|

| 18 | <p>
|
---|
| 19 | I'm happy to announce the availability of the latest and greatest
|
---|
| 20 | version of mondo 2.0.7 / mindi 1.0.7. Version numbers have changed of
|
---|
| 21 | format to be more in line with what is done generally (x.y.z)
|

|
---|
| 39 | Other distributions will follow asap (should be able to produce soon
|
---|
| 40 | redhat 7.3, fedora core 4, and only after rhel3/4 and sles9) due to the
|
---|
| 41 | change in the virtual machines I have to do (now using qemu + more tools
|
---|
| 42 | to generate RPMs)
|
---|
| 43 | </p>
|
---|
| 44 |
|
---|
| 45 | <p>
|
---|
| 46 | The focus on this version has been more around the new website and
|
---|
| 47 | documentation, and a bit less on code. So some persistant bugs are still
|
---|
| 48 | not corrected (some dvd burning issues and dm/lvm2 support mainly) and
|
---|
| 49 | will be hopefully in 2.0.8.

| 108 | <p>Things are progressing. I've gathered all the packages that were originally on <a href="http://www.mondorescue.org">http://www.mondorescue.org</a> and also added Mike's SuSE RPMs

|

| 143 | I think that it's time to promote our revisions to a newer version, as a
|
---|
| 144 | proof of increased stability, and result of lots of cleanup and
|
---|
| 145 | improvements, even if some small known bugs remain (and other could
|
---|
| 146 | always appear). So here are mindi 1.06 / mondo 2.06 aka Christmas
|
---|
| 147 | Release :-)

[366] | 167 | So more distros supported and built.<br>
|

| 168 | I've used them for a restore of a failed server recently (PXE mode) so
|

| 169 | they should be working correctly for most of the cases (including now
|
---|
| 170 | people not using RPMs)
|
---|
| 171 | </p><p>
|
---|
| 172 | I'll off till begining of next year, so I wish you all the best for this

| 173 | new year 2006 coming, and hope you'll find mondorescue as useful as
|

| 174 | usual !

| 251 | Following recent discussion here, it has been decided to increase

| 258 | requests. We are working with Hugo on the migration of the rest of the
|
---|
| 259 | content and the old Website, domain name in parallel, but it wil take
|
---|
| 260 | some time to be finished.
