I have just uploaded the fourth and final final Razz

Release Candidate for Puppy 4.2 Deep Thought with Seamonkey and Claws mail. There are no major issues remaining to be resolved, having settled the CUPS printing issues and the wireless networking problems as well as ALL of the minor niggles from the RC3 Bugs & Fixes thread:

Known issues:

1. The Pwidgets Clock-analog plugin doesn't appear (first boot only) until you click an icon or the background.
2. I still haven't set /usr/share/doc/home.html as the default home page for Seamonkey. It's there and contains the link to the puppy web portal but you'll need to add it manually to test.

New applications include Pwidgets (2.0.5) and PBurn (2.2.2). This release has been all about squashing niggling minor bugs, polishing and adding some minor changes to usability.

Coolpup has continued to submit back-end updates as have aragon and ttuuxxx. The localisation team including esmourgit and droope have continued to supply localised scripts. Zigbert, trio, 01micko and tasmod are still churning out new versions of Pwidgets. Lobster and ecomoney are working on publicity. Pizzasgood, Dougal, Patriot, rerwin and MU are working behind the scenes supporting various parts of the program. All have my sincere thanks, along with the myriad of willing testers, for their support of the project.

Mirrors:
1. http://puppyisos.org/isos/2009-01-to-06/4.2-rc4/
2. http://www.pkagfiles.net/puppy-test/
3. http://www.puppylinux.ca/puppyfiles/test/

If the mirrors don't show the new release yet it's probably because the admins haven't had time to move the files to the download area ... try again later.

This release is 99.32Mb, including so we are within our target weight for the final release. I will have a "tiny" surprise for FINAL which should be uploaded in 48 hours if all goes well with testing in RC4

Enjoy!

Can't find any bugs so far. Pwidgets seems much faster. Has seamonkey been updated, it seems more stable than RC3?

Got to go to work now.

Thanks to all.

I'm running RC4 in virtualbox, with 256 MB ram, 512 MB swap and I'm surfing on the net. When I use the "fetch" button in the chooselocale script I can see brief network activity (Blinky) and then I get the message that there is no internet connection. Tried with and without savefile, but same result.

Something else; In RC4 Seamonkey offers automatic update. Can this option be used without breaking anything?

Pleased to report that Abiword does not crash when adding a pic and right clicking on pic (in fact very nice demo clip art is there . . .)

Tried in fresh DVD boot and also just using as an update from rc3
Feels good Cool

Just looking at screenshot with weather showing.

Just a tip, but those who want the name not in capital, just run plugin again from menu and type over the name as you wish before re-applying.
