v2.1 [Dec 11, 2012]
Fixes some of the issues found with applications. Almost no system file has been updated, but with this release you'll find a brand new version of Mapparium (which now allows to compute routes), a new, more secure build of OWB with upgraded openssl to 1.0.1t, the latest version of SimpleMail and PortablE (which was unluckily left-out by mistake in version 2.1.2). But this is not just a "refresh" update, it also includes some new applications like the FinalBurnAlpha emulator, meteMP3 player and, why not, the ColorCLI scripts, which will help customizing your system a little more.
v2.0 [Jun 20, 2012]
May include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
v1.5 [Jan 22, 2013]
1.A NEW 68K ENVIRONMENT
--Icaros Desktop 1.5 provides a full emulation layer for classic Amiga software, running both games from their ADF files and Workbench applications without the need for original Amiga KickStart and AmigaOS: we use AROS 68K replacement ROM and operating system, running on the new Janus-UAE v1.3 emulator, both in coherency mode or in a separate screen. Under AROS 68K you don't need to manually set the guest resolution anymore (it will automatically adapt to host's one at startup), nor you'll have to choose for locale, input and Zune preferences anymore: our AmiBridge subsystem will keep them in sync for you. Icaros Desktop also provides some famous classic programs like TVPaint, Real3D, AmiBlitz and others. But if the compatibility degree assured by AROS 68K is not enough, you can always integrate Cloanto's Amiga Forever into Icaros Desktop and take advantage of AmigaOS 3.X and original Amiga ROMs.
2.IMPROVED INSTALLATION
--Weren't you bored of Icaros Desktop 1.4 installation times? We were. So we decided to change the way Icaros installs itself on your hard drive, allowing you to choose what programs to install and which not. If you don't need games, Icaros won't install the anymore, neither during its installation, nor when updating the system through LiveUpdater. Our area-based macro-packages include all programs of the same kind, and you can activate or disable them with the new "Custom" installation option. All mandatory files and programs have been moved out from the Extras drawer, and have been included both in the Live! and Light distributions. Moreover, you'll find a little script in the root of the media which will help you create installation USB pendrives.
