Recent releases


Changes: All software versions were updated and many new software packages were added. Melas 0.12 is now used, providing a new and much more powerful build system with fast dependency resolution, no more Makefiles, and staged builds that provide precise dependency resolution. A new directory layout and organization is used in the source tree. The .mls files were simplified (less rules are required) due to auto-detection enhancements in Melas. MIPS, ARM, and x86 architectures are supported. Many bugs were fixed everywhere.


Changes: This release is delivered in desktop, server and handheld editions for Intel x86 and ARM architectures. The usability, feel and functionality of the system have all greatly improved from previous versions, and numerous applications and software components have been added.


Changes: Initial support was added for the FIC NEO1973 OpenMoko phone with fully functioning and installable images, together with a fully compilable array of packages for the armv4t architecture used by the device.


Changes: The installer backend was rewritten. Real username, full name, and unique password query are supported in the installer. The Ige package manager was updated, and now has automatic dependency resolution. The build dependency structure was simplified. Proper file attribute handling and special file packaging are done through the use of Melas 0.10.0 and fakeroot. General improvements were made to the desktop UI.


Changes: No notable features were added, though the build system has been enhanced with better, more flexible configuration, and (experimental) support for PowerPC builds has been added. This is a source-only release.
