Hey,

HAL 0.5.7.1 "Unmaintained piece of crap" is now available from

http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/dist/hal-0.5.7.1.tar.gz

This is a maintenance release focusing on compatibility with kernels
later than Linux 2.6.17. Not a lot of changes, so the upgrade for most
vendors (with their own set of patches that already made it to hal CVS
HEAD) should be smooth. Please upgrade soon, as Linux > 2.6.17 will
break HAL due to changes in sysfs layout.

Also, HAL 0.5.8, with lots of bug fixes and new features, should be out
soon now but may not be suitable for updates to some distributions
because of newly introduced dependencies in CVS HEAD. Hence this
maintenance release.

Changes from HAL 0.5.7 "Dead as Dillinger":

- Backport fixes from HEAD to cope with sysfs layout changes in Linux
   kernels later than Linux 2.6.17 (Kay Sievers)

要使用最新的 hul-dbus-udev 系统我们的需要更新很多东西，但是当初 kanker 说 kde 3.5.x 不能和最新的 dbus 配合，目前看，使用我们目前的 hul-dbus-udev 并没有遇到什么问题。我们会在时间允许的情况下尝试更新，但是不保证没有问题。
