Some Important News
1. Ndiswrapper, which allows Windows XP wireless network drivers to be used in Linux, was broken in Puppy 2.12. Barry has upgraded to Ndiswrapper v1.33, which fixes the problem.
2. Jason (plinej in Forum) has created a great little frontend for sox and ffmpeg, Soxgui, which can perform various operations on audio files, including file format conversion.

8. SeaMonkey upgraded to v1.0.6. The 'profile roaming' extension and an extension for editing Cascading StyleSheets in Composer have been added.
9. At first shutdown the user chooses to save personal settings and data in a file, that we call 'pup_save.3fs'. This file internally had a ext3 filesystem, however for various technical reasons we have changed to a ext2 filesystem. New personal storage files will now be called 'pup_save.2fs', where the '2' indicates ext2.
