   eComStation 2.2 beta II now available     
      
   /December 13, 2013 /     
      
   //     
      
   Serenity Systems International and Mensys BV are pleased to announce the   
   immediate availability of the eComStation 2.2 beta II Release. This beta   
   release is available in English only.     
      
   This product is available for download to all registered users of   
   Software Subscription Services for eComStation.     
      
      
   eComStation 2.2 beta III will follow before the final release.   
   This eCS eComStation 2.2 beta II is done to test that most issue's with USB,   
   AHCI   
   and disk geometry problems are resolved.     
      
   This release does not address all bugs open currently in the eCS   
   bugtracker.     
      
   == eComStation 2.2 beta II ==     
      
   This is a beta version of eComStation 2.2, provided to interested   
   customers for the purpose of testing and evaluation.     
      
   eComStation 2.2 includes many new features. While our in-house   
   testing indicates that they are fully functional and reliable, we   
   would appreciate as many reports from our beta testers as possible   
   in order to complete our evaluation prior to final product release.     
      
   Consequently, we would request that, when using the eComStation 2.2   
   Beta, you pay particular attention to testing and evaluating the   
   following new or improved features:     
      
   * New: CUPS printer support. Support for a large variety of printers   
   is installed by default.   
   * New: File Open Container.   
   * New: split view for desktop folders.   
   * New: Adapters and Protocols configuration program.   
   * New: PNG Desktop. (large icons)   
   * ACPI power management, especially in combination with multiple   
   processors. The ACPI support in eComStation 2.2 has been   
   significantly overhauled relative to earlier versions.   
   * Video driver performance with Panorama. Panorama has received   
   considerable improvement since eComStation 2.1; in particular,   
   widescreen displays should now be much better-supported.   
   * WiFi support has been updated with new versions of the XWLAN   
   widget and the WPA supplicant program.   
   * A Java-based RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) client has been added   
   to facilitate remote connections to Windows workstations and   
   servers.     
      
   Please refer to http://www.ecomstation.com/support/ecs22beta/ for more   
   information on this beta and guidelines to submit your reports.
