> 
> First of all kernel fixes from Gennady deserve big credit. Finally after years 
> you should not see any white screen. Watching videos in qvga and rotating X 
> server now works flawlessly. Thanks!
> 
> Kernel sources with current .config can be found on github [5]. Updated 
> instructions for building are in rootfs howto [6].
> 
> You can now watch youtube videos from Arora web browser. Nice howto is here 
> [7]. There is currently problem that mplayer cant handle flv files. I think this 
> is due to changes in youtube videos format, because it worked with apt-get 
> installed mplayer before. But you can download the video and encode it to mp4 
> in qmplayer right on the device.
> 
> QtMoko should now save AGPS data before GPS is switched off (e.g. after you end 
> NeronGPS). After GPS is switched on, it will supply those stored data and you 
> will get fast fix. AGPS data is stored in /var/cache/agpsdata.
> 
> Bluetooth headsets can be now used for both audio and GSM calls. GSM calls 
> needed fix because of kernel bug. The fix is userspace program gta02-gsm-bt-fix 
> by Gabrys and is started/stoped when handsfree connects/disconnects. There is 
> problem that you must have incomming call first. If you make outgoing call 
> first, you will have no audio. This should be fixed in newer kernels but we dont 
> know fix for 2.6.29 kernel used in this release.
> 
> A2DP (bluetooth audio) support works too but with some glitches. You need 
> headset with A2DP support. After pairing press "Supported services" from 
> bluetooth device context menu. New button "Connect audio (A2DP)" should then 
> appear. Sometimes it fails to connect. For me it help putting headset in 
> pairing mode, restart phone and then the button works. If you make the 
> bluetooth audio device default it will work in all alsa programs, but expect 
> problems e.g. with GSM calls. If you dont make it default GSM will be ok. 
> However only QMplayer can detect it and use it now.
> 
> Other changes should not need more explanation, but if you would like to know 
> some details i will be happy to answer questions.
> 
> Thanks for everybody who helped with this release. I hope you'll like the 
> changes and new features.
