Well, we have 31 improvements for DSL 2.1. It has been a big effort involving several members of the community. On the interface side we have a lot of nice Lua-FLTK tools including an icon management and settings tool by Robert and a very handy UCI mount/unmount tool written by Mikshaw. Robert also revised a bunch of his scripts including the wordview GUI and our 'System Stats' GUI.

System improvements include SATA boot time support, and improved RAM usage in 'toram' mode. There is a whole lot more going on here, so be sure to check out the change log.

As for applications, the biggest change is our replacement of FLwriter with Ted. Torsmo replaces asmem, wmcpuload, & wmnet to better support both
window managers. Also, to save space we replaced wmix and mount.app with functional but light Lua-FLTK apps.

There is much more going on, please see the change log for full details. Thanks you to everyone who helped for this release!
