0.8.5-1 posted

The testing took a bit longer than I have planned for (testing on more than 10 systems with various kernels and Xorgs isn't always an enjoyment....).

Anyway, the driver is available to download and it has the following new features:

    * Avoid duplicated devices
    * Validate tool type before adding it
    * Use struct input_id and struct input_absinfo in wcmUSB.c
        - for kernel cross version compatibility support
    * Support device names with white spaces in xsetwacom and wacomcpl
        - for hot-plugged devices
    * Fine tuned configure.in

I like it more than 0.8.5, at least :).    Thank you all for your support and patience.

Hi group,

I am afraid I can not keep my promise this time - I am very busy testing a new release.  This release makes the two major features, "avoid duplicated devices and validate device type before adding it" that we included in 0.8.5, more reliable and user-friendly.  If the lack of 64 path doesn't cause too much issue in the next few days, please bear with me.  So, I can post one that is better than 0.8.5.

Thank you for your patience.

Okay I have two quick questions about the 0.8.5 release:

1. What happened to the 64bit prebuilt folder?

Did I miss to fill the prebuilt driver there (I can not access my system now)?  If that is the case, I'll make a new one soon.

2. What happened to the 2.6.31 kernel folder? Building now builds in the
2.6.28 folder. Is this okay? And will the module work for the a 2.6.31
kernel?

2.6.31 path was intended for Graphire BlueTooth support (the code for other models are exactly the same as in 2.6.28). I found Graphire BlueTooth has been supported in 2.6.31 kernel.org. So there is no need to duplicate the work here.
