-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
= New stuff =
* win32-loader has been added to daily CD images and is now used for
autorun too;
* multipath-udeb and libaio1-udeb have been introduced but are being
excluded from CD builds since they're not being used yet;
* dhcp-client-udeb has been excluded from CD images since
dhcp3-client-udeb migration is over;
* weekly CD/DVD builds have been enabled again (using sid d-i, by
now).
* netinst images were huge due to debian-cd including dependencies of
excluded packages (#410418).
* cdebconf has received a lot of code refactoring, plugin system had
deeply changes and gtk frontend has been rewritten.
* cdebconf-entropy has been updated to use the new plugin system;
* mklibs has fixed our building errors due a lack of symbols;
= Resolved breakage in daily builds =
* newt had issues with time changing (#436497) but a workaround is
implemented in clock-setup when updating time during installation
(#436340);
* g{++,cc}-multilib priority is now lower than standard (#424924).
= General issues =
* Chinese (and Japanese/Korean) texts issue in slang2 (#425835) is
still there;
* klibc doesn't build on sparc (#440721)
= Kernel status =
* All architectures has moved to 2.6.22 except m68k;
* linux-modules-di-m68k-2.6 isn't uploaded due the lack of loop-aes
and squashfs since linux-headers lack modules.lds files (#402061).
= Blockers for final release =
* Regressions in cleaning old LVM partitions (#425829);
* sparc kernel seems to produces unkillable processes (#433187).
* linux-libc-dev has type declaration conflict (#434040, #435700)
('''ignored for beta1 since a workaround is used''')
* m68k has floppy flavours disabled due a full-disk. ('''ignored
since m68k isn't a release-set arch''')
