[DNG] Devuan Beowulf 3.0.0 released.

2020-06-02 Thread Mark Hindley 
Dear Friends and Software Freedom Lovers,

   Devuan Developers are delighted to announce the release of Devuan Beowulf
   3.0.0 as the project's new stable release. This is the result of many months
   of painstaking work by the Team and detailed testing by the wider Devuan
   community.

What's new in Beowulf 3.0.0?

 * Based on Debian Buster (10.4) with Linux kernel 4.19.
 * Support for ppc64el in addition to the existing i386, amd64, armel,
   armhf and arm64 architectures.
 * runit optional alternative /sbin/init.
 * openrc optional alternative to sysv-rc service and runlevel
   control.
 * Standalone daemons (eudev, elogind) to replace aspects of
   monolithic systemd.
 * New boot, display manager and desktop themimg.

Installation and Documentation

   or installing from scratch, instructions and guidance can be found at

There were a couple more betas. I guess we failed to mention that on this
list. Most of the activity was in the forum, irc and bug reports.

I think we squashed all the bugs. Guess we'll find out.
