<p><B>2006-03-20 </B>Mondo 2.0.7 / Mindi 1.0.7 are out</p>
<p>
I'm happy to announce the availability of the latest and greatest
version of mondo 2.0.7 / mindi 1.0.7. Version numbers have changed of
format to be more in line with what is done generally (x.y.z)
</p>
<p>
Now available at ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/mondorescue :

</p>

<p>
Other distributions will follow asap (should be able to produce soon
redhat 7.3, fedora core 4, and only after rhel3/4 and sles9) due to the
change in the virtual machines I have to do (now using qemu + more tools
to generate RPMs)
</p>

<p>
The focus on this version has been more around the new website and
documentation, and a bit less on code. So some persistant bugs are still
not corrected (some dvd burning issues and dm/lvm2 support mainly) and
will be hopefully in 2.0.8.
