28.07.2008. Frenzy 1.1 standard RC1 is out. Read more in forum, see a screenshot or view software list.

07.05.2008. The development goes on, and we are moving to 1.1-RC1. Most critical bugs with unionfs was fixed, and now it works fine. However, we still use FreeBSD 6.x as a base system, since moving to 7.0 will slow down release process. For now we have usable unionfs filesystem organization and working FEM system. I plan to release RC1 until end of May 2008.

12.12.2007. Frenzy 1.1 standard BETA3 is available. Read more in forum.

16.11.2007. After a long period of silence I will continue development of Frenzy.
Next version of Frenzy will be more sysadmin-oriented (most of desktop applications will be removed). Installation to HDD also will be disabled.
Since we have usable unionfs in FreeBSD now, Frenzy will heavily use its' advantages. The most notable feature is Frenzy Extension Modules (FEM), which allow to add applications to LiveCD/LiveUSB without rebuilding (you may see similar feature in Damn Small Linux and SLAX).
Now I am working on test builds. Public beta build of Frenzy 1.1 will be available soon.

13.10.2006. Some info about future release of Frenzy 1.1.
The date of release depends of FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, since Frenzy 1.1 will be based on it. I plan to release 1.1 in November 2006.
The mostly notable feature is FEM - Frenzy Extension Module system, which allows to add software to LiveCD without modifying CD itself, it is similar to SLAX modules and Damn Small Linux MyDSL system. You may download "technology demo" here. Software collection will be updated, bugs of 1.0 will be fixed (most of them already fixed in SVN)

17.07.2006. Frenzy project was registered on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/frenzy). So we have now English mailing list (subscribe here), SubVersion repository (view here) and other services provided by SourceForge.

• All configuration utilities now have unified interface and run via configuration center [ Screenshot ]
