maro:
Thanks to the team for this latest release candidate.

I'd like to enquire if it is planned to create extensions for those applications that were dropped from base as part of the 2.8 release cycle? I'd imagine that some users see a benefit in having a small ftp client or a small ssh client/server.

Jason W:
Yes, a dropbear extension is planned.  Maybe tonight if there are no snags.

jur:
Installing from /tce/optional with AppBrowser>File>Install Local, brings up a filter *.tcz$ which in my case lists nothing. I have to go custom filter and zap the $ before anything is shown.
