Hi,
new stable qtmoko release v31 is now out. You can download images for SD card 
and NAND flash from sourceforge [1] and sources from github [2].

QtMoko is distribution for Freerunner based on debian rootfs and qtopia phone 
stack and GUI. For more info please see [3] and [4].

Changes since previous version:

- fixed invisible call button in finximod theme (Joif)
- translated to French (Gregoire Juge)
- updated Danish translation (Ole Carlsen)
- better layout in docked keyboard
- commented completion strip in docked keyboard
- VT not switch to graphics which fixes X hang in VT_WAITACTIVE (Gennady+Me)
- fix QX crash after pause/resume
- using openssh-server instead of dropbear again

This is first "stable" release based on kernel 2.6.34. I think nearly all 
regressions to andy-tracking 2.6.29 are fixed so i will tag last commit with 
2.6.29 support and will merge 2.6.34 support in master.

Docked keyboard (the one suitable for terminal) is now much better. It has 
same layout as in SHR, which means you will have cursor keys on main screen. 
The completion strip was IMO quite useless and wasted only space so it's now 
disabled.

As for the VT fix (or hack ;-) it's now possible to use any X server with QX. 
So you can install full xserver and use it instead of Xglamo which is default.

So happy new year!

Regards

Radek

Well done ! 

As to the keyboard: I really appreciate having arrow keys there (because
of command history in Terminal). 

If you hit the very left key in the second row, another  keys
(end,home,arrows..) shows up - but the same keys ale already in the
default keyboard, so now they are present twice. 

What about replacing these by F1-F10 keys?

BTW ... I§m the only one having difficulties using USB host mode in v31?

Zb.

Hi Radek
I don't have any comment on v31 in general as I haven't tried it very 
long yet. I though have some comment on the Danish translation as it 
looks like some of the files doesn't get build, primarily those with 
'Qtopia' in their name and I think there are some 7 files missing as I 
did translate 88 but there are 'only' 81 in the folder.

I will probably do some testing now and return in the new year. :-)
