Sunday, March 25. 2007new develrelease: grml 0.9-6After uploading grml64 I also uploaded a new develrelease of grml (the 32bit version ;-)) for beta-testers and developers. So, what's new? Read yourself:
This release is a very special one for me. There are many updates,
fixes, addons - I could remove most of the release-stoppers
(http://bts.grml.org/release-stoppers). From my POV we are pretty
close to grml 1.0-rc1 now. But due to several updates it needs heavy
testing of course. So if you want to help us please test this
release and report *anything* you find and think should be fixed for
grml 1.0!
Main changelog:
===============
* update of kernel 2.6.20-grml, now based on 2.6.20.3
You're missing a feature/module/...? Report!
* grml-terminalserver: big improvements like better module loading
and switch to atftpd (thanks gebi) - give it a try!
* grml2hd: added grml-setservices (interface for basic
configuration of system startup/shutdown via
/etc/runlevel.conf), improved grub code, some minor stuff...
* added bootoption 'qemu', currently it does nothing else than
copying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.example to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you
have further ideas please inform me)
* grml-autoconfig: dropped userspace/powernowd stuff in
cpufrequeny scaling in favour of the ondemand-governor. If you
notice any problems with powermanagement on your laptop please
let me know.
* news from grml-scripts:
- added dirvish-setup: a simple script for setting up a basic
configuration for backup software dirvish.
- grml-setlang: do not set $TZ anymore, we want to handle it via
/etc/timezone instead of /etc/default/locale; notice: the
timezone configuration has been documented detailed at
http://grml.org/faq/#timezone and within 'grml-tips timezone'
Questions? Problems? Report!
- integrated grml-quickconfig within zsh-login. grml-quickconfig
has been contributed by Michael Schierl - thanks! [Needs some
more tweaking though...]
- added iso-term (wrapper script to run x-terminal-emulator in
iso885915 mode).
- added alignmargins (adjust the margins and the position of the
printed contents on the paper)
* /etc/zsh/zshrc: added aliases for better iso<->utf handling
(term2iso, term2utf, utf2iso, iso2utf), big update of swspeak
alias, added function ytdl (download video from youtube), and
tons of other fixes, updates, additions...
