Hey, the new image got released + uploaded and is available as usual via [1]. Most of mentioned/reported bugs within the testing image got fixed.
I think we now have a quite stable basis again - compared to the last image this is a huge step into the right direction regarding cleanups, performance and stability. So for the next image we might be able to focus on features instead of just bug-fixing :) A more verbose changelog is available in the wiki, via[2]. Once again: When using the reflash-script, please always use the latest version[3]. This is especially important in this case, since the rootfs-size got changed, so older versions of this script will not work properly! Happy hacking! :) Cheers mirko [1] http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/software/images/NanoNote/Ben/latest/ [2] http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Official_Software_Image#Image_2010-11-17 [3] http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/software/images/NanoNote/Ben/reflash_ben.sh On Wed, 2010-11-10 at 13:02 +0100, Mirko Vogt wrote: > Hey folks, > > since restructuring the git repository is now completed (thanks a lot to > Xiangfu at this point) and _lot's_ of fixes and updates have been > applied into the git repository since the last image got released, we > now have - guess what? - a new (testing) image[1]! :) > > As last time it's marked as "testing" for now. > > That means, from now on a merge window of 1 week got opened - feedback > is highly appreciated! > > I created a "testing" branch which is based on the commit the testing > image was was built from. > > The idea is to merge over _just_ patches, which fix essential / critical > stuff, into the "testing" branch while the merge window is open. > > That way the "master"-branch will stay open for enhancements and new > features, while we can ensure the testing-branch will not get > accidentally broken but stabilized for the actual release image. > > > A summarized change log of major improvements / changes: > > - heavily restructured git repository to make it more easy to track > changes with upstream > - change rootfs size from 256MB to 512MB > - switch back to uclibc 0.9.30.1, since we experienced issues with > 0.9.32 which are going to be investigated > - all used toolkits (sdl, gtk2, qt4) are working again > - lot's of packages - within the openwrt-packages as well as in the > qi-packages repository - have been updated to fit more the needs of > NanoNote users > - lot's of new and fixed packages have been added to the default config > and therewith image > - the toolchain and SDK are now built by default to simplify > development and cross-compiling / -linking of software > > That's just the major points - lot's of (other) fixes have been merged > into the image, as well as lot's of new software ports. > > For more information please review the git log (since the restructuring, > to get the full picture, relevant commits are split into the master- as > well as in the history-branch). > > Happy hacking! > > Cheers > > mirko > > > [1] > http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/software/images/NanoNote/Ben/testing/2010-11-07/ > > -- This email address is used for mailinglist purposes only.
