MOL-0.9.64 is available for download. For now, it is only
available as a source tar/source RPM. The usual set of
binaries will be available on Sunday.
It will be a couple of days before 0.9.64 will be
linked from the download page (I'm working from my laptop and
I can't update the www pages from here). The 0.9.64 version is
in the FTP archive though (there is a link from the download page).
The changes in brief:
* 603 support.
Hopefully, MOL now support the 603. I haven't tested this
completely though. I debugged this mode by letting MOL run linux
in 603 mode and then start mol in the MOL/linux session. At
least the 'startmol --test' works...
* Network autoconfiguraiton
MOL now autoconfigures tun networking (no more
masquerading headache). Moreover, both the tun driver
and the tap driver is bundled with MOL. Networking
ought to function out-of-the-box on most 2.4 setups.
A DHCP server is also started to simplify the MacOS
side configuration.
* Module autoloading
It is now possible to start mol as an ordinary user
even if no kernel modules are loaded. Username based
authentication has also been added.
* New config system
A directory, /etc/mol, is now used instead of /etc/molrc.
It is a lot easier to configure multiple sessions.
* Linux support
MOL can now boot linux. I've successfully installed
and run Debian on it. A special kernel must be used though.
