Two days short of being release in July as promised earlier, here is Incognito 2008.1! Yes, the versioning scheme has changed into something hopefully less confusing for non-developers. Without further ado, here's the changelog:
2008.1 changes since 2008.0 (i.e. 20080109.1)
- Added an Incognito Walkthrough which will launch upon start up.
- Added language support for Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Russian and
Swedish.
- Chinese and Japanese fonts should work better now. The new fonts
unfortunately increased the size of the ISO image quite a bit.
- Incognito now works in VMWare and includes device drivers and
open-vm-tools which should enhace the user experience greatly.
There's also a VMWare Virtual Appliance available from the
download section of the website.
- Preliminary support for VirtualBox has been added. But it does not
work out of the box (see the Incognito walkthrough for more info).
- New artwork. A huge thanks goes to dr|z3d for the work on the logo.
- Added kvkbd, an on-screen virtual keyboard suitable for entering
passwords when hardware keyloggers could be present.
- Added KeePassX, a password manager and generator.
- Added GNU Privacy assistant, a graphical user interface for GnuPG.
- Removed the Ksirc IRC client as it leaks to much information through
ctcp (local time, useragent etc). XChat and Pidgin are the preferred
IRC clients as they don't leak this information.
- Removed the Kopete instant messenger. Similarly, we have Pidgin for
this, and Kopete leaks information in IRC just like Ksirc does.
- Added Torbutton 1.2.0 as a replacement for the Firefox extensions
NoScript and CS Lite, which is both easier to use and more secure.
- Tor 0.2.0.30
- TorK 0.29.2
- Vidalia 1.6
- Firefox 2.0.0.16
- Thunderbird 2.0.0.14
- NetworkManager 0.6.6
- TrueCrypt 6.0a
- Linux kernel 2.4.24 (with Gentoo patches) with tons of drivers
added. In particular it's now possible to mount other storage media
for users willing to take that risk.
- New portage snapshot (2008-07-06) and major update of software base
including KDE 3.5.9.
- New (less confusing) versioning scheme: YEAR.INCREMENTALNUMBER,
with 2008.1 as this release (think of 20080109.1 as 2008.0).
