I know the stable cssu has been mentioned on the forums about 3 weeks ago, and I'm happy to announce that it's finally here!

So what is the "stable" cssu?
The stable cssu is meant for all those people who didn't want to install the cssu because it happened to break stuff from time to time.
We're trying to achieve an as close to stock maemo experience as possible in terms of stability.

What is in the stable cssu?
The stable cssu contains those packages from testing version 16.8 which were deemed stable. Basically nearly everything but modest/tinymail and the camera-ui replacement.
The exact packages + minor changes to those packages can be found on the changelog page for the stable cssu http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/ChangelogStable

What features does the stable cssu support?
Since there are most packages from 16.8 it supports most features 16.8 has, nevertheless there is a dedicated page with all supported features listed: http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/FeaturesStable

Installing?
If you've got cssu-testing installed you most probably don't want stable anyway, if you still want to, a reflash is needed prior to installing cssu-stable.
Any other candidates follow the instructions on http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU#Installation

Where did the orientation-lock applet go?
Since several people complained about the orientation-lock taking up space whilst not beeing needed, it can now be installed as a seperate component.

What happened to my transistions.ini?
Since the cssu introduces several new options to the transistions.ini the installer overwrites the existing one, but a backup is kept in /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transistions.ini.precssu

How does the future of the stable cssu look like?
The plan is to incorporate updated packages from testing whenever they seem to have reached a stable status.
Since the dev team can't possible test all cases we rely on the community to give feedback on the releases in testing.
Every friday @ UTC 17:00 I will try to be around #maemo-ssu on irc.freenode.net to go over the current packages in testing with everyone who is around to voice his opinion.

Where is the source of the stable cssu?
Just like for the testing cssu the source can be found at http://gitorious.org/community-ssu every component that is in stable has a branch stable which is up to date with the current version in the repo.

We hope that everyone will be pleased with this new branch of the cssu.
