* In order to support running 32-bit chroots on 64-bit systems, a "personality" option has been added. This may be set to "linux32" to run a 32-bit Linux chroot on an amd64 system, for example.
* dchroot has an additional personality field in dchroot.conf. This may also be set to linux32 to achieve the same effect as the personality setting in schroot.conf.
* The root user can access all chroots, even when the root group is omitted from the groups or root_groups lists. Authentication is still required, but by default is skipped due to using pam_rootok.so in the PAM configuration.
* Session recovery is only performed at system startup, not on upgrades. This prevents upgrades interfering with active sessions.
The Buildd ProjectRoger LeighSun, 25 Jun 2006 7:07:35 GMTSplashy 0.1.8 released
http://alioth.debian.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2352
Release Name: 0.1.8
Notes:
Splashy right now is able to:
* configure splashy via XML files
* themes can be very granular about how to display their images (XML again)
* images in millions of colors
* resolution as high as VESA supports 1280x1024 (and more if other
framebuffer drivers are used)
* supports gif animations
* detects errors and falls back to verbose mode (text printed on a
textbox overlayed on image)
* start very early at boot (from initramfs. experimental)
* text messages can be printed to the screen (for system messages)
* communications via a FIFO (named pipe) as well as signals (limited
to progressbar updates)
* multi-threaded
* very clean C code
* a very NICE init script that doesn't rely on rc/rcS or LSB functions
to do it's job
* and a really good community that constantly submit bug fixes/reports
and keep our IRC channel ready for answering newbies questions
* fade in/out effects
* XML schema for theme.xml files
* Custom fonts for Themes (text printed to screen)
