June 13th, 2009· Hibernation: Big rewrite of the hibernation support in Elive, with many extras such as cleanup of old hibernated partitions, live mode detection and warning requesting if the user wants to continue with losing the hibernated state
Installer: Lots of bugfixes and features in the installer:
· A special feature to reinstall your favorite packages at every reinstall (upgrade mode) without the need to do it yourself manually
· Some packages are not wanted by the end-user like cups, ssh, or hibernation... the user can select them in order to remove them from its installed system, this will also boost a bit the boot and also made the system more light
· same IP configuration for your network like in your installed system (for the live mode too)
· saved the extra entry's of your /etc/hosts file into your upgraded Elive system
· ssh Host Key saved after you upgrade your Elive system
· Better management of the Swap partitions
· Boot: Fixed broken messages (dialog boxes) in the boot of the live mode
· Webcam: A simple webcam viewer is added on your Video menu of applications
· Intel Graphic cards: Improved 3d acceleration
· Compiz: The cube effect works again (but not enabled by default, since the other one is much more stable)
VirtualBox:
· Guest tools installed and configured by default. This means that you can boot Elive within VirtualBox with improvements for mouse and screen
· Using: If you install VirtualBox in your Elive system (not a default application), it will work without the need to do any trick by loading modules or adding your users to a special group
· Kernel version: 2.6.26.8-elive-686 (revision 40)
May 15th, 2009· Module: Now instead of configuring compiz from ecsm you can do it from a module
· Cube: The cube is disabled by default now due to its instability compared with the wall mode
· Switcher: Not that the switcher (windows switcher) of compiz is ugly, but its a bit annoying while the default switcher of E17 is a lot more powerful, configurable, and stable, so we use it as default now (it is still accessed by pressing the 'win' key plus the Tab key)
· Note:: Remember that these are the default configurations. You can change them to your taste!
