- Wary Puppy is intended to be our on-going commitment to older hardware.
- Puppies built with recent Linux kernel and X.org may not work properly
- on older computers. In particular, some analog dialup modem drivers
- cannot be compiled with recent kernels. Another major area is old video
- hardware not working with latest X.org drivers. Many of our
- leading-edge puppies are built with recent kernel and X.org, however
- Wary is built with an "old" kernel and X.org 7.3 so
- as to provide better drivers for the older hardware. However, Wary is
- in all other respects at the leading-edge like the other puppies, with
- recent applications, and support for all modern peripherals (printers,
- scanners, cameras, digital modems, etc.). Wary is also built with the
- latest Woof, so has the same infrastructure as other recent puppies.<br>
- <br>
- The packages used to build Wary were originally compiled from source in
- T2, then binary PET packages created. Wary is now built with PET
- packages, with a small but growing repository. As Wary is intended to
- be a long-term-supported project, there will be no major upgrade, only
- incremental improvements such as application upgrades and bug fixes.
- Thus, the PET repository will remain viable for years ahead and will
- continue to grow as developers contribute packages.<br>

- <h3>Wary 5.0 release notes</h3>
- Wary 5.0 was released on December 29, 2010. The version number "5.0"

- signifies this is the first release of another fifth-generation Puppy.<br>
- <br>
- Here are highlights of Wary 5.0, in no particular order:<br>
- <ul>

- <h4>Wary 5.1.1</h4>
- This is a very minor bugfix upgrade of Wary 5.1. The main problem in
- 5.1 is that the 'jimtcl' PET package was accidentally left out, which
- is needed for detection and setup of some USB 3G modems. You can
- install this PET without upgrading to 5.1.1:<br>

- Other minor bugfixes are in the underlying Woof infrastructure (see notes above).<br>
- <h4>Wary 5.1.2</h4>
- Once again, the focus has been on bugfixing, but also some packages are
- upgraded. Most of the bugfixing has taken place at the Woof level, see
- above. Additional notes specific to Wary 5.1.2:<br>

- </ul>Note that I decided to stay with SeaMonkey 1.1.18, as 2.2 has a badly
- broken Composer module. Also, 1.1.18 is smaller and better suited to
- older hardware -- FlashBlock and AdBlock plugins are included to suit
- those on dialup and download-limited Internet connection.<br>
- <br>
- A couple of projects that need special mention: BaCon and gtkdialog.
- BaCon is a superb BASIC compiler, and gtkdialog provides sophisticated
- GUIs for shell scripts. Both of these are extremely active projects,
- with very keen developers and users.

- <h3>Wary 5.2 release notes</h3>
- This is a massive upgrade relative to the 5.1.x series. All of the base
- packages were recompiled in T2. Certain choices were made in T2 with the
- plan of seamless upgrading from Xorg 7.3 to 7.6 -- that is, the default
- Wary system has Xorg 7.3, but it is planned that Wary can be upgraded
- to Xorg 7.6 by installation of a single PET, and all applications will
- work before and after. This required some very careful configuration.
- The idea is to "have our cake and eat it too" -- Xorg 7.3 for old
- hardware, easy upgrade to 7.6 for newer video hardware. The plan
- actually seems to be working.<br>
- As usual, huge changes yet only a small version-number change. Many bug fixes, upgrades, new packages. Summary:<br>

- If we go the whole-way and also build with a very recent kernel, then
- Wary is no longer "wary" but targets the very latest hardware. This
- rebuild of Wary, effectively pulling Wary "up by its bootstraps" has
- even been given it's own name, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Racy Puppy</span>. Racy will be released soon. <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02518">1</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02510">2</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02481">3</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02479">4</a>

