+
+ h3Frugalware 1.3's code-name is announced/h3
+
+ pOn 17 March 2010, VMiklos announced the codename for the next Frugalware
+ release, 1.3 - Haven. For those that don't already know, all code-names are
+ from a series of fictional planets which feature in Isaac Asimov's
+ Foundation series of science fiction novels./p
+
+ pPlans for Haven haven't yet been finalised but as anyone who subscribes
+ to the git commits mailing list will know, there has already been a lot of
+ activity since 1.2 was released. The biggest change so far has been a kernel
+ upgrade to 2.6.33. This kernel introduces the nouveau driver, which is an
+ open source driver for Nvidia graphics chipsets. The implementation of this
+ change has caused issues for some Nvidia users so strongplease/strong
+ read a href=http://frugalware.org/news/165;this message/a from
+ Frugalware developer Hermier before upgrading to the latest kernel./p
+
+ h3New FrugalBuild contributors/h3
+
+ pFrugalware users Adrien Ramos and kikadf recently submitted several
+ FrugalBuilds for new packages. Each of these is either undergoing review or
+ has been accepted. Many thanks to these two and we hope they have a bright
+ future in packaging./p
+
+ h3Forums are back!/h3
+
+ pSeveral weeks ago, the server which hosted the Frugalware forums had a
+ hard drive fail. Unfortunately the hard drive was not part of a RAID array,
+ so the problem could only be solved by replacing the failed drive and
+ restoring the forums' data from backup (which are done regularly). Thanks to
+ VMiklos and any others involved, the forums were back online on 12 March
+ 2010. The server's hard drive configuration has since been upgraded to a RAID
+ array, so the chance of the same problem happening again is very low./p
+
+ h3New screenshots for 1.2/h3
+
+ pFrugalware user bviktor recently submitted some screenshots of Locris'
+ installer and GUI desktop, so that the web site could be current. Frugalware
+ developer Devil505 then added captions and uploaded them to the a href=
+ http://frugalware.org/screenshots;screenshots/a page. Many thanks to
+ bviktor for submitting the screenshots. If you ever find something on the web
+ site which is not current, or is simply wrong, please report it via a
