<SOLVED> ISO Updates

[Newlife]

This year I started with PCLOS 2010.1.  Now I see it is up to PCLOS 2010.11.

After searching, I cannot find where there is an explanation of each new update. Can someone point me to where that might be found???

As you are probably aware, PCLinuxOS is a rolling release therefore if you have an updated 2010.1 setup it will be the same as if you had just installed the 2010.11 version (after the 2010.11 was updated of course  )

I believe the release schedules of approx 3months between each release is so that new users (or new installs) don't have to download/update a ton of updates (I would imagine if a 2010.1 update was done today it would probably need a 600/700MB download)

The biggest change is probably the KDE 4.5 release updates.

Go read General Announcements:

You do not need to download and install this release if you have been keeping up with your updatesl. This is mainly for those new to PCLinuxOS so they don't have so many downloads to perform to get updated to current status.

Keeping up with your updates means updating once a week or once every two weeks. Keeping up with updates does not mean updating once every 3-4 months well after an updated ISO is produced.

Actually, a 600MB/700MB download can accumulate after every three months. I remember that right before PCLOS 2010.10 came out, I freshly installed a PCLOS 2010.7, and it had around 700MB of updates.

That is why the quarterly update project was started.
