Changes Since Last FreshFish CD-ROM
(Updated 1/31/95)
This file lists significant changes since the last FreshFish CD-ROM, except
for the usual and expected differences like all the new material submitted
since the last FreshFish CD-ROM and updates to the useful material that is
included with each release.
========
BSD tree
========
The BSD tree is now gone. The parts of it that were still interesting
were integrated into the GNU tree.
======================
Changes in Useful tree
======================
We have eliminated the "dist" directory level and moved all the directories
that were in "dist" into the root directory of the useful tree. We have
also moved the contents of the "Catalogs" and "Reviews" directories into
an appropriate subdirectory in the useful tree.
==========
Two-CD set
==========
The most obviously visible change is that we have gone to a two-CD set
format for this and future FreshFish CD's.
After completing volume 7, we realized that we were rapidly running out of
room on a single CD. Since we have plans to greatly expand the amount of
material in the "GNU" and "Useful" portions of the FreshFish CD, as well as
continue to add more material to the "New" section, we decided to expand the
FreshFish CD's to a two-CD set. Although these two CD's contain over 1 Gb
total of material, with room to expand by several hundred megabytes, there
is also about 150 Mb of material in the BBS section from previous FreshFish
CD's, that can be eliminated if necessary from future CD's. This should
give us room to grow for at least another year or so.
====================
New AmigaGuide files
====================
We have included some new, automatically generated, AmigaGuide files in
the root directories of the major sections of this cd (BBS, GNU, New,
Useful), that should make it easier to simply browse the CD contents
from WorkBench. For serious searches for specific material, we still
recommend KingFisher.
======================
Ports of GNU utilities
======================
For information about changes in the GNU utility tree, see the file
GNU/README.
