Our purpose is to create a multi-purpose tool that will suit the needs of our growing user-base through an intensive development process that follows the &#8220;release early, release often&#8221; paradigm of open source software.<\/p>\n<p>After four months since the last iloog version (7.06) the new version is out with lots of interesting changes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First of all with the help of mikeg iloog now has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.squashfs-lzma.org\/\">squashfs-lzma<\/a> support. That means that we have better compression on livecd so we can fit more tools inside. With squashfs-lzma we managed to fit another 100-150Mb of new utilities and libraries.<\/li>\n<li>Isolinux now has a menu with many new options and diagnostics.<\/li>\n<li>Of course there is an updated kernel, 2.6.22, with support for many new chipsets.<\/li>\n<li>Booting sequence optimization. Booting should now be a bit faster.<\/li>\n<li>New firmware for some usb adsl modems and wireless dongles.<\/li>\n<li>For the first time there is bootsplash support. Graphics were created by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyberarch.gr\/\">cyberarch.gr<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Some changes in the older iloog scripts and 2 brand new ones. The first changes X keyboard layout settings during an X session and with the help of <a href=\"http:\/\/fbxkb.sourceforge.net\/\">fbxkb<\/a> one can now visually change language keymaps by clicking the flag icon on Fluxbox&#8217;s tray. The second one called iloog-kdrive.sh is used to start X windows using the Xvesa (kdrive) server. It&#8217;s targeted mostly at older systems with 64Mb RAM or less.<\/li>\n<li>Some changes to Fluxbox&#8217;s theme to make it look cleaner and  better.<\/li>\n<li>Lots of new packages, among others: Opera, sjphone, java-1.6, pcmanfm, pidgin, powertop, filezilla, unison, ocaml, openobex, obexftp, sobexsrv, etc, etc<\/li>\n<li> We even have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilug.gr\/iloog\/images\/ILOOGv710.tif\">CD-label for iloog-7.10<\/a>! Thanks again to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyberarch.gr\/\">cyberarch.gr<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is surely the best iloog release so far.
