Daily Snapshot Review 14 April 2008

Today's image doesn't add too many noticable updates over recent
images. X stability, however, has improved on today's rootfs to 6 out
of 6 boots working.

I filed a new bug today
(http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1345)
because I noticed that my SMS messages weren't matching the contacts
in my address book. A discussion on IRC indicated that
openmoko-contacts expects the international formatting (+) that very
few people in the US, Canada or Mexico would know, let alone enter
into their contact list without instruction. Furthermore, even with
instruction, many people would be uncomfortable doing this.

My recommendation today is that people upgrade to the latest images.
That would be today's rootfs
