Hi,
finally a release in-time! Since some scripting around Subversion's
merging stuff making pushing changesets around so much fun here goes
2.0.2 - "wildlife".
Since we now have a SVN:log -> ChangeLog converter, this time with
full ChangeLog again!
Also due always active work on non-x86 ports this time with full boot
CD on Sparc64 (Ultra SPARC) and IBM RS/6000 (RS/6k) support!
As well as the usual updates, fixes and security fixes pulled from the
development tree:
The changes from 83 changesets, include about 37 fixes, 27 updates
and 21 additions.
There will not be official binaries from me this time. I already
scheduled the next release with linux24 2.4.27 in about 2-4 weeks -
binaries will be available for this one.
But a minimal-desktop build for 686 should be available in the "Linux
Intern" magazine next month (available in most German speaking parts
of Europe).
THanks to all the contributors!
<RELEASE NOTE>
Mintenenance release following in the usual OpenSource
release early release often cycle:
Security and non-intrusive version updates.
