EasyOS Excalibur-series version 7.4.7 released

Right now, I'm camping on the south coast of Western Australia. My campsite does not have a phone signal, but a short work away, overlooking the ocean, get 4G Vodafone and Optus signals. Weak, but usable.

I went there this morning and started to upload the Easy 7.4.7 release. But, so slow. So, drove to a nearby town, which has the phone tower where the 4G is coming from at my campsite. This time, quicker upload, and interesting, Vodafone performing better than Telstra. Was anxiously watching the battery level, now down to 22%, after everything has uploaded.

This town has a library and community centre, and they are happy for me to bring in my laptop and plug it into the mains power. So will do that next time, if I'm still here.

Highlights since 7.4.6:

• Xlibre and gtk2-ng are back! — August 09, 2026
• Remove user-installed package if builtin — August 09, 2026
• Continuing getting APT to work in a layered filesystem — August 08, 2026
• Grey with pink-highlights theme — August 01, 2026
