The only difference from previous version other than rebasing to PR1.1 is that changing desktops by arrows is faster now.

About problems: this is a work in progress, so there are expected to be bugs. I only release binaries that worked for me for some time, but obviously I cannot test everything. I still suspect that at least some of the problems are due to not following installation instructions properly.

For recovery in case of problems:
  • The method I use is a bootmenu + another boot partition. This allows me to restore a known good hildon-desktop in case that I installed one that causes a reboot loop.
  • Another option is to install openssh server before hand, and use flasher-3.5 to enable rd-mode. I expect that this will prevent reboots in case of hildon-desktop crashes, so while you can't actually use the device, you can ssh into it and restore a working hildon-desktop.

I'll be happy if people who find a serious bug and have the patience to work on the bug and a have (or are willing to install) a recovery method contact me by private message or email.


how do we install this new version then?
i want this functionality but dont want to stuff my n900 testing it......
thx
