[Bug 382863] Re: [karmic] Please upgrade libwiimote to 0.4 version

[Artur Rona]

** Summary changed:

- [needs packaging] Upgrade to version 0.4
+ [karmic] Please upgrade libwiimote to 0.4 version

** Description changed:

- There is a newer upstream release available (0.4) at
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/libwiimote/. This was released March
- 10, 2007, so should be pretty stable now. I was able to build it from
- source on jaunty, after applying debian/patches/01_fix_build.patch,
- although really configure.in needs to be patched as well. I have
- submitted a patch upstream that includes configure.in, and attached a
- copy here as well.
+ 0.4
  
- Version 0.3 or better is needed for wiipresent, because it needs the
- function wiimote_pending. Current karmic version is 0.2.
+   * Added support for the classic controller.
  
- It would also be helpful to have this in Debian as well as Ubuntu.
+ 0.3.1
+ 
+   * Switch to autoconf build (Noritada Kobayashi).
+ 
+   * Fixed byte alignment issues, so the library now works on ARM
+     systems (tested with GP2X and E680i).
+ 
+ 0.3
+ 
+   * Support for reading Mii data. See wiimote_mii.h for details (Chad 
+     Phillips).
+ 
+   * Support for multiple local devices. This feature automatically
+     binds a wiimote to the local device with the least number of
+     active connections (given priority to piconet masters when
+     there is a tie). In theory, up to 112 (7 * HCI_MAX_DEV) wiimotes
+     may be connected to a single host, but in practice the maximum
+     number of wiimotes will be a lot less.
+ 
+     By default wiimotes are automatically assigned to a device, but the
+     assignment may be overriden by setting the wiimote->link.device to
+     the desired device number (hci0 is device number 1).
+ 
+     This feature is enabled by default, but may be turned off by compiling
+     with _DISABLE_AUTO_SELECT_DEVICE which will enable the old behavior.
+ 
+   * The wiimote_update() method no longer blocks until an event has
+     been received from the wiimote. To enable the old behavior compile
+     with _ENABLE_BLOCKING_UPDATE,
+ 
+   * Added new method wiimote_pending() to check if there is any pending
+     data from the wiimote.
