* Updated /etc/shadow user root to remove default password.
* Added 'P)rovides' to ab  command line tiny appbrowser.
* Updated appsaudit to eliminate duplicates in onboot and ondemand lists.
* New Wbar_eXclude to exclude icons from wbar available in SystemTools. Calls wbar_exclude GUI.
* Updated wbar_update to process xwbar.lst created via wbar_exclude.
* Added Appsaudit to system menu.
* Added -s option to tce-load to suppress OK when using command line tce-load -is
* Code cleanup to appbrowser.
* New background and flwm titlebar colors.

rc2
* Updated busybox to 1.17.1
* New multivt boot code for multiple virtual terminals.
* Updated Appsaudit for ondemand moved to tce directory.
* Updated ondemand script to support move of ondemand directory.
* Updated supported window managers (fluxbox,hackedbox,icewm,jwm,jwm-snapshot,flwm,flwm_topside)

* Updated Appsbrowser - shaded 'need to download' items.

Note: ~/.OnDemand directory has been moved from the home directory to the user specified tce directory as ondemand/  Programs and supported window managers have been updated to reflect this change. If you use a ondemand and a window manager other than the default flwm_topside then you will have to use an rc version from http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/3.x/release_candidates/window-managers/

bmarkus:
In the base /usr/lib/libXft.so.2.1.13 depends on libfontconfig.so.1 which is provided by fontconfig.tcz, not in the base. Would be better to move it to /usr/local/lib in fontconfig.tcz

Same in TC 3.0

maro:
In addition to what bmarkus has reported: /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0.2 depends on libXfixes.so.3 which is IIRC in the Xorg-7.5-lib.tcz entension.

I guess a similar question re. moving the file into the extension applies.

roberts:
Both suggestions will be implemented for rc3. Thanks.

sandras:
as the tc desktop colors are frequently changing, could i suggest trying gradients? i think tc looks better that way, like here http://wiki.tinycorelinux.com/show_image.php?id=1&scalesize=o
also, just a thought, but what about changing /usr/share/wbar/osxbarback.png to a one transparent pixel png? i tried it, looks nice, wheights less, of course, tastes differ.
