Veranderingen voor v4.11 RC 1 - v4.11 RC 2

  • For this rc I've added a syslinux version as requested.



Veranderingen voor v4.4.10 - v4.11 RC 1

  • The changes in this release are a step toward making DSL a friendly alternative for older hardware. I've fixed some bugs, updated some applications, and replaced others.
  • Applications:
  • Updated JWM to v2.1.0 (now supports rounding)
  • Updated Dillo to 3.0.2 (much improves CSS support)
  • Added xChat 1.8.9 (the last version that supported gtk1.2)

  • Added menu items to switch between DFM & xtdesk icon engines or use none at all.
  • Added JWM menu to display or not display icons in menu.

  • Added option to load the default background to native themes while allowing wallpaper.lua to override.
  • Coordinated default JWM & Fluxbox themes; they have the same color scheme and mood.
