[Mageia-dev] Freeze push: libmtp

Fri Mar 29 17:19:41 CET 2013

Please submit libmtp 1.1.6 (1.1.5 for now):
+A bug fix and improvements release.
+
+Changes from 1.1.5 to 1.1.6:
+
+- Soname libmtp.so.9.1.0 - binary compatible, new interfaces
+   have been added.
+
+- Devices, devices, devices... I think I had a hundred (no kidding)
+   reports for the Nexus 4. It seems hackers just love this device
+   and cannot wait for me to spin a new libmtp.
+
+- More careful autoprobing code for Linux, running around in
+   sysfs to try to avoid opening non-MTP devices. The libusb devs
+   do not uniformly like this idea but what shall I do? People
+   still want their devices to autodetect. Any hints welcome,
+   any patches will be reviewed.
+
+- Interface extenstions from Philip Langdale to support the
+   Android in-place read/write extensions. This will be used by
+   GVFS for editing files etc, it is actually very useful when
+   treating the MTP device as a "real" filesystem. It only works
+   on Android devices with Google's MTP stack, but hey, that is
+   a fair share of the MTP devices used today.
+
+- Several fixes and memory leaks fixed by Lei Zhang courtesy if
+   the Chromebook project, thanks Google!
+
+- Did you know that Microsoft silently dropped the MTPZ extension
+   from Windows Phone 8? Now you know. Newer Windows Phone
+   devices are reported to work out-of-the-box with libmtp.
+
+Thanks!
