I have released version 0.21-20081111 of thinkpad-acpi through the
sourceforge.net release system.

Patches are available for 2.6.25, 2.6.26, 2.6.27 and 2.6.28-rc at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117042&package_id=230205

git users can get it directly from tags in:
git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git

This release contains a full backport of the rfkill subsystem from
wireless-testing, as some new code in thinkpad-acpi needs the
rfkill_set_default() function.

The main highlights (previous release) are:
* Rfkill backport of the latest wireless-testing
* Preserve fan state on resume, when it is not dangerous to do so
* Helper patch for Intel IGD backlight control
* UWB radio support
* Preserve WWAN, Bluetooth state across shutdown

The main highlights (new) are:
* New thermal alarms and battery level alarms (depends on EC, not
  available on all ThinkPads)

There were several fixes, so if you were using release 20081019, please
upgrade ASAP.

Please test and report any problems.  Since I only have hardware to test
the rfkill core and fan changes, the UWB and state storage across shutdown
have not been tested yet... so I would also appreciate success reports for
those.
