30 <h1>Release Notes:<br />grml 1.0-rc1 - codename <a
31 href="/faq/#releasename">Meilenschwein</a> (20070508)</h1>
33 <p><strong>Notice: grml 1.0-rc1 is a RELEASE CANDIDATE and not
34 yet the stable release!</strong></p>
38 <p>grml is a Debian-based Live-CD. It includes a collection of GNU/Linux
39 software especially for users of texttools and system administrators. grml
40 provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for example as a
41 rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working environment. It
42 is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you don't even need a
43 harddisk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1
44 GiB of software and documentation on the CD.</p>

185 <h3>Important Changes</h3>
187 <p><a name="utf8"></a><strong>UTF-8:</strong> grml uses UTF8 as
188 default encoding. You can deactivate UTF-8 environment via
189 booting with bootoption lang=$LANG-iso. Some software is not
190 yet UTF-8 aware (problem is located upstream, neither at Debian
191 or grml itself). More information about UTF-8 at grml can be
193 href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=utf8">utf8 webpage in
194 the grml-wiki</a>.</p>
196 <p><strong>get_tw_cli / get_3ware:</strong> get_tw_cli has been
197 renamed into get_3ware as we support 3DM2 as well now.</p>
199 <p><strong>fluxbox:</strong> the keybindings have been restored to
200 their original behaviour. Now Alt+F# switches desktops, Alt+Shift+F#
201 sends an application to another desktop.</p>
203 <h3>Packages / Software</h3>
205 <p>Details about shipped packages and their versions on grml are available at
206 the <a href="http://grml.org/files/#debian">Debian section</a>.</p>
210 <p>Updated all packages to Debian Unstable branch by 200705xx.</p>

213 different names/in different packages]:</p>
