+ <dd><em>Bruce Dubbs - 2011/08/30</em>
+ <p>The Linux From Scratch community is pleased to announce the
+ release of LFS Version 7.0-rc1. This is the first release
+ candidate on the road to LFS-7.0. It includes numerous
+ changes to LFS-6.8 (including updates to Linux-3.0.4, GCC-4.6.1,
+ and Glibc-2.14).</p>
+
+ <p>A somewhat major change was made in this version of the book by
+ adding a new top level directory, /run. This directory has a tmpfs
+ mounted and is used by programs like udev to store run time
+ information. The directories /var/run and /var/lock are also
+ linked to this directory. The bootscripts have been updated to
+ accomodate this change. The bootscripts have also been modified
+ to place supporting scripts in /lib/boot.</p>
+
+ <p>Changes to the book also include editorial work on the
+ explanatory material, improving both the clarity and accuracy of
+ the text. We would encourage all users to read through this
+ release of the book and test the instructions so that we can make
+ the final release as good as possible.</p>
+
+ <p>You can read the book
+ <a href="/lfs/view/7.0-rc1/">online</a>, or
+ <a href="/lfs/downloads/7.0-rc1/">download</a> to read locally.
+ </p>
