I'm glad to announce the release of ThinkFinger 0.2.1.

* Unify initialization for all revisions of the fingerprint reader. This obsoletes 'tf-init' and the '--no-init' switch for 'tf-tool'.
* It is now possible to acquire biometric identification records for users which are then respected by the PAM module. See README and INSTALL for details.
* Make 'tf-tool' more robust and error-prone.
* Update documentation (README, INSTALL).
* Many fixes in both, libthinkfinger and tf-tool.... read more

Thanks to the wonderful work of Wolfgang, ThinkFinger now has an enviable project homepage. In other news you can expect a bug fix release (ThinkFinger 0.2.1) soon.

I'm happy to announce the release of ThinkFinger 0.2.

You can download the tar ball in the files section of the project on SourceForge.

I just checked in the initial code of libthinkfinger to SVN. It comes with a little example application. Enjoy.
