You should try it. The Flashlight Applet is a great application!

I used the screen before if I needed something to find my way in the night. This works in the most cases. But the Camera flashlight is even brighter.
It's a good idea how the application works. But you shouldn't forget it how to reach it.
Open the Camera shutter, close the Camera application, open the Applet menu and activate the flashlight.

Otherwise you don't see it at the Applet Menu. Thats great, it doesn't waste space... and it is there as soon as you are able to use it.

I have to admit, I'm still using the 0.4-2 release from July 2010. There were 3 updates since July. Have a look here: Package page

I haven't installed the update because the new versions were, as far as I've seen, only different translations. And I was very pleased how this application works. So I haven't seen any reason for me to update.
Perhapse I'm because of this a little bit distrustful what could he change to participate this year.

Perhaps already existing applications should include a list of changes during the competition?

No, this could mislead talented developers to hold back their new applications until the next coding competition. In my opinion is this against the spirit of our community Coding Competition.

Or have I understood it wrong?
