Code is currently being pushed for a new release of the DeforaOS Smartphone Environment [1], or "dse2" in hackable:1 speak [2]. New features were added, some annoying bugs fixed, and most notably, the Phone project [3] was branched to support more backends than just GSM.

This refers to, in particular:

• libDesktop 0.0.4 [4]
• Browser 0.3.3 [5]
• Editor 0.2.0 [6]
• Phone 0.2.6 [7]
• Panel 0.2.1 [8]
• Locker 0.0.1 [9]

Packaging all of these is mostly done already, either in pkgsrc [10] (via wip [11]) or hackable:1.

Also on the desktop, the Mailer project was re-designed [12], and even supports POP3 to some extent. There will be no formal release before the codebase is satisfying enough though.

Last but not least, the libc just hit 0.0.5 [13], and already made its way into the RunningBear project [14]. It has been dormant for a while, but bootable images can still be built, hopefully with a graphical interface soon.
