A new release of brltty is being planned for early in the new year. A major
effort in recoding has taken place so that brltty truly goes idle when it has
nothing to do (the screen hasn't been updated, no controls on the braille
device are being used, etc). This should go a long way to minimizing battery
drain on laptops and mobile devices.
In light of this major code change, would each of you who can please build
brltty using its latest development code, and test it using as many
communication methods (serial, USB, Bluetooth) as you can with as many
different braille devices as you can. This will help us find and fix as many
problems as possible within the new code before the actual release.
