Release Candidate Progress

The progress with the release candidate is moving along nicely, several new packages have "made the cut" as well as some configuration changes and under the hood tweaks.

Changes so far include

  • OU812 has kindly contributed an improved shutdown script, which has been added with earnest.
  • The ISOLINUX menu for the Live CD has gone, and has been replaced with a much nice graphical grub screen
  • The old default music player, Gejengel, has gone and has been replace by Listen, the default music player in Xubuntu
  • A PDF Viewer and paint application have been added
  • The kernel error in previous releases has been fixed (I hope!)

There are still more changes to be made before I'm entirely happy with this release. I won't be adding a usplash until RC2 (which will be more or less a few days after RC1) and once people have tested the updated version, I will go on the make the final release.

A few packages have been updated as well, although more will be updated within the next few days..
