   In the second week of April Mensys will release:     
      
   * The new updated eComStation demo CD based on eComStation 2.2   
   * eComStation 2.2 German and English will then be out of beta and   
   released as a final product.    
      
   A beta of the English beta product will follow. The hold up of this   
   beta public is to make the transfer of the from the IBM USB host   
   controller drivers to the newly updated drivers. The keyboard and mouse   
   driver are already finished. There is currently still being worked on   
   the USB host controller (these communicate with the USB controller   
   chips in your computer).    
      
   In eComStation 2.2 ACPI has been switched on by default when   
   eComStation is not installed in a virtualmachine such as Virtualbox or   
   Virtual PC. This will enable eComStation to boot on modern hardware with a much   
   higher degree of success. This will also resolve the TRAPS/hangs on   
   loading screen01.sys.    
      
   Also in eCS 2.2 the Panorama graphics driver has been upgraded to   
   provide much better performance on modern hardware.     
      
   A lot of drivers such as IBMKBD.SYS, DANIS506.ADD, AMOUSE.SYS and   
   UNIAUD have been updated to work better with ACPI. Some updates have   
   been to fix suspend/resume issue's.   
       
   The current eComStation 2.2 beta is basicly complete and being tested   
   to work out the last installer issue's.   
      
   YUM/RPM is included but can be installed as an optional package. Its   
   not required.     
      
   CUPS has also been integrated in eCS to have more up to date printer   
   support on eComStation.
