Yesterday, the OpenSUSE project released version 10.2 RC1, which is the last planned step towards the release of OpenSUSE 10.2 (final), currently scheduled for Dec 7. I guess all of us SUSE afficionados will get an early Christmas present this year!
Do not expect any revolutionary changes this time around. There are a few new packages and a slew of updated ones. The main highlights are:
- Firefox 2.0
- Kernel 2.6.18 SMP (no non-SMP)
- GNOME 2.16.1
- KDE 3.5.5
- PHP 5.2
- improvements to the online update and package installation tools
- reorganised start menu
