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

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