The next release is now out (apologies for the delay - I have been on holiday
for the last 10 days without internet access):
http://aceracpi.googlecode.com/files/acer_acpi-0.9.tar.bz2
This isn't really a "big" release. The changes are:
1) Fixed for older kernels - this should now really, _really_ be fixed for
pre-2.6.20 kernels.
Please note though that I have _not_ added backlight subsystem code for
kernels older than 2.6.20 - I already maintain code for two different kernel
backlight interface versions now, and don't want to start adding more.
(Basically, HAL won't be able to control the brightness on your laptop
directly on older laptops).
2) Added EC support for the following Acer laptops: Aspire 5560, TravelMate
2420 and TravelMate 5720
3) Code clean up & various minor fixes (e.g. errors on brightness read/ write)
