Hey everyone o/
It's been a while since the last Sxmo release! This release
focuses on refactoring, bugfixes, and new device support.
This release brings support to new devices such as the Nokia N900 and
the Kobo Clara HD. These devices differ from common smartphones like the
Pinephone. The Nokia N900 has a physical keyboard, and no multi-point
touchscreen. The Kobo Clara HD does not have any volume keys, and has an
e-ink display.
We worked hard to remove all per-device hooks, and added new environment
variable switches to deactivate features. This way we could improve the
support for different kind of hardware.
Moreover, the Kobo Clara HD, and the Pinenote are e-ink devices, meaning
that the screen keeps displaying things while the device is suspended.
This implies that the state workflow (unlocked, locked, suspended) has
to be different to support those device.
As usual, the community helped to fix bugs, to improve support on some
programs, and to help newcomers. Thanks to all contributors!
I'd like to specially thank Aren all for the work they did recently on
Sxmo, and for packaging on Arch Linux.
As always, remember to run `$ sxmo_migrate.sh` after the reboot to
sync your configs to the latest release. For more info on the
configversion and `$ sxmo_migrate.sh` see the docs:
