+--------------------------+
Wed Jul 31 21:39:17 UTC 2013
New pmagic_timezone program replaces timeconfig.
The timezones are automatically configured for de_DE, fr_FR, it_IT, nb_NO, pl_PL, ja_JP, and zh_TW. These countries have single timezones, so guessing is fairly accurate. Maybe…
+--------------------------+
Wed Jul 31 15:39:28 UTC 2013

+--------------------------+
Tue Jul 30 01:31:24 UTC 2013
New syslinux F5.txt entry: timeconfig=no
The timeconfig program is ran when the desktop starts now. A dummy file /root/.config/timeconfig stops it from running more than once and while using save session. An option to sync with the internet was added to the end of the timeconfig script.
+--------------------------+
Mon Jul 29 17:40:27 UTC 2013

boot/syslinux/F5.txt: rdate=no is now rdate=yes, so it's not ran by default.
+--------------------------+
Sun Jul 28 18:47:16 UTC 2013
linux/linux-3.10.3: Upgraded.
Added new command line options: rdate=no and monday=1

Removed /selinux folder.
+--------------------------+
Thu Jul 25 14:28:33 UTC 2013
The module blacklists weren't working well with user custom kernels, so everything in /etc/modprobe.d was deleted and everything in /lib/modprobe.d/scsi-sata-controllers.conf is commented out. Parted Magic loads all modules in the initramfs, so it doesn't make much sense to have controllers blacklisted.
+--------------------------+

Changes for 2012_12_25 - 2013_01_29

This version of Parted Magic brings all the Xorg packages up to date, adds Spanish language support, and a much improved Shut Down Menu.
In the last release there were some issues with the Xorg 13 series. Some people were getting black screens. Reports have come in and most of this seems to be corrected by adjusting some udev rules, pulling a few Xorg drivers from git, and updating to the 3.7.5 Linux kernel.
Lots of packages have been recompiled to add the Spanish locales. The syslinux menu has also been updated with Spanish language entries. Spanish is now very well supported in Parted Magic.
The Shut Down Menu has been redesigned to be completely ran with or without the mouse. It can also be translated, though English and Spanish are the completed languages at this time.
Lots of people were having trouble finding the panel menu button because it was simply the Parted Magic logo and it didn't look clickable. We replaced it with a familiar looking button typically found on most Smart Phones.
You can now use the Clonezilla rescue iso option. Thanks to Steven Shiau for helping me get this working in Parted Magic.
Firefox is updated to the latest 18.0.1 release.
The CD Save Session routine now uses the Xfburn GUI instead of the command line tools with fixed options. This was reported to have improved performance.
