Well, a large part of the job is to make sure that LTSP is properly supported ... by the distributions. Those changes are not, per se, in the LTSP code but in most of the distro code and not directly in the project code so I guess that it makes sense for such a project that integrates a lot of underlying technologies that have to be supported and working together :

DHCP
TFTP
NFS (no more)
NBD
Pulseaudio
X11 (X.org)
etc. (to name a few)

LTSP is supported by Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora/RedHat, Suse.

On another level, another important effort has been done to provide enterprise grade thin client (LTSP-Cluster) and all those efforts happens outside the LTSP tree and are not accounted for in this changelog.

After 2 Years of Development, LTSP 5.2 Is Out 79

The Linux Terminal Server Project has for years been simplifying the task of time-sharing a Linux system by means of X terminals (including repurposed low-end PCs). Now, stgraber writes "After almost two years or work and 994 commits later made by only 14 contributors, the LTSP team is proud to announce that the Linux Terminal Server Project released LTSP 5.2 on Wednesday the 17th of February. As the LTSP team wanted this release to be some kind of a reference point in LTSP's history, LDM (LTSP Display Manager) 2.1 and LTSPfs 0.6 were released on the same day. Packages for LTSP 5.2, LDM 2.1 and LTSPfs 0.6 are already in Ubuntu Lucid and a backport for Karmic is available. For other distributions, packages should be available very soon. And the upstream code is, as always, available on Launchpad."
