• Barry Kauler ☛ Increase resolution of webcam viewer

  I went to the Puppy Forum to find out what else needs to be fixed before the next release of Easy; however, the site is down. So instead I sifted though notes written on pieces of paper scattered around on my desk. Found an old note to myself about the webcam viewer having low resolution.

• Barry Kauler ☛ SeaMonkey 2.53.22 compiled with system ICU

  I reported on adding support to compile SeaMonkey within woofQ2:

  2.53.22 compiled in woofQ2 — November 05, 2025
  

  ...problem though got a compile error when linking with the system libicu, so had to use SM's internal libicu.

• Barry Kauler ☛ Workaround to fix printer setup

  Easy 7.0.30 has a fix as reported here:

  I didn't test that fix, just assumed it is ok, because the guy who created it is a CUPS wizard. However, in 7.0.30, we found that it breaks CUPS.
