hi roberts,

nice release... everything works smoothly and as expected... thank you.

don't mind if i remember you:
"System Stats will be resizeable in next cut, hopefully 4.5 final."
i'm patient, so  i will look to the next release...

* Updated wbar to 2.3.0

New wbar has a bug and it leads a segmentation fault when --nofont  option is used.

I patched source code and here it seems works fine now. Patch is:
In /src/core/Main.cc line 195 where:

Code: [Select]

if (optparser.isSet(BALFA) || optparser.isSet(FALFA) || optparser.isSet(FILTER) || !(p->getTitle().empty() || optparser.isSet(NOFONT)))it should be:

Code: [Select]

if (optparser.isSet(BALFA) || optparser.isSet(FALFA) || optparser.isSet(FILTER) || !(p->getTitle().empty()) || optparser.isSet(NOFONT))
BTW, thanks to Team Tiny Core for this new release!

I usually run a comparison to the previous release or release candidate whenever a new one shows up. This time I noted that a kernel driver (i.e. '.../drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.ko.gz') was removed. As 'modules.alias' and 'modules.dep' are still unchanged (i.e. 'depmod' was not run after the file removal) I wonder whether this is intentional or rather an "accident".

I actually did make the change to System Stats but then forgot to merge into the final image.
From the posts so far looks like I will be doing a 4.5.1 so you will have soon.

Thanks, We will get your patch in for the fix.

Good catch, thanks! I have restored this item. Looks like I will release a 4.5.1 with these adjustments.

Please report the bug upstream too. ( http://code.google.com/p/wbar/ )

Title text with the white outline (shadow?) looks ugly on my notebook even with Xorg and not in line with appearance of other texts. Just a cosmetic of cource, however.... Screenshot below doesn't give back its real appearance on the physical screen:

Why has  Apps GUI OnBoot, OnDemand, & Md5Check case insensitive sort order while Load App Locally has not?

[bmarkus]

/usr/local/share/applications/tinycore-scm.desktop is not needed, can be removed.
