Users of openmamba milestone2 will get an upgrade to the fourth pre-release

with the following main new features:

- "longterm" 2.6.35.11 kernel

- KDE desktop environment 4.5.5

- network connections management is now based on NetworkManager in order to

provide an integrated and simple solution for ethernet, wireless, mobile

broadband, ADSL (PPPoE) and more

- 400+ software components updated

- initial support for the "light" LXDE desktop environment, suitable for

computers with limited CPU and memory resources

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- upon upgrade completion the system must be rebooted

- network settings like password for Wireless connection, static IP and DNS

and any other custom settings have to be reconfigured with the new interface

- in order to decrease the risk of an upgrade failure due to the new kernel it

is now possible to start the system using the previous kernel (2.6.33),

available as a choice in the boot menu

- in order to use the LXDE environment the "lxde" package must be installed,

then logout from KDE and login again after selecting "lxde" session type

Within a few days live installation media will be available and the official

release will be published.

Wishing you a pleasant upgrade,

Silvan
