MEPIS has announced that SimplyMEPIS 8.4.95, the third beta of MEPIS 8.5, is available from MEPIS and public mirrors. The ISO files for 32 and 64 bit processors are SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.4.95-b3_32.iso and SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.4.95-b3_64.iso respectively.SimplyMEPIS 8.x is based on a Debian Stable foundation, but is enhanced with cherry picked updates to important applications. The 8.5 release features a KDE 4.3.4 desktop, while the 8.0 release continues to support KDE 3.5.10.Warren Woodford reported: "This beta includes kernel 2.6.32.2, which we reconfigured slightly, based on user feedback, so kdenlive works with DV cameras. Kipi-plugins were updated to the new 1.0.0 release. And the beginning defaults for dolphin and the desktop were adjusted to be more 'MEPIS-like.' Konq-plugins were added to the build, to give us additional functionality in the KDE browser and file management."Warren continued: "For both 8.5 and 8.0; hwdata, hwinfo, and initramfs-tools were updated to improve hardware support. Thanks to the support of the University of Kent, there is a MEPIS package mirror at mirrorservice.org. The 8.5 and 8.0 apt sources.list was modified to point to it by default. This should improve package update speed for many users."Warren concluded by saying: "The Debian KDE team has provided bug fix updates to kdebase-workspace and kdebase which should make the desktop a bit more stable. The community continues to make improvements to the artwork and they are beginning work on an updated e-users manual." "Although some users are happy with the functionality and stability of 8.5, as-is, we plan to continue making in-line improvements for a while, before declaring 8.5 to be final. Users of 8.5 should keep in mind that it is still a development release, which we could accidentally break. It is not recommended for use in production systems at this time."Progress on SimplyMEPIS development can be followed at http://twitter.com/mepisguy or at http://www.mepis.org OEMs, VARs and SIs interested in MEPIS security, server, workstation or desktop technology should contact sales@mepis.comISO images of MEPIS community releases are published to the 'released' subdirectory at the MEPIS Subscriber's Site and at MEPIS public mirrors.

Morgantown, WV, Jan 4, 2010 -- Warren Woodford has announced that SimplyMEPIS 8.4.96, the beta4 of MEPIS 8.5, is available from MEPIS and public mirrors. The ISO files for 32 and 64 bit processors are SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.4.96-b4_32.iso and SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.4.96-b4_64.iso respectively. Deltas, requested by the community, are also available.Warren said: "Even though the past 2 weeks were a holiday time, we have been busy. In this Beta I did a lot work on the look and feel of the KDE4 desktop. There have been many suggestions and contributions from the community, but in the end, someone had to make some decisions and integrate it all together. This took a lot of time. It isn't final, but I think it's very close."He went on: "Otherwise, Firefox was updated to version 3.5.6-1 and OpenOffice was updated to version 3.1.1-12. The KDE compatibility module for OpenOffice was built for both KDE4 in the 8.5 pool, and KDE3 in the 8.0 pool. Initramfs-tool, grub-gfxboot, and klibc were updated to support booting from the ext4 filesystem, and installation on ext4 is supported in the latest mepis-installer, but for now this support is experimental."Progress on SimplyMEPIS development can be followed at http://twitter.com/mepisguy or at http://www.mepis.org OEMs, VARs and SIs interested in MEPIS security, server, workstation or desktop technology should contact sales@mepis.comISO images of MEPIS community releases are published to the 'released' subdirectory at the MEPIS Subscriber's Site and at MEPIS public mirrors.
