Well, finally....
It's my birthday. Not really today, but two days ago. That's when I
decided to release 0.9.9.
It's been almost two years since 0.98. Lots of things happened. Lots of
other things didn't happen.
I got ESR's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar". I read "Release often,
release early". I will to so.
what has happened to lcd4linux in these two years:
* new version number scheme:
0.9.9 instead of 0.99
the next release will be 0.9.10
* moved documentation to web page
there are no more README's. All the documentation is
on the web page. Have a look at it! Comments are welcome!
* virtual rows, scrolling
you can control more rows than your display has. And scroll them...
* DVB client
If you've got a digital satellite card, you'll like this one:
display "Signal Strenght" and "Signal/Noise Ratio" on your
Home Theater PC. Looks cool. Really.
* parallel port abstraction
you can use any wiring you like (lcdproc, WinAmp, ..) Just
tell lcd4linux which wires are connected.
* gcc3 issues
and automake issues. and include issues. and other issues.
* sensors factor and offset
needed e.g. for my EPIA board (the HTPC!)
* new drivers:
* Mitsubishi M50530
* USBLCD
* Toshiba T6963
* MatrixOrbital LK202
* Cwlinux CW12232 CW1602
I hope you like it!
bye, Michael
