For detailed information about the changes between 2014.11 and 2017.05(-rc1) have a look at the official release announcement.

Please test the ISOs and everything you usually use and rely on, and report back, so we can complete the stable release soon. If no major problems come up, the next iteration will be the stable release, which is scheduled for end of May (2017 :)).

A new stable release of Grml is long overdue and sadly we didn't manage to release a new stable release in 2016 either.

We don't want to promise anything we can't hold, but we should have (at least) an RC version available within Q1/2017.

There was a "broken" grml96-full ISO on our mirrors for a few hours. All our checksum files as well as the signature files are OK, just the file grml96-full_2013.02.iso has a few different bits, resulting in a file which doesn't correspond to the expected checksum. Note: the broken ISO doesn't do any harm (it even boots) but you should still grab the correct one.

We've updated the grml96-full_2013.02.iso file but it might take a few hours until it's propagated to all our mirrors. To check whether you're affected execute 'md5sum -c grml96-full_2013.02.iso.md5' or 'sha1sum -c grml96-full_2013.02.iso.sha1'.

The broken file is:

% md5sum grml96-full_2013.02.iso
b2ae41161908751c4ba6ac4db0855a70  grml96-full_2013.02.iso
% sha1sum grml96-full_2013.02.iso
f61a87223ca02482f7f7e8d674c444c40ca91b3a  grml96-full_2013.02.iso

The known-to-be-good file should return:

% md5sum grml96-full_2013.02.iso
ceaec04b29f9263e384a54cda8c3bab0  grml96-full_2013.02.iso
% sha1sum grml96-full_2013.02.iso
c95df860f1c08cd7e82ddeac4918bb29cb3f0b7d  grml96-full_2013.02.iso

Sorry for the annoyance. Thanks to zeldor for bringing this issue to our attention.
