Mythbuntu 9.04 Alpha 5 Finally available
Mythbuntu Jaunty Jackalope alpha 5 is finally available. With this release, we are providing mirroring on sponsored mirrors only. We skipped alpha 4 because at the time it would have launched, Xfce 4.6 entered the Ubuntu archive and was not ready.
It is very important to note that this release is not compatible with Mythbuntu 7.10 or any other MythTV 0.20.2 based distribution.
Changes from Mythbuntu 9.04 alpha 3:
Underlying system
* Alternate disks are still not being made.
* New easier to use ubiquity. Less questions asked.
* New Ubuntu 9.04 notification framework. Compositing needs to be turned on in XFCE to take advantage
* Underlying Ubuntu updates (see http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha5)
MythTV
* MythTV 0.21-fixes19961 included.
* Better handling of mysql errors
XFCE
* XFCE 4.6 included
* All theming updated to 4.6 compatible themes
