14 DAY TRIAL // Following the release of the final version of CyanogenMod 6.0 for some Android-based devices out there, news on a new flavor of the solution has emerged into the wild.
The development (hackers) team is already working on CyanogenMod 6.1, and things are said to be already shaping up pretty nicely.
According to a recent post on CyanogenMod, some database issues determined them stay offline for a while, but they are back with news on the said CM 6.1, which should not be too far in the future.
Those who can hardly wait for the new release should expect for a nice range of new features to be added into the equation, including some aimed at the handset's camera, or better performance levels on their devices.
Here's what a changelog for 6.1 looks like:
- Common: ADWLauncher 1.1.5 - Ander Webbs - Common: Configurable audio focus for music app - Jonas Larsson - Common: APN cleanup (fixes many issues with GPS and MMS) - Cyanogen - Common: Use ARMv6 optimizations for DS/Hero targets - Ninpo - Common: AudioDSP updates - Antti S. Lankila - Common: Status bar themes - Michael Webster - Common: Email app updates - Michael Webster - Common: Selected kernel optimizations - Kernelzilla - Common: EMMC support - Koush - Common: Long press back button to kill foreground process - Evan Charlton - Common: Camcorder touch-to-focus - Cyanogen - Common: Notification "quiet time" - Evan Charlton - Common; Superuser 2.3.6 - Adam Shanks (ChainsDD) - N1/DS - Kernel 2.6.35 based on Pershoot's repository - Supersonic - Kernel 2.6.34 courtesy of Toast and Madcoder - Bravo: Kernel 2.6.35
At the same time, the team added support for more handsets, including Acer Liquid, HTC Wildfire and Samsung Vibrant, but it seems that progress in this area is slow, since they are limited to the phones they own.
They also announced they are looking for new people to join the team, so as to expand the reach of CM to more devices, and underlined the fact that CyanogenMod is open source.
The code review system they put in place enables them to improve the code added to CM. Not to mention that there are nightly builds of CM available for those interested in them. More info on the matter can be found here.
