Release Notes: A "dependency" scheme was added to make sure you don't accidentally skip a vital step or do things in the wrong order. You can still override dependencies if you really know what you're doing. Spells are now installed in the background while you are busy selecting options. Software RAID support via mdadm was added.

Release Notes: A completely revamped installer was added. Significantly newer versions of spells are included. This was generated using a repeatable system.

Release Notes: Major features include integrating triggers into the dependency tree. The dispel tool can now recursively remove child or parent dependents. The downloading code was restructured. Numerous other improvements were made.

Release Notes: Versions 2.4.25 and 2.6.5 of the kernel (x86) are available. Significant changes were made so that the bulk of configuration happens before installing the system. GRUB has been added, so a choice between LILO or GRUB is now available. The image.tar.bz2 that was unpacked onto the target has been replaced by individual spell caches, giving better control over installation and easy use of caches in rescue mode. For the 2.6.5 kernel version, a choice of static /dev or udev on /dev is offered and automatically setup. For 2.4.25 kernel, the default is still devfs, but a static /dev is possible by editing a few files.
