishing the beautiful vehicle Thinstation, and he proudly presents Thinstation-5.1. As usual you get it from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/thinstation/files/thinstation/thinstation-5/ or from git. |

Thinstation 5.0 has been released. After about a year of development Thinstation 5.0 - the successor to Thinstation 2.2.2 - has been released today. During its development program Thinstation 5.0 has been known as version 2.5, but as the entire code base is new, the developers wanted to part from the 2.x series branding. So we decided to stick to the the "5" in "2.5" and here is version 5.0. Thinstation 5.0 is based on Crux Linux 2.7 code, but the user front end is very much the same as previously, i.e. it still uses build.conf and thinstation.conf*. There are of course some new things to learn (2.2.x is more than five years old) but the soul and spirit is all the same. However, this is new times and there are new requirements: A simple build requires 64 MB RAM and an i686 class processor is required. This is 16 year old technology, any CPU post 2003 works and almost any post 1996 does. For package developers Thinstation 5.0 is great news. It is so easy now to add own packages or modify existing ones thanks to the standardized Crux code base. The number of packages updated are *way* to extensive to mention, but on most bases we have 2011/2012 versions of everything, including Linux kernel 3.2.2 and xorg7. So, have fun and enjoy Thinstation 5.0. Download Thinstation 5.0 from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/thinstation/files/thinstation/thinstation-5/ TS-O-Matic service and LiveCDs are expected shortly. The Thinstation crew. |

The TS-2.2.2 series has served us well since late 2008 and now it is time for the final minor revision, TS-2.2.2i. The future belongs to TS-2.5 which is well into its RC-series by now. >From ChangeLog-2.2.2i: *** * Updated version number (Mike) * Updated ids files (Mike) * Updated rdesktop to 1.7.1 (Mike) * Updated ThinLinc to 3.3.0 (Mike) * Updated e1000e NIC driver to ver. 1.5.1 (Michael . List AT kliniken-sob de) * Added control of Ctrl-Alt-Del logon menu in ICA (jchevrier AT city kawarthalakes on ca) * Fixed a type in setting approximate colors in ICA (jchevrier AT city kawarthalakes on ca) * Updated Firefox to ver. 3.6.x or 6.0.x. The actual version is set by the download URL (Mike) * Fixed bug making USB_ENABLE not working (Trevor) *** Available as usual from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/thinstation/files/thinstation/thinstation-2.2/Thinstation-2.2.2i.tar.bz2/download At least the Danish TS-O-Matic will have it up later today or tomorrow. Other TS-O-Matics will probably follow soon. Have fun and remember to play with TS-2.5RC2 already now!

There are still a few more packages that need to be integrated before we start with the release candidates, but I think we are really really close now. Didn't I just say that a few months ago? |

Hi all. official rdesktop 1.6.0 contribution for Thinstation 2.2.x is now up on Sourceforge. It includes the binaries for rdesktop 1.6.0 AND 1.5.0. If for any reason you can't use 1.6.0, you can change the packages/rdesktop/bin/rdesktop symlink to point at the rdesktop-1.5.0 binary (in the same directory). This is the same package as will be included in Thinstation-2.2.2. Enjoy -- Trevor Batley Thinstation Developer http://thinstation.org |

Hi all, we have added a new Firefox installer package in the thinstation contribs download area at sourceforge. Please remove your old firefox package before installing this. This package will install firefox from the standard firefox package. You can either download your own copy locally and change your firefoxurl param, or install from the thinstation.org site which is the default setting (we have 2.0.0.12 sitting on thinstation.org). The package is called firefox_TS-2.x.tar.gz Enjoy Trevor B |

Hi all, I left one thing undone in Thinstation 2.2.1 (Production). It still says 2.2.1rc4 on your replimenu etc...... I am uploading a new version with that change. If you have already downloaded, don't worry it is an easy fix. Just edit packages/base/etc/thinstation.env and change the TS_VERION value on line 8 to 2.2.1 Sorry for the inconvenience. Trevor B |

Hi all, Thinstation 2.2.1rc4 is finally making it's way up onto sourceforge. As below the real changes are just to the usb hotplug (hopefully it will handle more usb sticks correctly) and the removal of the superfluous Mouse2 (which doubled the mouse inputs, causing havoc with certain mice). Please note that there is one new USB parameter available: USB_MOUNT_OPTIONS will let you add some mount options for your usb devices (eg. utf8 or shortname=win95 or anything else you can find in man mount that applies to your devices). Please test & send your feedback to the Developers list. We would like to try and make 2.2.1 Production very soon. Enjoy Trevor B ChangeLog: Thinstation 2.2.1rc4 Released By: Trevor Batley - tre...@us... Release Date: 13th December 2007 * Changed Version Number * Changed usb hotplug to using specific filesystem type if found (Nikolai, Sander & Daniel) * Removed superfluous Mouse2 in XOrg settings to stop duplicating actions (Antti Andriemann - an...@us...) * Changed nx install (and remove) to cater for newer versions (Trevor B) * Changed default date package to rdate in build.conf.example to match previous behaviour (Trevor B) * Removed module libata line from build.conf.example (Trevor B) * Fix to lpr init where ica printer name being incorrectly over-written (Sander - sva...@xi...) * Fix to supermount statement in usb.sh (Trevor B) |

ChangeLog for 2.2.1rc2 Thinstation 2.2.1rc2(Many Authors & Contributors) Release Date: 20/8/07 * Changed Version Number * Moved rdate out of base and created it's own package * Added ntp (ntpdate) - from Bas Alblas <bas dot alblas at hudson dot com> * Fix for SCREEN_VERTREFRESH & SCREEN HORIZSYNC - from Vladimir Doykin <vp...@rb...> * Fix for x bug where wrong extension checked - from Vladimir Doykin <vp...@rb...> * Allow entry of Monitor Options & Modeline in x - Trevor B * Update nx to handle nx 1.x, 2.x, 3.x and various other fixes - Trevor B Have fun Trevor B |

Hi All,
As below. Better late than never.
Notes of interest, sessions are no longer running as root.
Check out new www interface.

Files are uploading now, so may not be ready until tomorrow morning.
Source will follow in a few days.
Cheers
Miles

Patrick Rock has kindly contributed the elinks text web browser ver. 0.11 for both TS 2.1.3 and 2.2. That's a handy utility! A couple of days ago I (Mike) contributed conky 1.4.4. for TS 2.2. Conky is a system and resource monitor that requires a WM. Get the packages on the Thinstation download page at SF as usually. Thanks Patrick!
