[opensuse-factory] Your thoughts on major features.
Heya all, The GM is not ready yet so I'll wait a bit with sending out stuff to the press. That means there's still time to fix/add to the Product Highlights. They are now on the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights I would LOVE feedback on what our major features are in the openSUSE 12.1 release. Right now, I claim it is: 1.1 Latest Free Desktops introduce color management, GNOME Shell and more 1.1.1 KDE introduces Oyranos, Apper and Plasma Active 1.1.2 GNOME Shell - improved and refined 1.1.3 The other desktops 1.2 openSUSE offers latest web and cloud technologies 1.2.1 Web surfing and serving (mentions Chromium 16, Firefox, WebYaST and Horde 4) 1.2.2 Supporting Cloud technologies (talks about EC2 support, Xen/KVM/VB and the repo with Eucalyptus, OpenNebula and OpenStack) 1.3 Improved distribution technology 1.3.1 Snapper rolls back changes 1.3.2 systemd boots your system 1.3.3 Write in go, compile with Clang or GCC Please, if I missed things or talked something up which is not big, let me know. If you have something you'd like to talk up, try to explain why we're "best, first or only" (etcetera, see http://ietherpad.com/2jE5Z40A3A) and please help us write about the feature in the http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights Thanks, Jos

Thanks, Jos I was using the RC2, and didn't see Clementine on there, but its mentioned. Need to confirm if its in the DVD or not... and whether it was just goofed. May want to play up the new C++11 standard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It is there, see http://en.opensuse.org/12.1_Package_list feel free to improve the section on C++11. Be sure to be factual, I did check the GCC page and if I recall correctly it's not 100% supported yet by our tools. It ain't a major feature, at least, it's not that we're first, that it's hugely user visible or that we're unique in it. Cheers, Jos

Cheers, Jos Any reason why itk-devel isn't included? It's needed to build simgear which is needed to build Flightgear. Regards Sid.

Jos, I told you earlier that 12.1 does not include Plasma Active because it currently requires experimental patches to the KDE base packages. Will -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

How can I access the previous versions at ietherpad? I tries to look at previous revisions but the browser tried to open them in a separate wintow, without success. And now it seems to be completely down. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I think that LibreOffice deserve a bit more space :-) I have slightly updated the section about LibreOffice. It is pending the review. The old text was: --- cut --- The latest [http://libreoffice.org '''Libreoffice'''] release brings a large number of small additions and improvements like the ability to add and remove color charts, a named range as data source and supporting an unlimited number of fields in the DataPilot (now named Pivot Table), Greek Character mode for numbering in Writer and much more. As usual, much performance work was done decreasing the size of LibreOffice and improving startup speed. Text rendering and theming have received a major overhaul, making LibreOffice fitting better in your desktop. --- cut --- The new text is: --- cut --- The latest [http://libreoffice.org '''Libreoffice'''] release brings a large number of additions and improvements like the ability to add and remove color charts, a named range as data source and supporting an unlimited number of fields in the DataPilot (now named Pivot Table), autofilter per sheet support, redesigned Move/Copy Sheet dialog, new Find toolbar, Greek Character mode for numbering in Writer, new 3D border types, internationalized font previews, and [http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.4 much more].

For example, there is a massive re-work of external reference handling. It is not that visible but it will makes many things much easier in the future. Also I added few more interesting features and link to the release notes. I hope that I proceed it the right way.
