[linuxwacom-announce] New 0.5.0 release available.

[John E. J. <je...@j-...>]

Summary: New beta build 0.5.0 available.  The online HOWTO now addresses
both serial and USB users, all known tablets, and even covers some
FreeBSD issues.  Beta testing is greatly needed so we can start moving
forward with the configuration capabilities.

Details:

The new 0.5.0 release is available from SourceForge here:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69596

This code reworks a lot of USB code and has some major changes for
Cintiq users as well.  If you have the opportunity to beta test, I'd
appreciate it if you could run this stuff through the paces.  There were
a lot of changes, very fast, and I'm only marginally confident that I
got all the patches in correctly.  Actual use should determine that
fact.

Many people have asked for a Serial HOWTO to compliment the USB HOWTO. 
I couldn't fathom maintaining two, so I merged them both into one. 
Hopefully, it won't be too confusing.  Several expanded sections, but
mostly just clarifications based on questions that people wrote in
about.

Thanks for the support!
