+        <h3>About</h3>
+
+        <p>After the downsizing and cleanup release 2011.12 this release brings

+          <li>Support 9p-virtio filesystem for mounting the DCS-directory (Debs, Configuration and Scripts - see man grml-autoconfig)
+
+        </ul>
+
+        <h3>Important Changes</h3>
+
+        <ul>
+          <li>The ssh bootoption sets the specified/generated ssh passwort for user 'grml' <i>and</i> (new) for root
+          <li>Using /media as default mount target
+          <li>Dropped the grml-feedback tool
+          <li>Add a few kB of lines made of # charaters to the end of the main syslinux config file

+
+        <h3>Bits &amp; bolts</h3>
+
+        <ul>
+          <li>Linux kernel is based on <b>3.3.6</b>. No additional modules are shipped.</li>
+          <li>Fixed several bugs from the <a href="http://bts.grml.org/grml/">bug tracking system</a>.</li>
+        </ul>
+
+        <h3>Packages</h3>
+
+        <p>Details about shipped packages and their versions on Grml are

+
+        <h3>Updates</h3>
+
+        <p>Packages are taken from Debian testing, 15th of May
+        2012. 7 packages have been removed, and these 52 new packages
+        have been added (plus dependencies, excluding lib* and kernel image):</p>

+
+        <h3>Known issues</h3>
+
+        <p>grml-small: the lang bootoption sets the LC_* environment variable
+        to POSIX and therefore lacks support display of special characters like
+        german umlauts
