====== Release Notes - CrunchBang Linux 9.04.01 ======

After a slight delay and a prolonged testing period, the final builds of CrunchBang Linux 9.04.01 are [[:downloads:9.04.01|now available]]. This is the first revision of the forth release of the distribution. As the version number suggests, it is based on [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope|Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope]]. As with all previous releases, 9.04.01 has been built from scratch using the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD|Ubuntu MinimalCD]]. The builds were completed on the 6th July 2009 and contain all security and package updates available at the time from the Ubuntu repositories.

===== What's new? =====

For the first time, CrunchBang Linux is available to download in both 32 and 64-bit builds. The addition of the 64-bit (amd64) builds were a major contributing factor to the delay of this release, although the end result was worth the extra development time. Other noticeable changes as a result of moving to the latest stable Ubuntu release include:

  * Much improved boot performance with faster start-up times.
  * Improved support for wireless cards.
  * Ext4 filesystem support.

Other changes over the previous 8.10.02 release have been kept to a minimum, with the exception of:

  * The lightweight [[http://code.google.com/p/tint2/|tint2]] panel/taskbar replaces lxpanel.
  * [[http://www.transmissionbt.com/|Transmission]] BitTorrent client replaces Deluge.
  * A full [[http://www.vim.org/|Vim]] installation included by default.
  * [[http://pyroom.org/|Pyroom]] fullscreen editor included by default.
  * Many other minor tweaks and fixes including:
    * Improved documentation added to default configuration files.
    * Openbox menu items added for commonly used configuration files.
    * New and improved default Openbox and GTK themes.
    * Additional Openbox and GTK+ themes installed, including the [[http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/_detail/screenshots/9.04-dyne-theme.png|popular Dyne themes]].
