#jbxkb

Finally, I've managed to get to a point where I can mark a release stable. The defining feature of this release is loading/saving from a config file.

In order to fully utilize this feature, you need something labeled "JUSTDATA". This can be USB thumbdrive, harddrive partition, or even a floppy disk should work. Simply utilize your favorite disk partitioner to create the label (depending on the tool used this may be destructive).

The partition/drive/media should be formatted as fat16/fat32, ext2/ext3/ext4, or brtfs. The following are not supported: exfat, hfs+, zfs, other. If succesful justbrowsing.cfg will be created. You can edit it outside of JustBrowsing if you wish (newlines will be sanitized).

For those of you using a Virtual Machine:

VirtualBox users: the .OVA now comes bundled with a HDD labeled JUSTDATA

QEMU users: download JUSTDATA.img (to same directory as .ISO file) and use with qemu-iso script

Notable improvements include:

GUI settings: default browser, locale, keymap (with ibus where needed), custom homepage, force clean profiles

Reworked syslinux menus (locale/keymap and VM)

Better i3lock-sentry

jbxkb keyboard layout switcher tray applet

battery tray applet for laptops

More fonts, GPU and wifi firmware

Torrent download option

Now to talk about some known bugs:

Broadcom BCM4311 wifi chipset not compatible with Linux kernel 3.15.x it will be fixed in 3.16.1 (already in 3.16rc3). I will provide a 3.14 LTS release for those affected.

Non-whitelisted keymaps non-functional in Chrome 35+

Networks save/load not yet implemented

Printers save/load not yet implemented

While a new stable release is still pending, I have been busy working on several components:

The screenlock dialog migrated from zenity to gtkdialog

i3lock-spy has many improvements

jbxkb is a much more versatile alternative to gxkb

Though still not complete, jb-config is coming along with keymap and locale settings

jb-remaster is an easier way to make GUI changes
