+After longs hours of improvements and testing latter, the first release is finally here.
+There was also bunch of other development in this 12 day period. So lets go over it.
+
+## MatterLinux 24.00
+![](/assets/2400.png)
+
+With the 24.00 release, MatterLinux now has an official ISO and a release archive. 
+I also published the installation guide over on the wiki. This means you can install 
+MatterLinux right now! Of course, as of now, the repos are really limited, so it's 
+not ready for daily usage, not quite yet.
+
+## Package Tracker
+MatterLinux now has a [custom package tracker](https://tracker.matterlinux.xyz/)!
+It's written in Go, like the web server. It doesn't have a lot of functionality,
+but it provides an easy interface for finding and tracking packages.
+
+## New tools!
+The [tools](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/tools) repository is extended with 
+the addition of the `matter-iso` script, which just a simple script that you can use 
+to build custom ISO images. The configuration for the official ISO images can be 
+find in the [iso](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/iso) repository. It actually took 
+surprisingly long time to get the ISO to work, kernel was somehow unable to find 
+the `init` program. I tried fixing that by supplying the `init=` parameter, which 
+didn't work so I just went ahead with the lazy option and `init` over to `/`. 
+
+## Little Improvements 
+Apart from these, I also made quite a few improvements to the website, packages, infrastructure 
+and to the package manager:
+
+- I reworked the CSS for the website (especially for the markdown content). I think 
+it's now easier to read and overall looks cleaner.
+- I added the `mp-query` command to the package manager, which lets you get information 
+about a specific package in a nicely formatted way. 
+- Fixed compile flags for few packages, including `grub`, which was really unstable as 
+it was being compiled with optimization flags. 
+- XMPP room moved from jabbers.one to a self hosted server (located at matterlinux.xyz)
+- Git server moved from [Gogs](https://gogs.io/) to [Gitea](https://about.gitea.com/) 
+
+## What's Next?
+I will be on a vacation for a couple of weeks and I also have other projects to work 
+on so I will be taking a break from the project. When I come back I will be extending the 
+`desktop` repo, and hopefully when I make the next post, there will be working 
+display server in the repo. 
+
+That will be all for now, see you in the next post!
