+ <headline>New Fink release.</headline>
+ <body>
+ <p>
+A new Fink release for OS X 10.4 (Tiger) is
+<varlink url="download/index.php">available</varlink>
+ today: version 0.8.1, which can be installed on either Intel or PowerPC
+hardware.
+The release includes source files, binary packages, and Fink
+installers for both kinds of hardware.
+</p>
+ <p>
+Fink on the Intel platform is still considered "beta" quality, and a number of
+packages (particularly packages in the "unstable" tree) either do not compile,
+or compile but do not run. Work to improve this situation is ongoing.
+</p>
+<p>
+Fink users on PowerPC whose existing fink installation uses the
+10.4-transitional tree (from the 0.8.0 distribution) may upgrade in
+one of two ways. The upgrade process is problematic, due to the change
+in ABI of g++ libraries which requires many libraries to be recompiled.
+Many users will simply wish to remove their fink installations and
+start anew with the 0.8.1 installer. Others may wish to use the new

tarball (v. 0.2)</link> (around 12 MB), which includes
+precompiled versions of the basic fink packages as well as a script which
+will attempt to update an existing fink installation.

+Note added 6/19/05: If the Fink-0.8.0 binary installer complains that the
+volume does not support symlinks, try launching Disk Utility (from the
+Utilities folder inside the Applications folder), selecting the
+problematic volume and clicking on "repair disk permissions." Also, the
installer requires you to have administrative privileges, so be sure that
you're running it as such a user.
+</p>
+ <p>Note added 6/30/05: To avoid contamination with obsolete headers and
the like, we recommend that people who want to build packages from source
should perform a clean install of XCode via running the
<code>/Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl</code> script. For best results,
you may want to do this before updating your OS.</p>