- <h4>Wary (and Racy) 5.2.2</h4>
- Wary 5.2.2 is a bug-fix and minor upgrade of 5.2. Simultaneously, Racy
- puppy, our "Wary on steroids" is debuting, with the same version number.
- There were some Woof-level bugs in Wary 5.2, fixed, announced above.
- Here are release notes specific to the Wary and Racy builds:<br>
- <ul>
- <li>GTK 2.24.8, fixed slow drop-down lists & SM insert-key crash <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02594">1</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02595">2</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02597">3</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02598">4</a> <br>
- </li>
- <li>New app: Planner project manager <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02592">1</a> <br>
- </li>
- <li>Wary is built with 2.6.32.45 uniprocessor kernel. Racy is built with
- 3.0.7 SMP (multiprocessor) PAE kernel. Also, the former uses Aufs, the
- latter Unionfs. <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02553">1</a> <br>
- </li>
- <li>Apps upgraded <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02589">1</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02586">2</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02565">3</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02564">4</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02563">5</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02561">6</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02559">7</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02557">8</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02555">9</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02554">10</a> <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02544">11</a> <br>
- </li>
- <li>Wary and Racy are both now built with the full Mesa package, Intel bug fix <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02574">1</a> <br>
- </li>
- <li>Printing from some apps was broken (ex: Abiword) <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02567">1</a> <br>
- </li>
- <li>New app: Peasyprint <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02562">1</a> <br>
- </li>
- </ul>
- Racy has Xorg 7.6 and the 3.0.7 kernel, Wary has Xorg 7.3 and the
- 2.6.32.45 kernel. Racy boots straight to X on first boot, and launches
- Quick Setup, whereas Wary runs the text-mode configuration dialogs,
- including the Xorg Wizard, before starting X. Otherwise, everything
- under-the-hood is the same, and PET packages from the 'wary5' repo
- should work on both. Note, the 'wary5' repo is still a bit light, but I
- hope to improve that. Though, the selection of SFS files has improved.<br>
- Basically, if you are asking whether to use Wary or Racy, the former is
- intended for older computers, especially uniprocessor CPUs and for those
- who still access the Internet by analog dialup modem. As to choosing between Racy, Slacko, Lucid, etc., that is up to you...<br>

- <h3>Wary (and Racy) 5.3 release notes</h3>
- Read about 5.2.x above, it all applies to 5.3, with only a small number
- of package upgrades. The real changes have occurred at the Woof level,
- in particular pervasive support for internationalization, plus a
- "multitude" of bugfixes. There are now 'langpacks' available for many
- languages, and these also include translations for most of the
- applications used in Wary and Racy. Brief release notes:<br>

- <h3>Wary (and Racy) 5.5 release notes</h3>
- The last official release was 5.3, on 5 April 2012 (<a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02784">1</a>), and there were two betas for the next version on 28 September 2012 (<a href="http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=03011">2</a>), and 3 December 2012 (<a href="http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00056">3</a>), followed by a lull, then a series of Release Candidates in February (<a href="http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00148">4</a>, <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00151">5</a>, <a href="http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00157">6</a>).<br>
- <br>
- Most of the system libraries and some major apps have not been upgraded
- since 5.3, but a lot of smaller apps and utilities have, notably those
- created "in house" by our very enthusiastic
- developers such as zigbert, rcrsn51 and 01micko (plus more guys!)<br>
- <br>
- What really has progressed significantly since 5.3 is the Woof
- infrastructure, bringing a plethora of bug fixes and enhancements. These
- improvements have made it imperative to release a new Wary (and Racy).<br>
- <br>
- Note that Wary 5.5 has the same old 2.6.32.59 kernel (configured for uniprocessor i486 CPU), as we have a heap of
- 3rd-party analog (dialup) modem drivers compiled for it, plus others.
- Note also, most of those modem drivers are included in the live-CD
- .iso file -- which is partly why Wary is so great for "retro" uses such
- as analog dialup and old hardware. <br>
- <br>
- As already explained above, Wary targets old hardware, whereas
- Racy targets newer hardware. Racy has all the "innards" of Wary, except
- various things are upgraded to suit newer hardware -- especially Xorg
- and the kernel.<br>
- Racy does not have as many analog (dialup) modem drivers, nor true-SCSI drivers. For that, you need Wary.<br>
- Racy is intended for "more modern" hardware than Wary, but not
- necessarily the very latest. Think perhaps most hardware a year or more
- old.<br>
- Another way to separate them is that Wary is optimised for single-core CPUs, whereas Racy is optimised for multi-core CPUs.<br>
- <br>
- Racy 5.5 has the 3.0.66 Linux kernel, configured without PAE support
- (so only accesses first 4GB of RAM), and for a i686 CPU. It has SMP (multi-core) support.<br>

- <br>
- <b>Kernel Mode Setting</b><br>
- A note about KMS, for those who know what that means. Wary does not use
- KMS at all. Racy has KMS enabled (by default) for the intel 'i915'
- kernel module and
- for the 'nouveau' kernel modules, but not for the 'radeon' kernel
- module. Wary doesn't even have the 'nouveau' driver, only the
- 'nv' driver (Racy has both, but the 'nv' driver is by default not used).
- if you have an nVidia video card and experience difficulty getting
- either the 'nv' or 'nouveau' driver to work on Racy, please go to the
- Puppy Forum -- this is an issue that we are currently targeting to try
- and make setup smooth.<br>

- "Spup" is our generic name for puppies built with Slackware binary

- Slackware packages, and the Puppy Package Manager can install from any

- <h2>So many more puppies!</h2>
- It is so easy to create a custom Puppy, either by using Woof or
- remastering the live-CD (there is an super-easy remaster program in the
- Setup menu), and this has resulted in a huge choice of custom puppies.
- The main problem is finding out just what is available. A good starting
