It gives me great pleasure to announce a new release of Poky, version 3.0 (blinky). There are lots of new features in this although the biggest change is no doubt the introduction of the new look and feel known as Sato along with the new desktop, panel and Pimlico application “Tasks”. A rough summary of the changes is:
- Sato 0.1 - simple fast GTK+ based PDA/Smartfone fully featured theme and application framework
- Latest Pimlico packages (Contacts, Dates and the new Tasks)
- Matchbox Panel-2 and Matchbox Desktop 2
- Improved customised version of Puzzles

- Latest X.org X11 packages (X11R7.2 based)
- Package Epoch support

- Improved QEMU images including distcc support and improved integration
- Introduction of 'formfactor' - physical hardware abstraction layer
- GTKTerm replacing rxvt
