Today we are introducing the first Mythbuntu Intrepid Ibex alpha release: Mythbuntu 8.10 alpha 4.  With this release, we are providing mirroring on sponsored mirrors only.

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 8.04:

Default Guided Partition

 * The guided partitoner in the installer will now default the recordings partition to XFS instead of EXT3.

Mythbuntu Apple Trailers

 * The Apple Trailer plugin has been forked and is now being kept up by our very own Nick Fox. This plugin is installable from MCC or synaptic and accessible from the frontend.

Stability

 * Lots of bug fixes across the board in Ubiquity and Mythbuntu Control Centre.
 * Several MythTV bugs that were sent upstream got fixed.
