This I think is great news it looks like Nokia saw the 770 os2007 support fiasco and knew it would be best to avoid it. As much as people complain IMHO Nokia is doing a great job learning from mistakes.
Gentlemen, reach for your compilers...

Yeah, there's another API break, but this is completely understandable and necessary when you realize how old GTK on the N800 is and that it will make porting newer applications so much simpler.

It was sort o' confirmed here by Quim Gil last week if you were following the "advocate" thread... >>> http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...7911#post57911
- Aapo Makela couldn't answer on 2007-03-30 in which release was his fix applied. Last month we announced maemo 4.0 Chinook and the following releases Diablo and Elephanta. You can ask back in your bug report and the developer should be able to tell you in which relase the fix is implemented.

Followed the first link and didn't find this. What's the big deal with these? New features/abilities? Is there a site somewhere addressing this? Also, any ideas on a timeline?

Gives the general gist of things. Not too sure about the timeline.

For example, the new Internet Communication Suite and the Mozilla-based browser are the first signs of Chinook (AIUI).
Similarly, under-the-covers, Gtk will be upgraded to a newer version, allowing for better eye candy in the UI.
