I have released version 0.14-20070701 of thinkpad-acpi through the
sourceforge.net release system.

It is available as patches against Linux 2.6.20.14 and 2.6.21.5 at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117042&package_id=230205

This is a major update release, with exciting new functionality:

	* Input layer support (HAL will really like this)
	* Radio switch support
	* "tpb" hot keys support on recent ThinkPads
	* autoload based on DMI tables

It is also one I would really appreciate some comments on, because this
stuff is going to ship in 2.6.23 and needs to be sent to upstream soon.  It
changes the way userspace should deal with thinkpad-acpi hot keys (unless
you configure thinkpad-acpi into deprecated mode at kernel compile time).


Release Name: 0.14-20070701

Notes:
This release has non-backwards-compatible changes,
make sure to read the documentation, and pay attention
to the changes in Kconfig.

* thinkpad-acpi now favours the input layer over ACPI
  events.
* the radio switch in *60/*61 models is now supported.
* the "tpb" hotkeys are now natively supported in recent
  thinkpads (using interrupts, instead of polling the
  nvram every 200ms).
