Hi All,

I have looked in what I thought were the usual places for these things but Ive not had much luck so far so I thought Id try here!

I am currently trying out the IPFire 2.13 beta, so far I have to say its very good! A large improvement on the previous version, especially with regard to hardware support. However I have a couple of questions about the beta I hope you can help me with.

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.

1. Is there some sort of changelog which lists what has been

fixed/improved between beta versions? So I know if I have an issue whether it has been worked on between versions?

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.

2. Is it possible to "upgrade" between the beta versions in the

download page or does it require a complete re-install?

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...
