Hello,

I've just uploaded new dailybuilds to prepare the next official
development release, which will be numbered 2012-10. There are lots of
improvements:

* Translations are now up to date with Transifex, although all the work
to move from Gondwana to next stable release is not totally achieved on
Transifex (but almost). There may still be translations that are *not*
available on Transifex.

* DuckDuckGo is now the default search engine. The language in which
searches are performed is automatically set at CD boot or package
installation. Beware that this also sets the country, which means
searches in French may give results in France even if you're living in
Belgium or Canada. The only way to deal with this issue is to trigger a
script when network goes up to guess the user's country based on its
computer IP address.

* Apps are now launched full screen thanks to Maximus. This avoids small
children get lost in a profusion of windows. We still need to tune
Maximus in order to not maximize small dialog windows.

* Fixed the printing rights issue by removing Policykit in favor of the
old, solid Unix group rights. Tests are needed.

* Several applications have been removed: OpenDict, Gvrng and Little
Wizard. We may also remove Kgeography which is a bit redundant with
Marble, even if this is not the same purpose.

* Improved look and feel of unique-launcher, the application launch
notification.

+ many other fixes!

Their name is following the pattern '*-2012-10-13-*', only CD's are
available. Please first check our ticket database for known issues
before reporting any problem:

Finally, about the development version, I'm a bit late as usual but
still planning to publish it this month. This will make people talk
about us!
