This is the Legacy (32 bit) alpha release for our upcoming Bodhi 5.1 release.

A few things to note:

• Please report all issues and inadequacies with these beta releases.

• Alpha releases are for testing purposes only and may not be suitable for production environments. They should be but they have currently only been tested by a few users.

• I only have a 32 bit alpha release at the moment. I am not going to make any 64 bit alpha releases but instead make 64 bit Release Candidate (rc) releases. This is because there have been no major issues reported.

• The kernel is still at version 4.9.0-6-686, a debian non-pae kernel. I saw no good reason to change it and it is difficult to find non-pae kernels.

• There have been many changes and bug fixes in Moksha. As well as Better support for the Dutch and Spanish languages. Thanks to the much appreciated work of Alejandro Díaz and Pjotr.

• EFL has been updated to version 1.22.6.

• The release will feature Štefan “the waiter” Uram's new work on the MokshaArcGreen theme and naturally that theme will be the theme used by default. This theme includes both a gtk theme and matching icons.

• The installer, Ubiquity, now supports multiple languages but for the moment we only have translation for Dutch, Spanish, French, Catalina, Hebrew and Slovakian. Multilingual users can be of great help here by volunteering to translate other languages. Contact Štefan or me if you wish to help.

• eepdater has been removed due to too much confusion over how to use it. The program needs work, some of it difficult such as embedding a real terminal or writing code for an EFL terminal to include with it. I, frankly, lack the time to implement and test all that right now. As no one else has taken over this task, I am not going to include it.

• ePad has been replaced with leafpad due to what I consider bugs with the EFL focus manager causing strange scrolling issues as well as due to a lack of basic functionality such as a print dialog.

• Synaptic package manager has been added and gDebi removed. gDebi can be installed if the user needs it.

• The default browser is now Epiphany and not Midori. Epiphany is more functional but still relatively lightweight.

• Known Issues:

  • The ISO size is rather larger than past releases and larger than I prefer.

  • The default screen size of epiphany on first launch is not optimal for a ISO running in a virtual machine.

  • The icon for Bodhibuilder is missing or installed in the wrong location. Minor issue.

  • There is a folder in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages I forgot to remove. Also a minor issue.

Please consider donating time or money. We are a small Distro and always need help.
