TinyMe test 5 has been released! If you liked test 4.1, you're going to love test 5. :) I am really excited about this release. A lot of late night hours and hard work have gone into test 5, as I've been pushing to get this test out the door before I leave for school in 10 days. The changes for test 5 are almost too numerous to mention. This will hopefully be our last test release before TinyMe Final. Although a few bugs remain, TinyMe has many notable inprovements, including:
Fixed most open bugs. Only remaining major open bug (in my opinion) is that TinyMe still doesn't auto mount removable media.
I switched to GDM. This allows us greater flexibility with our login manager. Also, it enables Shutdown and Reboot options on logout.
AbiWord was installed, with all the plugins your heart desires. Create and edit ODT, DOC, WPD, and many other formats.
Idesk now handles the desktop instead of PCManFM.
Enabeled LXPanel transparency.
Added Grafburn for burning CDs and DVDs. Thanks to Nathan Fisher of Grafpup for Grafburn.
Created Welcome page. Fire up Opera to see it. (Did I mention Opera handles web browsing, mail, Bittorrent, and IRC chat?)
Conky is a SuperKaramba-like desktop monitoring applet which has been added. GKrellm was fired. :)
Do you like music? Audacious was added. Audacious is a lot like WinAmp and you can use WinAmp themes on it.
MEdit proved to be somewhat buggy. Although I rather liked it, I opted to use SciTE instead. Enjoy.
Changed Mrxvt to the default terminal. Mrxvt is a tabbed terminal, plus it has some pretty cool transparency.
Galculator is a quite small calculator added to test 5.
Xarchiver has been added for its wonderous abilities to open just about any compressed archive, including RPMs and ISOs.
MtPaint was added. MtPaint is a very basic picture editor. You can also use MtPaint to take a screenshot.
XKill has been added and a menu entry created for those balky programs which hang on you.
Tweaked overall look 'n feel some more. Added 2 wallpapers (okay, it's 1 wallpaper; 1 is 4:3, the other 16:10)
And as always, we have Opera, PCC, TightVNC, Synaptic, SearchMonkey, GQview and Aumix for you.
