                        tinysofa classic server 1.1
                                 ("Rio")

===========================================================================

A new stable release of tinysofa classic server, version 1.1, 
codenamed "Rio" is now generally available.

"Rio" overhauls the tinysofa classic server product line and features:

  * The Linux 2.4.21 kernel (adapted from RedHat Enterprise Linux.)

  * Native POSIX Threads Library support in the kernel and glibc.

  * Exec-Shield support in the kernel to compliment the IBM stack
    smashing protection patch.

  * APT as an advanced package management tool, with full support for
    cryptographically validated packages, user run and 3rd party
    repositories, CD-ROM source support, and more. APT replaces SWUP
    as the primary software updater, although SWUP is still present
    in the distribution.

  * The addition of the dovecot IMAP server and the HPA tftp server to 
    the base distribution.
  
  * The designation of vsftpd as the only FTP server shipped with 
    classic server.

  * The replacement of FreeSWAN with OpenSWAN, ensuring continued 
    availability of a commercial quality IPSEC solution.

  * Working locale support.

  * The reworking of all packages, with backports from tinysofa
    enterprise server 2.0.

  * "Thought process compatibility" with tinysofa enterprise server 2.0.

  * And much more.
