Somebody decided not to wait.
Good on you Iguleder.

Come on barry....it's catch up time.

Puppy 4.3.2 Snapshot (23/3)

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=53769

" Just a current Puppy 4.x built with Woof (built on 23/3),
the version number is 4.3.2, because it's same as the
experimental 4.3.2 Barry released, but with the new network wizard
and all the nifty tricks Barry added since then. "

There seems to be a concern by some that an updated "official" release would somehow be detrimental to development of community editions and even puplets. I don't believe that should be a concern at all. In fact, I believe that we should have an ongoing current "official" release coexisting with an ongoing community edition effort plus the puplets. Let the user take their choice - it's all Puppy and they all have a place. It's one thing that makes Puppy unique.

Many, if not most, new users will always prefer a proven, stable official version, but they want it to be current. So do I for that matter, although 5 months is not panic time. Many users view community editions skeptically, justified or not. If Barry is up to releasing a 432, that's great. It keeps Puppy current while other editions are being developed.

As long as 432 is stable when released, can be painlessly upgraded from 431 (I had a heck of a time upgrading to 421), with better or updated applications, then why the fuss, go for it. We need it while more ambitious (and risky) versions are worked on.

And there's nothing wrong with Barry keeping his fingers in it as long as he wants to. Sorry, Barry, but we just need you to stick around as long as you feel up to it...

Do I gather from posts above that there are already TWO versions of Puppy 4.3.2 out there? Isn't that taking Puppy chaos a bit far?

These are just Woofed puppies with "432" as the version number. They are not official and there's till lots of work to do to make them stable.

gerry,

In an ideal world all puppies would be called Puppy 432.

This will simplify things considerably.

Maybe we could do away with md5 checksums as well.

Also, could everybody stop posting helpful stuff on the Forum?

It's just a test build, AGAIN, it's not official, it's just there so people can report bugs, that can be useful later.

as for 4.3.2 goes, shouldn't it have all the bug fixes in it? there are bug reports etc. like 16 pages here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47563
plus a few more http://murga-linux.com/puppy/index.php?f=10
I'm not sure how many Barry fixed etc, would take some work to figure it all out.
