====== Info about PLD 3.0 (Th) ======


===== Warning =====
PLD 3.0 is currently in an early stage of development so even quite radical changes are to be expected. 



===== Release Manager =====
Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz (arekm at pld linux org) is the current RM. 



===== Changes =====


==== Supported architectures ====
Development of Th focuses on the following architectures: 


  * generic x86-64 
  * x86 (targets: i486, i686, athlon) 
  * PowerPC 
Support for Alpha, SPARC and i386 wasn't completely dropped, but those architectures will not be part of mainstream development. Additional information will be available at a later date. 



==== Separate noarch target ====
In PLD 1.0 and PLD 2.0 noarch RPMs were placed alongside architecture specific packages. This changed in Th and now all packages are kept under paths corresponding to their target architectures (please see the next paragraph to see how to construct such a path). 



==== Directory structure ====
In Th, RPMs can always be found under ''th/$treename/$architecture/RPMS/'' directory. Currently "PLD" and "test" trees will be used (most users will probably want to stay away from the latter) and "upgrades-*" trees **might** be used after Th's official release. Do note, that the "ready" tree known from PLD 2.0 will **not** be used in any way that would make it usable to users (assuming it will be used at all). 



==== Hot new things ====
Th contains, among many other, the following fresh packages: 


  * gcc 4.2 
  * xorg 7.2 with [[http://team.pld-linux.org/~wolf/xglpld.png|Xgl and compiz]] 
RPM packages are compressed using LZMA, which results in both substantially smaller file sizes and faster decompression
