Hello all,<br>
<br>
I'm pleased to announce that splashy 0.1.6 is about to be release. A
lot of efforts have been put to make sure that splashy compiles
statically with all libraries, that splashy knows what the resolution
of the screen really is, and that all bugs reported in our bug tracking
system in Alioth have been taken care.<br>
<br>
I've uploaded a test release/package to our Alioth repository [1].
Please test and report bugs in whichever way is more convient for
you. The options are:<br>
1. IRC #splashy on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a><br>
2. email to <a href="mailto:splashy-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org">splashy-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org</a><br>
3. bug tracking system: <a href="http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?group_id=30657">http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?group_id=30657</a><br>
4. snail mail to GNU FSF (i'm kidding!)<br clear="all"><br>
Please note that the package needs directfb-0.9.22 which can be found
in Debian unstable/testing/Unbuntu. If you are using Sarge, the package
works also, but you will need to get the sources for directfb-0.9.22
and recompile the library on Sarge (no patches needed). I have made a
package of it for those of you using Sarge on x86 systems [2]. I
test/code all my stuff in Sarge.<br>
<br>
Long overdue, but, it's here to stay!<br>
Enjoy!<br>
<br>
Note: for non-Linux users, you will have to wait until I can get some
issues resolved. For now, this is meant to be a Linux-only testing
release.<br>
