Notes:
======
These are the release notes for LCDproc 0.5.7, the next stable version of
LCDproc.

This release features several new HD44780 connection types for use with LCDs
designed for the Raspberry Pi. See below for a brief list or the file
ChangeLog for a more comprehensive one.


Fingerprint:
============
SHA1 (lcdproc-0.5.7.tar.gz) = eacc65c5f16237beb18b3cdb4835ba0a57f5f811


Known bugs:
===========
 - If vBars are used together with ICON_BLOCK_FILLED on the same screen and
   that icon is implemented as a custom char, it sometimes is replaced with
   a non full block from the vBar. Affected drivers: IOWarrior, CwLinux
 - On Solaris the mtc_s16209x driver fails to compile. Configure LCDproc to
   exclude this driver.
 - The lcdproc client currently ignores errors from the machine dependent
   functions. This may result in strange behaviour of the screens or core
   dumps.
