Mensys BV is pleased to announce the availability of the ACPI
Package for eComStation version 3.22.01

This product is available for download to all registered users of
Software Subscription Services for eComStation. For more information,
please visit: www.ecomstation.com/subscription/

This version does not have any significant functional changes from
the previous version so you should not see any difference with this
version. However, we would like to know if anything is broken with
this version that used to work in 3.21.07.

The significant changes are:

* Ported entire project to OpenWatcom
* Updated to ACPICA 20130517
* Added FBPR workaround.
* Changed order drivers are called during Suspend/Resume to be consistent.

There has been NO PROGRESS regarding suspend/resume and we still will not
address any tickets regarding suspend/resume until further notice.

This release is a limited install package that does not contain any of the
non-ACPI packages. Therefore, it will only install on an eCS 2.2 system or
a system that has had one of the ACPI 3.21.xx packages already installed.
If you have trouble installing this release because the installer says you
are missing required packages, install ACPI 3.21.07 first, and then install
this package.

More information about the ACPI software package can be found at:

svn.netlabs.org/acpi

You can download this new release from your Software Subscription
Services at the Mensys website. Log in to Mensys with your Mensys
login id and click the Downloads link. Click the "Software
Subscription Services for eComStation" Download link and the ACPI
drivers should be listed.

Sorry for the people who listened to the audio stream and it dropping
out. The device that provided the audio stream was an Iphone hooked up to
the internet via Wifi. In one of the presentation rooms this worked. In
the other room however the wifi signal kept dropping out. Sorry
about that.

The request was made if recordings were made of the audio stream. This
did not happened.  However the presentations will be put online.

On Friday there were about 113 connection attempts  and on average 15
people tuned in during the day. On Saturday we had 40 visitors.

What you should check in particular,

1. Multiple clauses are distinguished
2. Each clauses are marked correctly
3. Cursor is located properly in a conversion string

And if you find any different things about IME-related stuffs from
Windows build, let you know me.

You can get a test version, here
