V. 1.2.2 EDIT: Fixed a bug that appears when using a mono-type ALSA control paramter.
V. 1.2.1 EDIT: Version 1.2.0 (and probably back to 1.1.0) had a bug that broke the OSS interface. The version 1.2.1 code fixes it, so please use it. A new flit.tcz extension file has been submitted to the official repository. I hope it is released in the coming week or so.
Hello. I've been working on some updates to Flit at the urging of forum member mavrothal that make Flit more usable on One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) XO-1 laptops, and perhaps others too. (Thanks to mavrothal for suggestions and testing the new features!)
The first new feature in version 1.2.0 is scalable sizing for the Flit applets. If you have a high-resolution screen and you would like the applets to look 50% bigger than normal, you may edit the .flit.conf file to use a new zoom factor of 1.50.
The second new feature is OLPC X0-1 specific battery state of charge display and time remaining estimation. This is in addition to the previous ACPI capabilities, so if you don't have the XO-1, you won't need to change anything... detection of either X0-1 or ACPI battery information is automatic. If you want to save a few bytes, you compile Flit without the X0-1 support.
Note that if you are still using Flit 1.0.0 from the official repository, we added ALSA sound-level support in the 1.1.0 version, which was never officially released in the TC repository.
I am not current on how to build .tcz extensions, especially with the new TC 2.11 support for freedesktop standards. Is there another forum member who would like to help me make a .tcz for submission for the official repository? Let me know.
