| The third alpha release of our 10.2 product. Compared with Alpha2, we've made a number of significant changes: we switched to kernel 2.6.18rc4; openSUSE 10.2 contains KDE 3.5.4; we started the switch to GNOME 2.16 beta and have now the base packages in; the new branding 'openSUSE' is shown in places but there's still some existing 'SUSE Linux' 10.1 branding; X11 R7.1 with different paths (no more /usr/X11R6 for the X.Org packages). |

latest changes
Compared with Alpha2, we've made a number of significant changes:
1. We switched to kernel 2.6.18rc4 - and neither all kernel module packages (kmp) nor the Xen packages have been adopted for the new kernel.
2. openSUSE 10.2 contains KDE 3.5.4
3. We started the switch to GNOME 2.16 Beta and have now the base packages in, more to come later for Alpha4.
4. The new branding "openSUSE" is shown in the first places but there's still some existing SUSE Linux 10.1 branding.
5. X11 R7.1 with different pathes (no more /usr/X11R6 for the xorg packages): Users with a working X11 configuration will not see many real changes. First, the pathes have changed, so most applications that lived in /usr/X11R6/bin now exist in /usr/bin. So, hard coded paths need to be changed. The X11 Release 7 is fully modularized. This is reflected in our packaging as it enables us to
provide updates for individual components like drivers and libraries once they become available independently of the release cycle of the X Window System.
As with every major update, a lot of bugs have been fixed in all areas.
The changed pathes broke building of packages, so developers might need to change their software.
