hal 0.5.1 "Sonny...?"

[David Zeuthen]

Hey,

It's been a long time since the last release. Here's another one. No
super exciting features this time, mostly stabilization and various
fixes. And fixing D-BUS and waiting for a release of that. Last few
months been a bit slow; I hope to work more on hal in the future than I
did in the past few months. Download it from
