This is a beta release, not to announced on Distrowatch!
I intend to release Quirky Xerus 8.0 around about the 21st of April, however, have brought out this beta for anyone who might like to play with it and help find and fix bugs.

Bugs
I have found some bugs.
One of them is in BluePup, my bluetooth management GUI. When you bring it up, either from menu, click on the icon in tray, or run "bluepup" in a terminal, the "SCAN & PAIR" button needs an adjustment -- click the "edit" button alongside it and change the timeout for "power on" from "10" to "30" (that will be 5 seconds to 15 seconds).

Feedback
I have started a thread on the Puppy Forum:
