eyeOS 1.1 delayed five days

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

After some hours of hard testing, we have decided to delay the eyeOS 1.1 announcement a few days. It will be probably released by the end of this week. The main reason is that we want to solve all the bugs that have been appearing in the eyeOS 1.0.x releases, to make eyeOS 1.1 widely stable and usable from a large number of web servers and browsers.

The good news are that it will include some new widgets that were thought for 1.1.1, and will finally be included in the 1.1 release. We’ll be also publishing the translation tables soon so by the 1.1 release there will be as many languages as possible. The new translation system makes the languages independent from the releases, so it will be possible install and update languages by just intalling packages to the system.

We’re so sorry about the delay, we really want to release it as soon as possible, but we prefer to delay it a few days and release it much more stable than release it today with some unsolved bugs. We hope you will understand this decission.

For those unpatient, you can always download the latest code from the SVN Server.

News in eyeOS websites

Monday, June 18th, 2007

We have just updated the eyeOS website, making it XHTML valid, and adding some new parts to it, such as the new footer with direct links to the official communities, and some new sections like the brand new Development Section, which will list developement documents and useful links to get introduced into the eyeOS Development Community.

The eyeOS Wiki has been also adapted to eyeOS.org design and we have reorganized the Start page, creating new pages to localize groups of pages, like eyeOS Applications or the Widgets reference.

Please, report us any problem you see with the new websites, or ideas/sugestions about them. Thanks!
