  • Om 2009 There have been new additions to features and bug fixes to the last image. The latest testing release-4 for May 22th is available here
  • Neovento (formerly FYP) This release has some new features like Zhemes which allows you to change the Zhone/LXDE theme easily and also it's less memory hungry than the ones before.

New Applications

  • Podboy 0.0.1 - pre-alpha release is a podcast aggregator/player written in Python/Elementary
  • notifier 0.2 - This is a simple & great python application to remind you if you miss a call. It's really basic with no spectacular features. More features (Treviño patch) and discussions can be found here

Application Updates

  • openBmap 0.3.0, GSM/GPS logger to build a free database of GSM cells coverage. Focus: quality of data.
