I've uploaded new binaries. Additional changes are:
. sort platforms in the drop down box
. "Hungarian" Jornada 680 is renamed to "European" (approved by almost
two years of silence, and the fact that the layout array is
identical to what my "European English" #ABB unit observably has).
. fix a "keyboard only navigation" bug: it was impossible to tab out
of the Console dialog if serial console was enabled
. recompiled under Japanese locale, so hopefully Japanese strings
should be shown correctly now
A note for hpcmips folks: if you don't use hpcboot.exe to boot netbsd,
this version will continue to not work for you ;).
Since 2.0 release is going to happen soon, I'd appreciate if you can
give this new version a test before I commit it and request a pull up
to 2.0 branch.
TIA
SY, Uwe
