I forbindelse med gårdagens NUUG-møte om Freifunk tok jeg en titt på status for Serval, og ble gledelig overrasket over å se at det er mye som skjer der for tiden.
Siste versjon skal i følge <URL: https://github.com/servalproject/batphone/blob/master/CURRENT-RELEASE.md > bruke mindre strøm: * Greatly reduced power usage, particularly when no peers are present. In previous versions of the software, a CPU lock would be held whenever the software was enabled and connected to a viable Wi-Fi network. This would completely prevent the CPU from suspending, draining the battery in a matter of hours. In this release, Android alarms are used to wake up the CPU, holding a CPU lock for only a short time. While there are still improvements to be made in this area, the software may be able to remain enabled and connected to a Wi-Fi network without significantly impacting battery life. * Bluetooth has been added as a usable network transport. The addition of bluetooth support has the potential to greatly simplify the process of discovering and connecting to other phones. * Better support for more recent versions of Android. Android 5.0 requires that native binaries are compiled in a way that isn't supported on version before 4.1. So we must now include 2 sets of compiled binaries. * Improved user feedback while networks are turning on and off. Noen som har lyst til å være med på å teste bruk av Serval? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen _______________________________________________ dugnadsnett mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/dugnadsnett
