Announcing openSUSE 11.0 Alpha 3

After four regular weeks and one hack week after Alpha 2, we are very happy to announce openSUSE 11.0 Alpha 3.

Changes since openSUSE 11.0 Alpha 2

The highlight of course is the reworked ZYpp framework, which gives you a much faster package management experience. This release also contains a new and professional installer theme.

A lot of packages were also updated to newer versions:

* linux kernel 2.6.25-rc5
* GCC 4.3 final
* GNOME 2.22 final
* Compiz 0.7.2
* KDE 4.0.2/3.5.9
* Zypper 0.10.2

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There were 1855 checkins since Alpha2 – you can get a more complete list at Factory/News
