OMNewRotate 0.5.8 is out!

I’ve just released omnewrotate 0.5.8 which integrates Tim Abell’s improvements to rotation sensitivity and I’ve added some code so it is smarter about detecting the paths for setting the brightness level while rotating which changed in more recent Linuxs (2.6.32 and beyond, I think).

As I’m running SHR-Unstable, your mileage may vary but it’s likely it will work 🙂

As usual, the download links are at the project’s Google Code site for omnewrotate (see the featured downloads section):

SHR-Unstable users should only need to upgrade (later today, or in a day or so).

Enjoy!

  • @glynmoody yes, we need another platform. One that’s more “traditional” GNU/Linux stack (WebOS is made upon OpenEmbedded, like !freerunner) #
  • Or like !freerunner mostly is (nowadays, #SHR only, perhaps, since h:1 and Debian are, well, Debian :)) #
  • O #concurso #ilegal para o novo #magalhães já tem vencedores e não são surpresa: #Intel #Microsoft #JPSaCouto #Prológica #
  • @leinir: I honestly forgout about #meego, you’re exactly right… sorry. #
  • @glynmoody: the most popular “linux” phones (Android) almost only use the kernel Linux and then an almost proprietary stack. #
  • Porque é que considero o #concurso do novo #magalhães #ilegal? A saber mais tarde (não prometo para hoje, mas incluirá o doc dos requisitos) #
  • @gbraad: totally forgot about #meego don’t hit me more, please 🙂 but I’d still say WebOS was more popular than N900, in sales. Am I wrong? #
  • @glynmoody: which is why I said I think we need more stacks with traditional GNU/Linux APIs available (in answer to your article) 🙂 #
  • ♺ @zoobab: 5.000.000EUR for violation of a software patent: http://ur1.ca/xweg #
  • @glynmoody: oh, not necessarily, I’m biased but I’d prefer OpenEmbedded with !SHR and !FSO 🙂 #
  • Last call: alguém vai aos Mão Morta hoje à noite e quer aproveitar para jantar pela Baixa? #
  • De qq ds formas, autoestradas pagas sob use/pay é um insulto à minha pessoa, há milhares de km de não uso e os meus impostos contribuiram. #
  • Para além de serem mal geridas como a merda, 400 km de alcatrão podiam ser refeitos num fds se contratadas 20 empresas a fazer 20km cada. #
  • Como é que a A1 está tantos anos em obras? 🙂 #
  • Sentado quase nas grades que separam a plateia do palco onde vao actuar os Mao Morta. Esta quase… espero q o Adolfo nao corte a perna 😉 #
