xchroot has a new feature: It can mirror mounts into the root as well as out of the root while a chroot is in progress. This is achieved by forking a mirror-mountd process. Furthermore the code has been cleaned up to allow faster unmounts on exit, prettier printing with three message levels and an effective polling whether a sub-process has terminated on exit. Mounting the home directory into the root can now be done with a simple command line switch. As there have been done some bigger changes to xchroot, further testing is welcome.

We have added two scripts to convert the standard address book format VCF into text, html and a format readable by XGnokii. That way you can export your smartphone contacts to an old Nokia phone or print them.

Helmut Tischer contribuiu com um script para Debian / Ubuntu que pode baixar automaticamente as fontes do kernel e compilar e instalar o módulo do kernel radeon. Faz isso sem ter que compilar todo o kernel do zero.

confinedrv now implements a feature desired since long by the community: confining access rights to drives which have numbers in their name like /dev/nvm0e1. That way you do not need to link that drive node to an artificial name without numbers. The documentation has also been updated in order to tell that even -ro mounts change the underlying partition if not confined and that you should not mount a partition twice.

͏a̅tea has been extended for SNI (Server Name Indication). This is necessary to download from sites like elstel.org where one server hosts different domains each with its own certificate. The scripts in /DANE/ have also been extended to support SNI.
