Upcoming App Releases for 2.11
I wanted to let you guys know what I'm working on for the 2.11 release. According to iRex, everyone with shell access will be able to unbrick after downloading 2.11. This means that software that modifies the root file system will no longer be off limits. I've finished packaging the following programs. I'm waiting until 2.11 is released before I'll post links. If anyone who has unbricking support installed would like them sooner, PM me and I'll send you a link to the download.
I'll take a look at some other apps I've ported in the past to make an easy installer for. I could probably get gpe calendar/contacts/todo working without too much trouble. Does anyone else have something they'd like packaged as an easy installer (like FBReader)? Any registry hack requests? |

Seeing that you're about 4,200 Miles away, and I've never left North America, I don't think that'll likely happen soon. But if it does, I'll be sure to let you know.

Likewise for the UK, Adam. If you ever visit here, do let me know and we'll have a few beers together. You're the "star" of the Iliad firmament!

Will FBReader or any other open source reader support Epub in the future ? I know that some open-source readers for Epub are available on Linux: it should be possible to get Epub support on the iLiad too.

Adam:
I'm afraid some of these will need modifications for 2.11, especially if they do something with the registry. We've moved away from the INI-style registry to an XML registry. As soon as you get the beta, you can do some testing. |

Just saw that FBReader added initial support for Epub in its latest version. Anyone tried reading Epub on the iLiad yet ?

Matthijs: I guess it is an idea to make the registry-reading a bit more failsafe? So that if a user messes up his registry the content lister reverts to a default, or something... to avoid bricked iliads

Hehe, that would be a good idea. Who likes a bricked iLiad anyway?
EPub format on the iLiad would be very good. Could you update the your port for the iLiad Adam? |
