NEW • Development Release: openSUSE 10.3 Alpha 7

Stephan Kulow has announced a new alpha release of openSUSE 10.3: "Alpha7 is ready, after 5 rebuilds we're happy to say it looks good enough for the public. Important changes since Alpha6: Linux kernel 2.6.22.1, GCC 4.2.1, libzypp 3.12.1; the package set of the CDs are heavily reshuffled and with it the patterns also affecting the DVD. After Alpha6 was more about testing the first integration of libzypp, Alpha7 is already 10 steps further in regards to libzypp. But we'd like to have your feedback on the refresh policy of yast/zypper. See Duncan's explanation about the problem in the opensuse-factory archive." Read the rest of the release announcement for further details. Only the single-CD installation media with either GNOME or KDE were available for download at the time of writing: openSUSE-10.3-Alpha7-GNOME-i386.iso (700MB), openSUSE-10.3-Alpha7-KDE-i386.iso (672MB).
