Arguably this release has been cooking for a little longer than necessary. However, like most people I have other jobs that actually pay the bills … Now how many open source projects pull that one out?!

Clearly I’m no exception

Still, as long as the masses keep requesting we’ll keep answering and if we ever get paid to do this the updates will come quicker.

So onto the good stuff, nothing will jump out at you in the release because quite frankly there’s nothing of real significance. The big fix is that Ubuntu Karmic installs should now work and CentOS 5.4 should be recognised. The rest of the updates of which there was about 15 to 20 little fixes, were focussed on internal error checking.

Feedback is always welcomed.

Enjoy!

Not a lot of significant change in this beta release, but a few bugs were squished and that can only be a good thing. Right?!

Most of the work was involved with the spooler where the event caching has been reworked to improve the flexibility in the near future.

I’ll give this release about a two week grace period and depending on the feedback the next release will be a full stable release.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Happy hacking!
