Summarizing the improvements:
1. Support Serbian keyboard and locale.
2. More Broadcom b43 firmware.
3. Fix for locale changes, fixdesk script.
4. Some icons were missing, needed by Pidgin.
5. Flsynclient was broken.
6. Roaring Penguin PPPOE, some executables were missing.
7. Small improvement to live-CD install to frugal.
8. The devx PET now has fltk1.

What's next?
One thing that is planned for 7.0.2 is improvements to the frugal install.
It is expected to boot faster, run in less RAM, and save sessions considerably faster.
