mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14496 Loc: Canada	Hijack v461 is released. This version simply undoes the v441 serial port changes. So now, the serial port is shared between apps and the player software again, the way it always used to be. This makes for much easier debugging and the like. It may also break an app or two -- Emphatic (maybe)? Cheers

Mataglap enthusiast Registered: 11/06/2003 Posts: 384	Mark, Is it feasible to consider leaving the control option in Hijack but just changing the default to "player uses serial port"? I guess it will still be overlooked in a lot of trouble-shooting situations, especially by folks who have an app that uses the serial port. --Nathan

No, because Hijack itself does not work fully/properly on that setting. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye. Cheers

Cheers Color me confused. emphatic hasn't been touched in quite a long time, certainly before v441. So, it worked before v441, then in v441 you made some changes, and now you reversed those changes. Why would emphatic now be broken? _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff

Why would emphatic now be broken? Good! I don't use Emphatic (though I should someday), so I just didn't know if it would be affected or not. That's the one app that's important enough to care a lot about here! Cool. Cheers

The AirCable BT adapters would be plugged into the serial port, and Empire would have to listen to that port, but also be able to inject commands into /proc/empeg_notify as usual. If I get around to working on it again we can bring the topic up again. _________________________ Mark Cushman

Just save a copy of v460 for development of the BT-Palantir, then. If/when you get ready for a real release, I'll do something about it in Hijack again. Cheers
