Actually on the Dev list they announced they were switching part of the backend toolset dependacy program. And then they were rebuilding the apps in the Extras-Devel so that those apps that didn't need the new dependancies could/would work properly on the Pre-1.2 phones. So a ton of apps that used to think they wouldn't run; are now tagged properly as running on pre-1.2 phones.

This is to make things more compatible for those who don't upgrade (when it is released) and because no one has a clue when 1.2 will be released. Since we upgraded the "toolchain" in anticipation of 1.2 coming out soon (so that we would have lots of 1.2 compatible apps) and so far it has been a disaster of a move because 1.2 has not shown up and so everything was being "blocked" in Extras-Devel since no one could even install/test the "new" versions. Now their is only a "minor" number of apps that are blocked since 1.2 does have a new QT and libhildon. But otherwise the rest of the apps are now free to move to Testing and finally just plain Extras.
