You might have noticed that modRana V0.19-1 was released a few days ago.

What's new ?
  • multi-mode screen backlight control
    I finally got to implementing this, the different modes are more or less the same as in Mappero. BTW, any ideas for some new ones ? I have used dbus for controlling the screen and more dbus-using features, like pausing the media player (which was proposed a while ago) while espeak is speaking, are planed.
  • street names with Cyrillic characters are now pronounced in Russian
    This wasn't so hard to do after all. Seems to work quite reliably too.
  • navigation is now auto-started by default
  • speed per hour for metric units is now shown correctly
    Finally found the culprit, a malformed condition cause that kilometers were being converted to miles.
  • the last navigation step ("you should be near the destination") is now correctly displayed
  • searching for extremely long roads now works correctly
  • substitution rules for directions (from that special CSV file) should now correctly handle Unicode and actually apply on all routing messages
    I have also added a few new default rules for substituting the Czech and Russian abbreviations for "street".
