Hi,
I've just released 0.5.8, download from
http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/dist/hal-0.5.8.tar.gz
and see below for details. HAL 0.5.9 is scheduled for release around
December 17, 2006. Planned features are described in doc/TODO, here's a
link
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=blob_plain;h=a9f009ae787cf03f40a34daf31f118250038f880;f=doc/TODO
This release can optionally use PolicyKit git master for access control.
For 0.5.9, we plan a hard dependency on (yet unreleased) PolicyKit 0.3
or later. PolicyKit will not be optional post 0.5.8.
Enjoy. And sorry about this release taking 6-7 months to do.
David
