| |
| − | [[Numptyphysics]] this great physics drawing game is reborn! Game can be played landscaped, without keyboard and it uses same datafiles than any other numptyphysics-port. (http://www.opkg.org/package_3.html)
| |
| − | upstream news: newer physics engine (Box2d v2.0.1 http://www.box2d.org), scalable window with commandline parameters (so every platfrom will use same datafiles), faster drawing, more levels, action replays (https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=638)
| |
| − | port news: onSceenKeyboard (control-panel), action replays removed (doesn't yet work correct with freerunner), NextLevel-dialog-overlay is non-draggable (so clicking it is easier) ( http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/freerunner/numptyphysics/ )

| − |
| |
| − | First alpha version of a program called Signal Applications To Any (Audio) Network, or, ehm, SATAN
| |
| − | for short... It can be used to create simple music, or just jam on the train, bus or café.

| − | The kernel guys are trying to switch from the "stable" to the stable-tracking branch. The idea is to improve resume/suspend by using a newer 2.6.28 kernel. And to stay closer to Linus's kernel (so that problems are found early and one by one), instead of branching every X months (and having to jump the gap to the new version with great effort). [ http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-November/006238.html around Nov. 2nd]:
| |
| − | * NAND/ECC kernel issues are supposedly solved by [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-November/006279.html this patch].
| |
| − | * Glamo GPIO not working on resume somehow leading to WSOD.
| |
| − | * Warnings from WLAN driver about "warn_on_slowpath" are gone.
| |
| − | * breakage on Accel
| |
| − |
| |
| − | What is coming in the future:
| |
| − | * Improve WLAN latency: On the same wireless network on which the Neo has an average ping of 70+ms, with large excursions, my laptop gets an average of 1.7ms and a maximum of about 5-6ms. (hum, this should go to the trac !)
| |
| − | * The [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-November/006256.html replacement of the Atheros SDIO stack underneath the WLAN driver with the Linux SDIO stack] is planned but not scheduled.
| |
| − | * Jonas Bonn is working on [http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/openmoko-kernel/2008/11/5/3922964 Variable Clock Frequency and Power Saving].
