Wolvix 1.1.0 Available Now

Final versions of Wolvix Cub and Hunter were made available to the general public yesterday: "I'm pleased to announce the final release of Wolvix Cub and Wolvix Hunter version 1.1.0. This release marks a turning point in the Wolvix development as it's not longer a SLAX remaster, but now based on the stable Slackware releases and the Linux-Live scripts." , the Wolvix developers said. Except for the fact the Wolvix CDs are now based on a stable Slackware release, the following fixes and enhancements are also included:

￭ Added updated fonts cache to the xorg module.
￭ Removed Ekiga from Hunter as it has a dependency to Evolution.
￭ Moved Cyrus-sasl from Hunter to Cub. Required by Claws Mail.
￭ Moved Kino from Cub to Hunter due to increased size of the Xorg module.
￭ Made the Fluxbox module more independent from the Xfce module
￭ Replaced the extra wallpapers with new using the new logo
￭ Added synaptics and changed the mouse protocol from 'imps' to 'any'. (This should make it easier to set up touchpads right.)

Also, the following applications were updated:

￭ Flashplayer 9.0.48.0
￭ Mozilla-Firefox 2.0.0.6
￭ Mozilla-Thunderbird 2.0.0.6
￭ Kino 1.1.0

￭ gPodder 0.9.4
￭ medit 0.8.9
￭ NoteCase 1.6.1

Other highlights of this release include:
