Lanterne 0.5.9 is now making its way up into extras-devel. This version features an option to lock the screen when the camera cover is closed. Also, the UI has been tweaked a bit, particularly the Morse Code panel; I've moved the dot duration control off to the preferences panel, and moved the rest of the UI around a bit, to provide a little more space for entering text.
Please tell me what you think, and as always, watch out for bugs!

Ok, I put a copy of version 0.5.10 in the first post in this thread. (I don't currently have a clean copy of the 0.5.11 deb, as I've been messing with Lanterne lately; I'm hoping to have a new update out at some point...)

I'm a little nervous about mentioning anything here, as I'm trying something I've never done before. I have no idea whether it will work. I may have to just rip it out of the code and go back to the baseline Lanterne...

Lots of pieces of the Qt UI are working; most of Qt Widgets work just fine (and even support Android theming to a limited extent); and QML is getting close to complete functionality. But Qt is still isolated from the standard Android UI components: you can't use the layout system, you can't access the Action Bar, you can't create standard Android dialog boxes or use the "toast" mechanism. For me, the most annoying item is that Android's screen hierarchy works in a manner almost identical to Maemo's stackable windows, which is something I use pretty heavily in Pierogi. I hate having to ditch that part of the UI when it should be able to work right out of the box...
I've been trying to squeeze Pierogi into a new UI, with one main window and a lot of dialog boxes. I've managed to cobble together a Qt dialog box that looks a little like an actual Android dialog box, and put together a fake action bar at the bottom of the window. Hopefully, I'll be able to get something usable put together soon...
