ReleaseNotes

v25	v26
53	53	LiveCD and first boot performance: After an initial installation or a boot into LiveCD mode, some background tasks are executed to finish the installation setup. This is known to degrade performance. On hard disk installs this usually is not a problem as the tasks are done quickly. In LiveCD mode the performance hit is more prominently visible due to the usually bad seek performance on CDs. Since the CD is read-only, this setup takes place on every start of the LiveCD. On writable media it will only be done once, so further boots shouldn't experience the same delays.

55		On single core machines, booting into safe mode on the first boot (e.g. every boot of a LiveCD) may result in Deskbar ~~or even Haiku as a whole, ending up in a dead lock.~~
	55	On single core machines, booting into safe mode on the first boot (e.g. every boot of a LiveCD) may result in Deskbar ending up in a dead lock. This is believed to be caused by NetworkStatus attempting to install itself in Deskbar while net_server is not running.

57	57	Font rendering, while improved due to the expired font hinting patent, is still not optimal. Due to the uncertain situation about patents, the official release has disabled code, which is known to be patented. This sadly includes the subpixel code used by FreeType. Once the situation is better understood and a decision has been made, subpixel font rendering may get re-enabled for official releases.
