We just released Grml 2012.05 - Ponyhof.

Thanks for all the feedback we received for our 2011.12 release, we took it serious and hope that everyone finds 2012.05 such a wonderful release as we consider it to be.

There were some changes between 2012.05-rc1 and the new stable release. The most important ones are:

• Update to Kernel 3.3.7
• Added sysstat (and imvirt-helper was pulled in as dependency)
• Fixed Grub2, iPXE and MirOS bsd4grml boot options for 64bit ISO
• Added wallpaper
• Fixed lang boot option for grml-small flavour

As you might notice the grml-small flavour came back. So it's two flavours (grml-full + grml-small) and two architectures (x86 + amd64) now. The grml96 option - which provides the x86 and the amd64 version on one single ISO (grml96 = grml32 + grml64) - is available for your service as well.

We want to thank all the people involved in this magnificent and awesome release. The Grml Developers, our Contributors and all the other people involved in this release.

More information is available in the release notes of Grml 2012.05. Now download the latest Grml ISO and spread the word!

We are proud to announce the first release candidate of the upcoming version 2012.05, code-named 'Ponyhof'!

For detailed information about the changes between 2011.12 and 2012.05 have a look at the official release announcement.

Several tools that have been reported to be missing on the downsized 2011.12 release have been re-added. This release also brings the grml-small flavour back to life.

Please test the ISOs and everything you usually use 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.
