| SW: OpenOffice.org 2.4.0 beta 2 available |
2008-05-05
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Joachim Benjamins
Serenity Systems International and Mensys BV are pleased to announce the
second public beta of OpenOffice.org 2.4 for eComStation and OS/2.
It is available to anyone with a current OpenOffice.org Support Agreement
for eComStation and OS/2, via their download-area at the Mensys Online
Shop. http://www.mensys.net/login/
This release is the sixth publicly available version of this office suite.
** Features **
Support for XWP/eWPS sliding menu hilite (requires XWorkPlace 1.0.8 or eCS
2.0 RC4)
Support for clipboard bitmap formats and unicode text.
Support for mouse wheel.
Support for WPS integration via seperate package (OOoWPS101.WPI)
FT2: this release supports the FreeType2 font engine for better text rendering.
NLS: this beta release only contains english currently
A more complete list of changes in this version of OpenOffice.org 2.4.0 can
be found at: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.4.0.html
** Requirements **
- UniClip is required to complete installation.
- LibC 0.6.3 is required to complete installation.
- Innotek Font Engine is required to run OpenOffice.org 2.4 for
eComStation and OS/2.
- this installation will not overwrite existing installations, you can
use it alongside OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 and OpenOffice.org 2.0.4
- installation should preferably be done on a JFS volume, as it may
run slow otherwise. The installation target volume must support long
filenames.
- installation takes around 400 MB of drivespace.
- this build is based on the 2.4.0 m12 sourcecode of OpenOffice.org.
- For better rendering of the GUI font, it is suggested to install
Workplace Sans TrueType font. This will also visualize the numbering for
the vertical ruler, since the default font, WarpSans, cannot be rotated.
You can download the Workplace Sans font from the following website:
http://users.socis.ca/~ataylo00/creative/fonts/index.html
WPS integration package for OpenOffice.org 2.0 for eComStation and OS/2:
- Extends the WPS data file class to recognize OpenOffice.org document files
- Integrated support for WPS-Wizard hint and folder info area
- Rexx hooks for reading document properties
[To enable this package for OpenOffice.org 2.4b2, you need to install
the OOoWPS101.WPI package (if not already installed) and run
?:\OpenOffice.2.4\program\ooodoc.cmd
This script will activate the WPS integration for this release of
OpenOffice.org 2.4b2 and remove it from 2.0.4.]
** Support **
Support specific to the eComStation and OS/2 version can be obtained
through the ticketing system at: http://www.ecomstation.com/support/ooo2/
A newsgroup is available for community support at:

| SW: FAT32 0.9.12 fix1 |
2008-05-05
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: David Graser
The FAT32 driver has been updated to 0.9.12 fix 1 and can be downloaded
from Netlabs.
ftp://www.ftp.netlabs.org/pub/fat32/
fat32_09121.zip
fat32_09121.wpi
This version fixes the problem that a program trying to READ/WRITE from/to
memory object with OBJ_ANY attribute crashes.
The WPI version does install Lazywrite. If writing to removable drives is
slow, either rem the CACHEF32 statement in the config.sys or add the
following option to the CACHEF32 statement:
/L:OFF
Set lazy writing OFF

This is a public Release Candidate for Subversion 1.5.0. Due to
changes made since the previous release candidate (rc4), this release
restarts the soak period for 1.5.0-final. (See
http://subversion.tigris.org/hacking.html#release-stabilization for
details about soak periods and the release process.)
The term 'release candidate' means the Subversion developers feel that
this release is stable and ready for production use, so we encourage
people to test this release thoroughly.
As a note to operating system distro packagers: while we wish to have
this release candidate widely tested, we do not feel that it is ready
for packaging and providing to end-users through a distro package
system. Packaging a release candidate poses many problems, the
biggest being that our policy lets us break compatibility between the
release candidate and the final release, if we find something serious
enough. Having many users depending on a release candidate through
their distro would cause no end of pain and frustration that we do not
want to have to deal with. However, if your distro has a branch that
is clearly labeled as containing experimental and often broken
software, and explicitly destined to consenting developers and
integrators only, then we're okay with packaging the release candidate
there. Just don't let it near the end users please.
Please note that due to various improvements made to the working copy
library, the working copy format has changed. Using Subversion 1.5.0-alpha2
on any working copy created by previous versions of Subversion will
TRANSPARENTLY upgrade your working copy, which means that production-ready
versions of Subversion will no longer be able to read it! Please be careful,
if you have two versions of Subversion running on your machine, to not use
the wrong version on a production working copy. If you inadvertently do
upgrade your working copy, you can use the new
tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py script to restore working copy
compatibility with previous versions of Subversion.
Release notes for the 1.5.x release series may be found at:
