Hi all, we are happy to finally announce the 2.2.0 "-ReleaseCandidate" code name "Get the power back!". Front up (so no external news site overlooks this): Our x86 ISOs already support the latest Apple Intel hardware, including the brand new MacBook and MacBook Pro. Support includes w-lan, accelerated 3D (on the Intel chips) and high-definition audio. However not any hardware specific bit might be 100% supported, yet. The PowerPC64 ISOs include support for the latest and greated Apple dual and quad core G5 machines. To outline only the major changes in the 2.2.0 series (all changes are nearly 10.000 SVN revision ...): * the legacy .gem package binary format created at ROCK Linux times is no longer used by default. Vanilla tarballs with any compression filter are used instead * a huge step forward is the integrated support for C++ cross compilation, enhancing the usability for embedded development * interesting for system integrators is that generating T2 CD/DVD media no longer required a second, time consuming, "bootdisc" target build. Almost any target can made installable or a livecd. * in addition to our first-class x86-64 support, powerpc64 is now mostly finalized (and MIPS64 mostly there) An overview outlining the major change between the major versions can be found here: http://www.t2-project.org/releases/ With broader testing the next weeks we target the 2.2.0-final release for the next weeks of June.
