Quirky 1.1rc

This is the release candidate for Quirky 1.1. The build is actually numbered 104.

Preliminary announcement and release notes:

There is the normal Quirky, qrky-104.iso, built with the 2.6.33.2 kernel. Note that I have changed the file prefix from "quirky" to "qrky", so the save-file will now be named "qrkysave.2fs".

A bonus is another build, Quirky-Retro, built with the 2.6.30.5 kernel (same as used in Puppy 4.3.1). This build has all the analog modem and SCSI drivers. Note, the file prefix is "qret", so the save-file is named "qretsave.2fs".

Please note the scope of the fixes and improvements of 1.1 relative to 1.0, explained in the release notes. I plan multimedia improvements for 1.2.

"01594"74.220.68.25'Snap-to windows"BarryK"You mean windows that snap-to each other and screen edges? Yes, that behaviour is gone. The earlier version of JWM had it on by default, v492 has it off. I rather liked it. I wonder if the JwmConfig2 app is able to set it? That JwmConfig2 app has been somewhat neglected, we probably need someone to take a good look at it, tidy it up, remove or fix some things that might have been appropriate for older versions of JWM. The latest JwmConfig2 is here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/jwmconfig2-20100513.pet Username: 15 May 2010, 8:25

Closing any window does this, some are slower than others.
