Wary Puppy, a  build of Puppy Linux that targets older hardware, has just received a major update, according to the developers.

The biggest news is that all the base packages were recompiled in T2 and certain choices were made with the plan of seamless upgrading from X.Org 7.3 to 7.6. It doesn't mean that Wary Puppy ships with 7.6, it only means that it can be upgraded to this version.

Among other important changes we can mention that Gtksourceview/Nicoedit was removed, new BaCon highlighting in Geany, PuppyPhone (Psip) was upgraded (the Skype killer), new gHasher checksum generator, GTK was upgraded from 2.21.1 to 2.24.5.

Puppy Wary 5.2 has Linux kernel 2.6.32.45. As noted above, Wary can be updated to support modern video hardware by installation of a single mega-package.
