Site News :: DSL 4.2.2

DSL follows the "release early, release often" - Linus's law.

It's a question of, when anything worth releasing has gathered, why hold it back until a "big" change occurs?

For reasons behind mtpaint, check my thread in Suggestions (Replace xpaint with mtpaint)

I count a lot more bugfixes than what you complained about, samsocal. I don't think the changes between 2.0 and 4.2.2 are trivial. To each his own.

ndiswrapper turn to have problems in aterm with characters ....i think the same that ver 4.1 ....

I have tested and see an issue with 4.x resulting from the change in the initial 4.0RC series.
The binary is now not matching with the corresponding module, resulting in a failure to connect for my usb wireless device.

I am correcting this now. Thanks for bring this to my attention.

after 2 hours of recretional dsl 4.2 i have the next cloncusions...
if i begin by to load gtk7..dsl [hdinstall} .... ndiswrapper is ko[ in aterm} if i begin by ndiswrapper its ok [the fact is that i write the post with ver 4.2 in live cd with ndiswrapper with no load gtk} previous i reload ver 3.4.8 and have the same answer...i am puting i order my mind to finish the year 2007 with firefox 20011 and thunderbird 2009 in uci and in spanish, who need gtk, maybe in the begining of 2008....

and I'd like to see fewer changes like:
"* Updated firefox default preferences to use SansSerif font."

Why not? The reason might not be apparent... (see below)

I'd also like to see more detailed explanation for changes like:
"New mtpaint replaces xpaint."

curaga already pointed out where to find the reason, but typically there are thread(s) about certain changes.

I suppose it could be better if an explicit reason was given for a change though (detailed changelog perhaps?)...
