Change log for Tiny Core v2.9
Release Candidate 1
* Updated appbrowser - added "Provides" to search for "What provides", also speed improvements.
* Updated appsaudit - added "Display All Not Depends On".
* Updated tce-load - added support for recursive dependencies.
* Updated tc-config - persistent home and/or opt, changed ext only support to not Microsoft file system support.
* Updated ab to use tmp work files.
* Improved language support by auto loading locale support extension(s) when both "lang= " and the "-locale.tcz" extension(s) are available in tce/optional.
* Renamed *.core.gz to simply *.gz for ISO9660 compliance.
* Clean up of reported relics and empty directories.
* Updated f2 & f3 boot message screens.
* Fixed bug in tce-update easy mode.
* Dropped the embedded help file.
Notes:
Attention extension makers, please test the new recursive dependency process, but hold in abeyance until v2.9 is final.
Since the embedded help file has been dropped, your system menu, likely in your backup will need to be adjusted. Edit/remove such entry.
Release Candidate 2
* Upgraded busybox to stable 1.15.3
* Upgraded udev to 151.
* New "Set TCE Drive" in control panel to setup TCE directory, optional and mydata.tgz from cloud mode.
* Upgraded tce-load and appsaudit to support copy2fs flag and list in the base tce directory.
* Updated OnDemand to also support re-launching applicatons. Now one can always use the OnDemand menu section.
* Updated support for easy mode remastering /opt/tce now uses onboot.lst
* Updated tc-config to also make, if necessary, optional directory when tce= boot code is used.
* Added cache, .logo.xpm, and stats.txt to default /opt/.xfiletool.lst
* Updated /opt/.xfiletool.lst to persist OnDemand menu item across reboots via normal backup.
Notes: Files likely in your backup that need updating:
The following have been added to the default /opt/.xfiletool.lst:
cache
home/tc/.wmx/Applications
home/tc/.logo.xpm
home/tc/stats.txt

No sound (alsa)... I suppose this may have something to do with the recursive dependencies?
Also, Chromium-browser complained about libIDC.tcz (sp?) which it never had a problem with before.
Is this the right place to report these?
Juanito:
tce-load in 2.9rc2 should work with standard and recursive deps - alsa with standard deps works for me with 2.9rc1 (I didn't try with 2.9rc2).
Chromium-browser is probably complaining about libIDL, a dep of ORBit2, which is not listed in the dep file - I'll add it
Edit: ..and the missing dbus/dbus-glib deps for the new GConf
roberts:
There should be no recursive dep files in the repository. I have only asked for extension makers to be testing such. I have also asked that any and all such recursive dep files be held, i.e., not submitted to the repository, until 2.9 is final.

Hi there!
I just saw that someone else had problems with the sound with tinycore 2.9rc2. The same happened to me this morning (local time, like 9 hours ago or so) when I tried it out. The sound was muted. I tried to use Xmms to listen to a part of an audio book. So i just switched back to tinycore 2.9rc1 (just the core, not making any other changes) and now the sound is up just as usual. Can't explain this but it seemed very odd. Otherwise it really seems that the 2.9 is getting along well.
Have fun making tinycore progress,
meo
