Apr 21st, 2008: andLinux Beta 1 (final)
andLinux Beta 1 (final) is out now. Beside some minor bugfixes, its main difference to Beta 1 rc6 is the new kernel coLinux 0.7.3 (0.7.1 had a bad bug). There was a lot more (less urgent) on our TODO list, which will be done soon when starting with Beta 2. - Joachim
Apr 18th, 2008: Important Bugfix in coLinux Kernel
There was a bug discovered in the coLinux kernel: coLinux version 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 have a very ugly memory fault on startup, mostly with initrd. Mostly PC with more as 1.8GHz or dual core are candidates for this bug. It just reboots the host, some other PC freezed. BSOD have never been observed. The reboots are not all times. After the Windows reboot, coLinux can start in normal way. This bug has been fixed in coLinux version 0.7.3-rc3 which will be included in andLinux asap. Meanwhile, you may try to add a line "rootfstype=ext3" to settings.txt as a workaround. - Joachim
Apr 8th, 2008: SVN Repository
I've finally setup a SVN repository at SourceForge.net. For the moment, I've added the sources of the launcher and the setup scripts. The rest will follow later (and is meanwhile obtainable from the virtual drive of any andLinux installation). - Joachim

We've got a new section "Community Activities" now, where I'll link webpages and forums in other languages (so far: German; coming soon: Russian) as well as andLinux extensions contributed by the andLinux user community. - Joachim
Feb 21st, 2008: New Mirrors
We have some mirror servers now, among them SourceForge.net, being able to service the downloads again (in total there were over 30,000 downloads in the past three days...) - Joachim
Feb 19th, 2008: Being Dugg...
andLinux was dugg yesterday and became popular today, leading to a traffic that our server couldn't handle any more (actually it was working at full bandwidth servicing over 8 TB in 24 hours...) - Joachim
Feb 12th, 2008: Beta 1 rc6
andLinux Beta 1 rc6 is available. It's almost final now. A few bugs introduced in rc5 have been fixed in the Launcher and Samba mounting. Besides, ESD has been replaced by its successor PulseAudio (which is cygwin-free). - Joachim
Feb 5th, 2008: Beta 1 rc5
andLinux Beta 1 rc5 is available. It's not a final version yet, but this release candidate is "nearly final". Major improvements include updated Ubuntu (gutsy) and coLinux (0.7.1) versions. All known bugs should be removed now, including the BSOD bug. Besides, the download time is improved by a better compression ratio. - Joachim
Jan 17th, 2008: Development Snapshot
To provide an installer and an improved launcher to the community while the next release is still pending, I made a development snapshot available in the downloads section. Feedback is highly welcome (to fix any possible bugs until the next release)! - Joachim
Jan 9th, 2008: Security Note
In case you grant colinux-slirp-net-daemon.exe the permission to open ports to the internet in your firewall configuration, please carefully check the list of configured port forwardings in settings_static.txt (the line starting with "eth0=slirp")! Especially ensure that you have set a root password if you keep SSH (port 22) enabled! (To reduce the risk that ports are accidentally opened by granting colinux-slirp-net-daemon.exe full permissions in the firewall, the list of preconfigured port forwardings will be empty in release Beta 1.) - Joachim

Mar 20th, 2007: andLinux Launcher
