I actually think I like Puppy Studio 3.3-rt better than 4. A few apps were updated in 4, but 3.3 plays 'rockin in the free world' on startup.
You can re-upload it if you want. But 3.3's pretty similar.

Y'know, I thought it would create more of a splash when I released that. But basically the only people who said anything were you, RSH, ciento, and some jerk who used it on another forum to say "See! This is why Studio 13.37 sucks!" without ever trying Studio 13.37.

Great update! Getting a Studio and a pup that are both
up to date, is golden!
Is the snailmail business address the same as last year?

- Added the Non DAW suite of applications, including Timeline, Sequencer, Mixer, and Session Manager

Now with
Factory Reset!
Basically, from now on Studio 13.37 will ship with an empty savefile, which gets written to at the end of every session, without user interaction. The whole process of saving changes occurs behind the scenes, and is automatic.
But if, for whatever reason, the user wants to restore his usb stick to factory settings, Factory Reset will wipe it clean and reboot it in "brand new" condition.

- tighter sfs integration with Shinobar's sfs-load at start
- faster loading of desktop
- better menus
- new easier savefile system - usb stick comes with an empty savefile which gets written to automatically at the end of every session
- Factory Reset - it shouldn't be necessary for a user to touch anything in their system files partition at all, unless he wants to resize the save file when it gets full. (If you use Studio 13.37 enough that your save file is getting full, you might want to consider installing it on your computer. Then you won't have to worry about save files.)
- Firefox updated to version 23 from 22
- added more info to the help page

That Fatboy Slim piano chord sequence has been embedded in my bonce since you posted this. Stoppit.
I will have to go and listen to Green Onions to get rid of it.

Green Onions is a great album.

Include MPD latest version and/or the ability to upgrade MPD as new releases become available would be a great add-on feature.
Currently MPD is very outdated as a pup package, so its almost not worth it for a user to try to add the package from the repository.

Probably not, sorry!

Aqualung works good for me, as a player app, and it maintains a jackd connection, to allow quick overdubs with a recording app.
I assume you are looking more to the server side?
