This release includes the recently-released Linux 3.0 kernel, a smaller distribution size using XZ (LZMA2) compression, native Xen pvops guest support, new 486 CPU support, and additional G5 CPU testing.
This release includes the re-introduction of PowerPC support, a large core infrastructure re-engineering, Linux 2.6.36, the addition of Hardware Detection Tool (HDT) to the x86 boot menu, and many small features and bugfixes.
This release includes updated upstream Debian software and Linux kernel 2.6.32. The finnix-thumbdrive utility has been removed in favor of UNetbootin, which can take a Finnix ISO and extract it to a bootable USB drive without needing to boot Finnix first. PowerPC support has been officially dropped, though future PowerPC releases may be made on a one-off basis. A new version scheme has been introduced.
