I know two things that could be referent to this:
* A new property in the .desktop files: X-Maemo-Category (for example in the control-panel this property is Main).
* maemo-select-menu-location is deprecated now, and it does nothing.

Autobuilder for Fremantle now available. If you have packages uploaded in Diablo extras-devel please follow the discussion in maemo-developers since they might be uploaded automatically to the Fremantle extras-devel repo (and see how many of them build).
Also, I have started a list of Fremantle early ports, trying to offer the most relevant/illustrative link for each of them. Many point to posts to this very same thread.
Also good to see that Fremantle app news and screenshots are starting to spread: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/n...to-maemo-5.ars

Does anyone know how portrait/landscape mode will work (see http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Maemo_roadmap/Fremantle which links to https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644)? Will there be a 'default' or 'preferred' mode? With other mobile devices, portrait is the default mode.
How will dialogs work in portrait? The big OK button on the right-hand side will take up even more room in portrait, so do they automatically move to the bottom of the dialog or similar?

Landscape is the default mode, as previously. Applications can provide portrait mode, if it is necessary. Dialogs do look different in portrait, as far as I remember.

Thanks, I should have read the bug more closely to see that landscape was the default. It would be good if developers were encouraged to support portrait, at least, e.g. with a style guide giving help about how to lay out apps in the different orientations.
Does anyone have any portrait screenshots, esp. with dialogs?

Maybe not so interesting, but here's some screenshots of Leafpad running in Fremantle

mikkov: Interesting how the drop-down menu looks mis-aligned, and "Find and Replace" goes outside the button. I wonder why?
