The T2 SDE release 7.0-rc named ‘Water Falls’ features two newly supported CPU architectures AVR32 and Blackfin as well as the brand new GCC 4.2 and GlibC 2.6. Additionally the T2 7.0 series comes with over 400 new packages while most of the existing packages received an update, including KDE 3.5.7, GNOME 2.18.2, X.org 7.3, XFCE 4.4.1, and Enlightenment 17. Many new features were implemented, including architecture and target package overlays.
X.org 7.3 hasn’t been released yet. Actually it’s not even close to being released. I guess the X.org version included is 7.2 + xserver 1.3.
Trying to look up glibc 2.6 changes – improved performance? better stability and security? nothing is mentioned on the GNU Libc wesite yet
In case you haven’t figured this out yet, T2 is a generic build environment, and is pretty popular with some fairly distinguished Linux distro builds such as puppy os.
I use it to reconstruct some of Puppy for targeted embedded platforms I write for.
Nice environment.
