================================================================
  
  Current Ac Release Manager is [wiki:hawk Hawk].
  
- == PLD 2.0 RC1 ==
+ == PLD 2.0 ==
  
- On March 23rd PLD Linux Distribution team has announced release of PLD Linux 2.0 RC1 isos. [ftp://ftp.iso.pld-linux.org/2.0/ Ftp] resources contain 11 CDs for each architecture (i386, i586, i686, athlon, amd64 and ppc), miniiso (for i386, i586, i686 and athlon), DVD (for i686, amd64, ppc) and 14 CDs or 2 DVDs of source rpm packages.
+ On April 1st 2007 PLD/Linux 2.0 has been marked as stable. It will take up to three weeks before CD and DVD images will be available on our [ftp://ftp.iso.pld-linux.org/2.0/ FTP] for download.
  
- Known bugs:
- 
-  * PPC isos are not bootable (will be fixed in next release)
-  * installation from i686 DVD iso fails on some systems (installer still have some serious problems, most of them should be fixed in RC2)
-  * SMP version of 2.6 kernel hangs on non Intel main boards (new, completly reworked kernel packages are almost ready)
- 
- == Roadmap ==
- 
- Due to many changes/problems/delays there will be no more RCs. Next version will be stable version. It didn't make it before October because Someone(TM) was updating only x86/amd64/ppc part of kernel.spec ignoring sparc and alpha. Now kernel packages are ready and only following things are blocking Ac release:
- 
-  * installer doesn't fit on floppies anymore (I'm working on solution. No, using bz2, lzma, etc. would not help here, root fs is simply too big)
-  * there are still broken dependencies in main tree, these must be fixed for all architectures
-  * TODO list for [wiki:/BuilderTODO AC-builders]
- 
- I really wanted to generate ISOs before end of 2006, but that would mean Ac being outdated on its release date (and I don't want that to happen). If solving all of the problems listed above will go smoothly, then Ac ISOs should hit FTP on January, but since everything may happen I can't guarantee that date. However, February is '''a must'''.
- 
- Update: due to repeating problems with amd64 builder Ac will be delayed again. Sorry folks and yes, I know that Ac looks more like NEST.
