Hi, you try the testrelease, the beta1 is not released yet. It is
planned to
release it next weeks but i will wait for kernel 3.2.35 and IPFire 2.11
core65
before i can start to build it.

Yes. You can see all changes in the thirteen git branch.
http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/thirteen

The number behind Development Build: thirteen/xxxxxxx are the first 7
digits of the
sha1 sum of the commit.

The most of the last changes are made on this updater. You can try it
by setting /opt/pakfire/db/core/mine back to 63 and reupdate with
pakfire update --force
pakfire upgrade -y

After this you have to wait until the system ask you for a reboot.
Don't reboot
before this message...
