---------
New in these ISOs:

Ubuntu is no longer the base tier 1 distribution providing core packages... Debian Testing is now used. Casper and Lupin from Ubuntu are pulled in from BZR, which allow it to work as a LiveCD
  These changes (other then the specified repositiories) are all conditioned in. It would be theoretically possible to switch back to Ubuntu just by changing the debootstrap locations, and imported /etc/sources.list

Ubuiquity is no longer the installer. The installer is now Calamares, https://github.com/calamares/ which is an early distro independant install.

KDE Wayland is a selectable option, and is usable to an extent this time

waylandloginmanager instead of dumping the log output of all sessions to ~/waylandsession.log preserves 5 log files from each session to ~/wlsessionlogs/waylandsession_($DATESTAMP).log where $DATESTAMP is the number of seconds since 1/1/1970 12:00 UTC that the session was started (the UNIX epoch). This allows for better logging, and not using too much space from all the logs of all the users sessions

waylandloginmanager now relies on systemd v227, which no longer requires a combo of openvt and runuser (although openvt is still used for the fallback menus). This allows existing upstream provided PAM config files to not have to be overwritten

waylandloginmanager: fixed support for display servers that run on Weston's fullscreen shell, sessions are now called properly

waylandloginmanager: PAM Session now sets XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland (and exports the environment variable as well)

build_core: Downloads of repositiories are now done as the nobody user. This requires a filesystem that supports ACLs. most do. This is only for users building thier own ISOs. Also the handling of revision files is more secure. They are now processed in a restricted shell as a non root user, so that users building an ISO with specifc upstream revisions don't get compromised by a fake revisions file. This probably effects an extreme minority of people

---------
Usage:

There is no password for the Live Session User (beccaholic), while autologin is enabled when starting as a live CD, if you get prompted for a password when starting a second login session, the password field is blank

If you choose to install, the live session user does not get added, and instead the login becomes the default usernme and password that is configured at the installation wizard

---------
Problems and Notes:
  
  Orbital will be back on a later ISO when libweston is merged into main Weston.
  
  Hawaii and Papyros only work nested currently
