[lcd4linux] lcd4linux 0.9.9 released!

[Michael R. <re...@eu...>]

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
