Test Release: openSUSE 10.3 Beta 2

Excerpts from the release announcement.

The openSUSE Team is proud to announce the release of openSUSE 10.3 Beta 2. Though this release should not be used on any production machines, everyone can help shape this release by testing out installations and much more. For more information on the release schedule, take a look at the Roadmap.

Technical Changes

• Linux 2.6.22.3
• glibc 2.6.1
• YaST infrastructure improved to allow writing complete YaST modules without using YCP (e.g. exclusively in Perl, Python or Ruby)
• Bootloader-related improvements: openSUSE 10.3 will use “chainloader” if it detects additional installations’ bootloader code in other partitions, otherwise “configfile” sections will be used (see Call for Testing below!)
• Improved package lists of 1-CD GNOME and KDE
• Countless bug fixes, all over the place

A more detailed list of the changes is available on the Factory/News wiki page.
