For Pup 2.14 I plan to support PETs created by anyone, including dependency handling
-- so, you can download a PET package and just click on it to install.
Ultimately I envisage the dotpup package system merging with PET,
so we have just the one consistent package system --
but this is someway off
and needs more planning.
In other words, the goal is simplicity and ease-of-use.

The next release of Puppy[this release] will use XDG for the application menus.
Usually these menus are managed by the window manager,
such as JWM, Fvwm95 or IceWM (JWM is used in the official Puppy).
I have designed a new menu structure/layout, different from that in Puppy 2.13
and earlier, but similar. Our brains recognise patterns, and I wanted a menu layout
which will be familiar and easy to locate the desired application
for those who have used Puppy before. I also wanted to make some improvements.
