I tried updating the changelog a bit, I'm just a bit unsure about version maemo10 as it is mentioned pretty much nowhere on the forums and bugzilla, so if one of the dev's could shed some light on it that would be great.

I don't think maintaining the ovi store is really a long-term concern.

this is a bigger problem, imo. can we get a mailing list through maemo.org or do we need to take it to a google group or such?

Some have been. Read up. Documentation welcome at http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU, or GUI editors of transitions.ini.

There's no way to close the open window(s) if it's in portrait. Sure, you can end the task with the power-button and select "End current task" but other than that you can't just close the window.

The other one is the fact that we can't use the text-field in portrait either, though that's assumably by purpose (since we can't use portrait-vkb either).

Could these be fixed or is MicroB closed-source?

Ummmm... There's a portrait/landscape qwerty/T9 vkb out already. And has been for a while. It's called FastSMSEvo in the repositories, or something like that. It uses the FastSMS keyboard, and it requires you to have FastSMS installed, but you never have to actually use said FastSMS.

And you can use the text fields in-browser when in portrait (either by sliding out the keyboard just far enough to reach the keys, or with the aforementioned portrait vkb). You just can't use the URL text bar - though that might be what you meant.

I agree with you on the MicroB UI in portrait mode. That's one of the few things that personally annoyed me about the decisions of those working on the N900 - give a stripped version of the MicroB UI in portrait instead of a full one.

Oh, and to answer your question: MicroB is basically Firefox with a different UI. It uses the Mozilla Firefox engine (open source) but the user interface (basically everything you see when you use/interact with it) is closed-source.

Just to chime in and say that I updated to the latest CSSU release at lunchtime, and as with previous releases I have encountered NO issues. Everything is running as expected.

thanks.

Just found out about this today. Why ws I not informed?????

LOL just kidding.

Can't believe I only just spotted this though. Must be loads of people that don't know this thing exists. It is very understandable what the first poster was trying to ask/find out when they just discovered something important was going on. Looks like something very interesting and gives hope for the future with all the microsoft stuff going on with nokia, and the possibility that meego might not be what we all hoped.

Just have to figure out how to actually install this and test it now....
off to read more.
