Hello, I'm currently rebuilding and uploading dailybuilds [1] to let you test the new features of the future 2.0 as well as evaluate the remaining translation effort to reach a good translation status for the final release. The dailybuilds are numbered 2013-03-1x depending on the build day.
[1] http://download.doudoulinux.org/dailybuild/ The main new feature of these dailybuilds is the wide update of our LiveUSB write tool. Since we will not build USB images anymore, the process of making a LiveUSB device, explained on our blog [2], has deeply changed. So I've updated our DDL tool to make it manage ISO files with Grub2 on an USB device. This new version provides the following new features: * creates a LiveUSB device on a standard USB device, no reformatting is achieved, the device can be used as usual afterwards, you can use your 8GB USB key without a second thought ;) * can dump the running LiveCD onto the USB device, which means no need to provide the ISO file, just launch DDL live! * can have several ISO files on the same USB device, a boot menu is created * provides a script to update the Grub configuration when the ISO file(s) has(have) changed on the USB device, which means updating the system is nearly a simple ISO file copy * detects any ISO file in user's home (first and second level directories only) if the LiveCD is not detected as being running * the ISO file of a running LiveUSB device is detected as well (you can then make a LiveUSB device directly from a running LiveCD or a running LiveUSB) I invite you to intensively test this new tool. I recall that there is *no* progress dialog while copying the ISO file onto the USB device. You have to be patient and wait for the final dialog telling it's done.

Its algorithm to help the user guess whether the computer internal clock is running UTC or local time has been fixed and should now really work. Finally all the translations have been updated from Transifex a week ago and the issues that were preventing these updates to be visible in DDL have been solved. The PDF documentation should be back on the CD too. NB: there is currently a known issue with the installer. It removes the DDL package that translates the main activity menu. This menu is then in English. It's been fixed but may not be in the dailybuilds yet. If you want to help develop the 2.0 Hyperborea, I recall that there are many open tickets on Redmine [3][4] waiting for someone to do the job. I did some ticket cleaning today and I still have to create tickets concerning the documentation update on our website.
