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.

Con estremo ritardo (e ce ne scusiamo per questo) pubblichiamo il link alle slides degli interventi del DEFTCON tenutosi a Torino il 30 marzo 2012 presso la Maxi Aula 1 del Palazzo di Giustizia di Torino.
