Although available since last week, the first of the two planned
openSUSE release candidates 12.1 was finally announced earlier today: "
The
first release candidate of openSUSE 12.1 is now floating over the web.
The next release of openSUSE is expected to bring a large number of
improvements and changes. Many of these are the 'usual' updates any
Linux distribution offers. These include the latest Firefox, GNOME 3.2
and KDE's Plasma Workspace 4.7. Under the hood, we have Linux kernel 3.1
and we expect to be the first to ship Google's new programming language
Go. We also overhauled our boot procedure introducing systemd and GRUB
2. But we also have some really unique treats. The coolest among those
is Snapper, a Btrfs-based tool which allows you to view the differences
between current and previous versions of files on your system and lets
you roll back the changes." The
release announcement.
