New features
The third Beta also introduces new features, including:
The first release of 'drakcronat'. Drakcronat is a utility for configuring 'at' and 'cron' jobs.
WebDAV file system support has been integrated into the kernel and in drakconf. WebDAV allows users to collaboratively edit and
manage files on remote web servers.
koffice 1.2rc1, an office productivity suite from KDE, is now available in a new fully-functional version.
i845 support for 2D in XFree86 appears with this third Beta.
The complete changelog is available here, or download just the DrakX installer changelog.
There's still room for improvements and additional testing, so we would greatly appreciate your participation.
Beta 4
You've been dreaming about it, now it has arrived. Beta 4 of the upcoming Mandrake Linux 9.0 is now available for a thorough "bug-squashing" with your help.
Changes and improvements based on previous reports include:
* Drakconf: memory leak has been fixed. Additionally, Drakconf offers an improved look and feel.
* 'tinyfirewall' is now active.
* RpmDrake: Many improvements have been made including the ability to search package descriptions and the availability of 'noclearcache' option.
New software
* OpenOffice 1.0.1 -- a full-featured office suite is available in a new shiny version.
Known issue
When removing packages with the Mandrake graphical frontend (rpmdrake), you will see the message:
Can't use string ("/") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/urpm.pm line 1966.
This is due to last minute changes. You can download and install this package to fix the issue.
The installation changelog is available here. A package-oriented changelog is also accessible.
Thank you for the valuable input during the previous Betas; everyone is encouraged and invited to test Beta 4
Beta 4
Вы мечтали об этом, и наконец это свершилось
Основные отличия:
* Drakconf: Исправлена ошибка, приводящая к утечке памяти. Кроме того, улучшен внешний вид Drakconf.

* RpmDrake: Было сделано множество усовершенствований, включая поиск пакета по описанию, а также стала доступной опция 'noclearcache'.
Новый софт

Известные проблемы
При удалении пакетов с помощию графической версии rpmdrake, появляется следующее сообщение:
Can't use string ("/") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/urpm.pm line 1966.
Эта печальная ошибка была замечена в последнюю минуту. Для исправления просто загрузите и проинсталируйте этот пакет ;
