Solus Daily: 0.201529.2.0

July 14, 2015

The latest Solus Operating System Daily ISO is now available for testing. Be reminded this is an unstable development ISO

See our first daily ISO announcement for instructions on writing this 64-bit, Hybrid, UEFI-compatible ISO to USB medium. Remember, unetbootin is not supported!

In this release we opted to remove Flash Player by default, as it is nothing short of a security nightmare. The package name is listed below for those who wish to manually install it, and a graphical method for installing this easily will be provided at RC1.

This ISO sees huge performance and boot time improvements (well over 50% reduction) as well as multiple fixes throughout the networking stack. (i.e. bug 21)

We request users now use the Solus Bugzilla when reporting issues, defects or requests.
