In these hot weeks of August we are implementing changes and enhancements for DEFT 7.2, but there’s more. DEFT 7 will be the last release for 32-bit systems. From release 8, DEFT will be release only for 64-bit systems for obvious reasons of performance. DEFT 7 will still be kept up to date just for the needs of task to be performed on 32-bit obsolate systems.

The release of the 7.2 is planned for September 2012.

Below you up to date on some hot topics in abeyance, such as:

• The English manual is still in the process of translation, we are about 60-70% of the work completed.
• The new DEFT website is under construction, we hope to release by the end of 2012. It will be available both in English and in Italian.
• Since 2012, the DEFT project will become a non-profit organization based in Bologna, Italy. The opening of a non-profit organization will allow us to manage funds, donations and revenues to invest fully in the DEFT project that will always remain open source and free.
