[LinEAK-announce] Lineakd 0.8 and associated plugin packages.

[Sheldon Lee-W. <to...@ro...>]

Hello,

Merry XMas all... as a christmas present I'm releasing lineakd 0.8beta1 
 
What I can promise is that it won't eat your system or crash randomly. I can 
also promise that there may still be a few bugs, but I'm been using it myself 
for a couple of weeks now. 
 
This release is a large change from the previous releases. It is now based on 
a plugin infrastructure. When you install lineakd it will also install a 
library liblineak that you can use to write plugins. So far, we have three 
plugin packages: 
 
lineak_defaultplugin - This contains the original EAK_ style macros. 
lineak_xosdplugin - This contains the XOSD on screen display functionality. It 
is no longer part of the lineakd daemon, and requires you to have 
Display_plugin = xosd in your config file. All XOSD_ style config options 
have now been replaced by a Display_ equivalent. Update your config files. 
lineak_kdeplugins - This is a package of 5 plugins that support the KDE 
applications: KMix, Juk, KDesktop, KMail, and Konqueror. Not all functions of 
all of those applications are supported, but some common and helpful macros 
are there. 
 
I'll let the dust settle on this for a little while. Enjoy your holiday 
season. 
 
Cheers, 
 
Sheldon
