After almost two years of public development (and another year behind the scenes), we are proud to announce our first point release of Kali Linux – version 1.1.0. This release brings with it a mix of unprecedented hardware support as well as rock solid stability. For us, this is a real milestone as this release epitomizes the benefits of our move from BackTrack to Kali Linux over two years ago. As we look at a now mature Kali, we see a versatile, flexible Linux distribution, rich with useful security and penetration testing related features, running on all sorts of weird and wonderful ARM hardware. But enough talk, here are the goods:

• The new release runs a 3.18 kernel, patched for wireless injection attacks.

• Our ISO build systems are now running off live-build 4.x.

• Improved wireless driver support, due to both kernel and firmware upgrades.

• NVIDIA Optimus hardware support.

• Updated virtualbox-tool, openvm-tools and vmware-tools packages and instructions.

• A whole bunch of fixes and updates from our bug-tracker changelog.

• And most importantly, we changed grub screens and wallpapers!
