Hi all, we are pleased to announce the maintenance release T2 6.0.2 named "Continuity". It also comes with some updated packages, but mostly security updates, bug fixes and some improvements! The release primarily focuse to iron out all known sparc64 issues for smooth support on Sun T1 Niagara CPU systems such as the T1000 and T2000 - but also includes non SPARC security fixes, updates and improvements along the lines. Prebuilt ISO images of the minimal target are available for SPARC64 at: http://osiris.tfh-berlin.de/mirror/t2/stable/6.0.2/ http://nexus.tfh-berlin.de/t2/binary/stable/6.0.2/ Please note our updated roadmap and known issue lists at: http://www.t2-project.org/releases/ For more information please check out the full anounncement below. = About T2 = T2 is not a common Linux distribution - it is a flexible Open Source System Development Environment, allowing the creation of custom distributions with bleeding edge technology. With T2 you can define targets for various purposes, ranging from embedded Linux systems with a few MB of size over server configurations to a full desktop system featuring X.Org foundation, KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice.Org and many more. Those targets can be compiled for use on the most common architectures: Alpha, ARM, HPPA/HPPA64, IA64, MIPS/MIPS64, PowerPC/PowerPC64, SPARC/SPARC64, SuperH, x86/x86-64 - theoretically any GCC/Linux supported one. You can find more info about T2 at http://www.t2-project.org/about.html, and the supported architectures at http://www.t2-project.org/platforms.html. = T2 6.0 Tree (Branch) Overview = This release includes bug fixes, security fixes, updates and even some improvements to the SDE.
