Serenity Systems International and Mensys BV are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the eComStation 2.2 beta 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 ==

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.
