[opensuse-factory] Milestone 4 Announcement Review
I'd like to see Milestone 4 announced tomorrow and have drafted the following announcement. Please review it and send me suggestions on improving the text. If you want to rewrite it completely, I'm fine as well ;) I'd like to see from packagers a few more details on the major packaging changes, enhancements are welcome. Thanks, Andreas [Graphic: Geeko at work from MIlestone3] The fourth of seven scheduled milestone releases for 11.3 was completed and released on schedule. Milestone 4 focuses on switching to upstart as init daemon. Here's what you may find interesting in the new release: * OpenOffice.Org has been updated to 3.2.1 Beta1 * NetworkManager was updated to version 0.8 * cups has been updated to version 1.4.2 * The conntrack - network filtering system has been added * The mono stack has been updated to version 2.6.3 * Python was updated to version 2.6.5 RC 2 * samba was updated to version 3.5.1 * The Moblin team has started with the integration of the Moblin UI into the distribution and plan to have everything ready for the next milestone Gnome/GTK desktop users: * GNOME has been updated to the GNOME 2.30 release candidate (2.39.92) KDE desktop users: * KDE has been updated to version 4.4.1. * Amarok is now at version 2.3. * k3b is updated to version 1.91. Testing! Testing! Testing! As this is a milestone release, 11.3 milestone 4 does contain bugs that we know about, but should not stand between courageous contributors and release testing. You can track the most annoying bugs on the wiki along with 11.3 development. If you want to make sure 11.3 final is free of annoying bugs, we’ll need your help finding, reporting, and fixing those hidden bugs. To learn more about testing openSUSE, visit the Testing pages on the openSUSE wiki. To follow the testing and development process, we suggest that you subscribe to the openSUSE-Factory mailing list (Subscribe | Help | Archives) and join the #openSUSE-Factory channel on Freenode to discuss openSUSE development. The next openSUSE Milestone is scheduled to be released on Thursday, March the 25th, with additional new features and bug fixes. Get Milestone 4 Today! What are you waiting for?
