Delayed by a week due to a critical bug that would have prevented testing,
the openSUSE project today announces openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 3 (M3), the
third of six milestone releases of what will become openSUSE 11.4. The bug, a
crash in the software
rasterizer<https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641297>of the
Mesa OpenGL stack, was found by our automated test suite and the
openSUSE XOrg developers swung into action so that KDE would work on systems
without hardware acceleration, which includes most virtual
machines.<http://news.opensuse.org/2010/11/11/opensuse-11-4m3/20101111_002-2/>

systemd, the alternative init system, becomes available for testing in M3
with version 11.  To test systemd, install it, then reboot with
init=/bin/systemd as described by Andreas
Jaege<http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/10/08/systemd-and-osc2010/>r.
Otherwise, the existing SysV init is used.

M3 includes Gnome 2.32
<http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.32/>on the desktop,
including metacontact support in the Empathy instant
messenger and Banshee 1.8 <http://banshee.fm/download/archives/1-8-0/> with
Amazon MP3 store plugin, KDE
4.5.3<http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.5.3.php>,
and a number of independent updates including version 0.11 of the Arora
browser <http://arorabrowser.blogspot.com/2010/09/arora-0110.html>, the
chemistry tool Avogadro
1.0.1<http://avogadro.openmolecules.net/wiki/Avogadro_1.0.1>and Licq
1.5, introducing XMPP support to this venerable IM client.

On the productivity front, M3 includes LibreOffice
3.2.99<http://www.documentfoundation.org/download/>,
 a host of additional optional packages for KOffice such as
lcms2<http://www.littlecms.com/index.html>giving better colour
management and image processing options, and Digikam
1.5.0 <http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/539> including automated lens
correction while batch processing multiple images,

Mono 2.8 <http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.8> replaces Mono
2.6 and adds C# 4.0, an new garbage collector and many performance
improvements.

At the lower level, Linux kernel 2.6.36 is in, along with
smartmontools 
5.40<http://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-1.4.0.html>brings
SSD support, and Wireshark 1.4 brings many performance improvements
and memory footprint reductions.

Due to a new liblzma, delta ISOs from M2 to M3 must be applied using a new
version of deltarpm.  Stephan Kulow provides this in his
home:coolo<http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/coolo/openSUSE_Factory/>Build
Service project.

We look forward to your bug
reports<http://bugzilla.novell.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=openSUSE+11.4&format=guided>and
test experiences. Automated testing and the openSUSE Factory team have
been active to ensure that your download of
M3<http://software.opensuse.org/developer>will be at least minimally
functional.

The next milestone is scheduled
<http://www.suse.de/%7Ecoolo/opensuse_11.4/>for November 25.  openSUSE
11.4 is planned to be released in March 2011.
