Sony Reader Linux sources updated

Thanks to eagle-eyed Vienna01 for informing us that Sony has quietly updated the Linux sources for their Reader. The only visible difference:

old: USBTG_EBOOK4_20060801.tgz
new_ USBTG_EBOOK4_20061205.tgz

I invite you to compare the two packages and to tell us exactly what has changed.

Nice! I guess that means we can expect a firmware update pretty soon.

When I went there it said "PRS-500/U update (20070131)" so maybe its a few days late already.

THe USBTG code is the target driver that handles the USB port when the Portable Reader is communicating with a PC. The change is to optimize out code that isn't needed on the PRS (but was possibly needed on the LIbrie.)

Hopefully the proprietary software got some modifications as well.

I certainly appreciate Sony releasing the GPL source in *advance* of the firmware release, rather than months/years/never like some firms.
