This version will be the last based on Mandriva 2006 (until no important bug
found that can justify a new release). The next one will be based on Mandriva
2007.

Main change in this new version is the addition of oood, a standalone server
based on openoffice.org and developped by Nexedi.

Here is the detailed change log:
* Brand new openoffice.org-oood, a server for converting docs from other
formats to OOo, generating pdf files, keeping unchangeable snapshots in pdf
format, getting and setting metadata. It returns a file in a desired format;
html files are zipped because they often consist of more than one file. This
deamon is intended to be used with ERP5 Document business template, although
it can be run standalone for any other client application.
* New in ERP5: xhtml_style as default, dependancies issues are now
auto-solved during BT5 installation, new BT5 (erp5_web, erp5_dms,...) + 8
months of hard work on core framework and Business Templates.
* Update MySQL from 5.0.20 to 5.0.27: lots of Security enhancements and bug
fixes. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-x.html for
details.
* Add MySQL NDB packages.
* Move postfix chroot environnement to writable RAM media
(/etc/postfix/chroot) because /var/spool/postfix/ is removed by mklivecd and
postfix queue must be writable.
* Update to latest Mandriva 2006 kernel (2.6.12-29) with NTFS R/W support.
* Brand new openoffice 2.1.0.
* Zelenium product added for TTW functionnal testing.
* python-mechanize + ClientForm added for ERP5 benchmarks.
* FCKeditor updated to version 2.2.
* New TimerService build for better URL handling.
* New patch on Photo zope product (thanks to Bartek).
* Add memcached (and python-memcached) deamon and start it at boot to
increase ERP5 performances.
* Add schedutils 1.5.0 to be able to set the processor affinity of zope
servers, as advised in the documentation of the Giant Interpreter Lock of
python (see http://docs.python.org/api/threads.html for details).
* Latest mozilla-firefox 1.5.0.7.
* thttpd removed (use SSL apache instead).
* Replace cervisia by kdesvn.
* Add wireshark, ipython, libaio, pdftohtml, xpdf, bind-utils and htop.
* Add Kafee JVM to speed up OpenOffice.
* Don't run squid at boot.
* Do not eject CD tray at reboot or stop (think of rebooting a distant
machine...).
* Use DHCP on eth0 as default at boot.
* Start erp5cdtool deamon earlier in the boot process to solve bad hostname
issues.
