openSUSE 10.3 Beta3 has been released:
It's my pleasure to announce the availability of openSUSE 10.3 Beta3. This is the last beta release before entering RC phase in two weeks. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release of openSUSE!
Important Changes Since Beta2
=============================
* Kernel 2.6.22.5
* libzypp 3.22.1
* improved package lists of 1-CD GNOME and KDE
* countless bug fixes in every component
* reworked concept of language bundles (bundle-lang-* and -lang packages)
A more detailed list of changes is available via http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News ;.
Most Annoying Bugs
==================
* Registration starts full package management stack - which takes _AGES_ (zypp cache is not copied from the RAM disk) [#304310]
* 10.2 - 10.3 Update: pattern:zmd cannot be installed due to missing dependencies [#307743]
(To work around this bug, make sure to explicitly refresh/update all patterns on upgrades)
* kdepim3: various regressions around POP3 [#307040 and others] - online update for Beta3 pending
* setfont breaks first Xserver start [#302010] - online update for Beta3 pending
* grub entry for booting windows vista is missing [#307802]
We'll keep http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_10.3_dev updated as we go.
