Six months after releasing eyeOS 1.6, where we caught up one of the most important point in eyeOS (the synchronization), it’s time to announce that the life of 1.6.x is close to its final, leaving the upcoming 1.7.1 release as the stable one.

The next mantainance release of 1.6 branch will be the last update containing bug fixes. After that, the 1.6 branch will receive only security updates. The last bugfix release (eyeOS 1.6.0.5) is planned for 2008/11/25, and the 1.6 branch will receive security updates until 2009/04/25 (one year after the release).

If you are using eyeos as development enviroment, please consider seriously an upgrade to 1.7.x.
