Besides all technical discussion:

The best changelog I have ever seen:
  • separated in sections
  • separated in nokia items and maemo.org items
  • direct links to bugzilla

That really is a big step again for Nokia in the right direction to work with the community!

No such changelog can be seen for android or iphone updates.

That's why I buy a maemo device - not only because of current hardware or software features.

I buy it because bugs can be adressed, viewed for everyone and finally adressed to a offical release.
That's socialising a device in the community way.

Absolut great job.

Creating that changelog is absolutly worth.

I would also like to thank for changelog in wiki. There was even diffs. Amazing i would say First time i have seen this kind of information from phone company.

Still i have to say that putting warning about that its not possible revert back to old firmware would make it even better.

Here's issues i have noticed so far:
*The quality of recorded video from n900 has definitely gone worst. the zooming has got little smoother i guess but not quite there yet. I tried to get video information from the MediaInfo software I have in my laptop but it displays nothing but just the size of the file but for videos recorded prior the update, it shows all infos.
*Mediaplayer widget in the desktop doesn't respond to play button.

These are what I've noticed so far and 'll keep adding as I encounter. However, loved the web auto rotate thing.

The music player is no longer Mutlitasking ....!!!! if you minimizing the music player and click the multi-tasking button.. all you see is the frozen thumb nail of the music player from the time you minimizing it.

This is ridiculous... youtube still muti-tasking but not as smooth any more. And where the heck is Flash 10?

In my point of view firmware 42.11 is much better comparing to the performance of this 51.1 firmware. The only good thing with this firmware is... the MS Exchange 2003 is now working just fine.

1. Install 'rootsh' package (you need to connect to internet over VPN to install rootsh)
2. Open X Terminal
3. Enter 'sudo gainroot'
4. Enter 'mv /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script.dpkg-dist /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script'
5. Create file '/etc/maemo-dhcp.d/60_vpnc'
6. Add the following code in /etc/maemo-dhcp.d/60_vpnc:

Code:
#!/bin/sh -e
if route -n | grep -e "^0\.0\.0\.0" | grep -q tun0; then
    route -n | grep -e "^0\.0\.0\.0" | grep $interface | awk '{print $2}' > /tmp/vpnc_route
    ip=`cat /var/run/vpnc/defaultroute | cut -f3 -d' '`
    if [ -z $ip ]; then
        killall vpnc
    else
        if route -n | grep -e "^0\.0\.0\.0" | grep -q $ip; then
            route delete default $interface
        fi
    fi
fi
7. In X Terminal enter 'chmod +x /etc/maemo-dhcp.d/60_vpnc'
8. Reboot the device
I haven't upgraded yet, so I would be interested in knowing whether de-installing vpnc before the upgrade to 1.1, and re-installing thereafter would solve this problem. Or would one have to add the above /etc/maemo-dhcp.d/60_vpnc anyway to make PR1.1 compatible with vpnc_0.5.8-0m5_armel.deb?

This package seems to be in need of a fix, but it also seems to me that this package is not take care of really by anybody (two weeks ago I filed a bug report on this package at garage.maemo.org, which did not produce any response). That's rather unfortunate as there seem to be quite a number of people depending on vpnc to connect to a Cisco concentrator at their work place.
