A bugfix release for pommed, fixing a crash when the default beep file is not available. One part of the audio code we’ve reused had a broken error handling, and you know how that kind of things tend to end (badly).
Also, the default beep sound was pretty horrible according to the feedback I’ve got so far, so the default beep sound has changed and another sound is shipped if you don’t like the default (the clicking sound that was in gpomme).
Pommed v1.13 is out and features a couple of new features and a bugfix for a potentially annoying bug.
This release adds support for the MacBook3,1 LCD backlight; turns out the 965GM works pretty much the same way the previous versions did.
Following my previous post on the subject, I’ve added the ability to run a script when the video switch button is pressed. The script is run by the frontend, so you need to have either gpomme or wmpomme running; see the documentation in the INSTALL file for details. Feedback on this feature and sample scripts for the different machines are welcome.
In v1.11, I moved the beep code from gpomme to pommed, making pommed beep on volume change. Not everybody likes this, so you can now turn that off in the config file (beep = no in the audio section).
And, last, the bugfix. Pommed could turn into a CPU hog under certain circumstances; this releases fixes that, and though most systems won’t trigger this bug, you should upgrade if you’re running 1.11 or 1.12.
