Here is our changelog for the Standard Desktop Edition & Kiosk edition:
Kernel:
- Upgraded to linux-3.12.9
Kernel config:
- Added SCSII and SAS drivers compiled as modules, added l2tp and pktgen support
/boot folder:
- Upgraded to plpbt-5.0.14
Porteus-installer-for-Linux:
- Upgraded to lilo-24.0
Linuxrc:
- Check removable media in first place when searching for .sgn file
- Check booting media in first place when searching for changes
- Fixed a bug when /mnt/live/porteus/* symlinks were not created properly when porteus was booting from the ISO image or over the network
- Updated cleanup script to be 'debug' cheatcode aware
Cheatcodes:
001-core.xzm:
- pxe-server: added support for random IP from private pool when nothing is defined
- Configured logrotate to rotate system logs once they reach 500KB in size
- Updated crontab to run daily jobs at 19:30 and not 4:40 in the morning (this way logs in /var/log directory have bigger chance to get rotated).
- /var/log/btmp and /var/log/wtmp files are handled by /etc/logrotate.d/syslog rules
- Merged 2 patches from neko to deb2xzm and dir2xzm scripts
- Upgraded to: openssl-1.0.1f, sshfs-fuse-2.5
002-xorg.xzm:
- Upgraded to: asunder-2.4, cairo-1.12.16, ffmpeg-2.1.3, libbluray-0.5.0, libdrm-2.4.51, libva-intel-driver-1.2.2. libXfont-1.4.7. mesa-10.0.2. mozilla-nss-3.15.4. x264-20131101. xf86-input-synaptics-1.7.3. xf86-video-ati-7.3.0. xorg-server-1.14.5
- Added: archivemount-0.8.3, libvdpau-va-gl-0.3.2
003-kde.xzm:
- Fixed mounting of ntfs formatted external drivers
- Fixed porteus installer
- Enabled password for the screen locker by default
- Fixed handling of button events in powerdevil
- Upgraded to: gnupg-1.4.16, kio-mtp-0.75_p20131020, MPlayer-r36573, oxygen-gtk-1.4.1, qmmp-0.7.4
003-lxde.xzm:
- added a new udev rule to eliminate error message popups when unmounting loop devices (e.g. when unmounting a module).
- tweaked the Zukitwo-ob theme slightly so the menu bar and window manager bar match in color.
- fixed mimetypes so clicking 'show files' after extracting with filer-roller opens the folder in Thunar instead of audacious (lol)
- /etc/lxdm.conf now points to '/usr/bin/startde' which is a symlink to startlxde or startxfce4, respectively. This fixes a bug where switching between lxde and xfce with saved changes causes you to get stuck at the login screen. Thanks to fanthom for suggesting the fix
- added '7za' from the p7zip package and symlinked 7z to it. This should resolve our problems with file-roller not being able to open or create some file types, as file-roller defaults to 7z for several filetypes if 7z is present; the 7z we have in 001-core is actually a symlink to 7zr which is a stripped standalone binary that is only capable of handling .7z files. '7za' handles more filetypes but still not as many as the full 7z application that is much larger still; if you are still experiencing extract/compress proplems through file-roller please let me know the filetype so I can evaluate our need for the full package, and/or install the full p7zip package to get this functionality.
- patched file-roller so that extracting iso images works with the newer libarchive
- recompiled gvfs to add Samba and http backends (note these backends need extra packages to work). this was compiled against samba-3.6 from Slackware 14.0 as it won't work against Samba-4 from Slackware 14.1 -- it should still work at runtime against samba-4 but please let me know if you run into troubles. http support requires glib-networking, gnutls, gsettings-desktop-schemas, libproxy and libsoup (already in Xfce).
- recompiled audacious-plugins and a newer version of mplayer against the newer ffmpeg
003-mate.xzm:
- fixed symlinks to gnsu
- replaced xcalc to gcalculator
003-razor.xzm:
- fixed mimetype for text files on desktop
- Compiled 64bit from latest git source which fixes razor-panel starting oversized when starting from startx. 32bit would not compile so will leave it for final.
003-xfce.xzm:
- downgraded xfdesktop to 4.10.2 as 4.11.1 introduced a bug that broke updating the wallpaper through the thunar right-click menu
- fixed mimetypes so clicking 'show files' after extracting with filer-roller opens the folder in Thunar instead of audacious (lol)
- /etc/lxdm.conf now points to '/usr/bin/startde' which is a symlink to startlxde or startxfce4, respectively. This fixes a bug where switching between lxde and xfce with saved changes causes you to get stuck at the login screen. Thanks to fanthom for suggesting the fix
