Next release: FireFox 5 and Thunderbird

I caved.. The next release will have Firefox and Thunderbird, this all comes from getting a decent mail client. Claws-Mail in look and feel just wasn’t cutting it.

Synergy LiveMedia Bug fix and feature preparation.

In Alpha 3 Richard reported that the Synergy Live Media Creator, also known as the “Compressed Installer” for us limited on hard drive space, wasn’t smart enough to properly calculate the size left over for a persistent overlay file. Of course it will do it properly for ISO files but installing while running Live it [...]
