Hard on the heels of rPath Linux 0.99.4 comes an update that includes primarily security updates; new firefox, mozilla, and poppler have several security vulnerabilities addressed.

As we approach the end of our Beta testing, we would like to encourage the most extensive testing you are willing to do. Please report bugs that you find at http://bugs.rpath.com/ or on irc.freenode.net #conary.

Ongoing information on our release shows up on our wiki in real time: http://wiki.conary.com/rPathLinux
Note in particular that we are planning another update for next week, in order to incorporate and better test the updates we do in response to your bug reports.

• system-tools-backends now has support for rPath Linux and derived distros.
