The main reason is that my company for the last months have been working on a new embedded IrDA stack. The stack have been ready for some time now and does in fact also run on Linux (user-space). For those interested, I can give you a few details about the new stack: o IrDA (primary/secondary) o Ultra o IrTTP (SAR) o IrCOMM (client/server) o IrNET (user-space IrNET, does not require syncppp kernel support) o IrOBEX (PUT/GET folderbrowsing) o Support for USB dongles (4Mbps) and most serial port dongles o Runs on *any* Linux kernel version, *any* distribution, *any* platform o Very small footprint and code size. Is only a fraction of Linux-IrDA (written from scratch, new improved design ...) o Static memory allocation (does not use malloc) o ANSI-C (stack is not tied to Linux in any way) o User-space, single executable for all features This new stack is not open-source and not free of charge. Currently we only license it to other companies so they can use it as part of their own products, but we might provide an end-user version in future. Anyway, it looks like Linux-IrDA is a competitor for this new stack in some areas (Linux), which makes it very hard for me to continue developing for Linux-IrDA. Developing for two IrDA stacks with two different licenses is also difficult, and I have now in fact stopped using Linux-IrDA myself simply because I prefer to use the new stack instead. I will still be around reading the list etc, but I'm afraid there will be no more Linux-IrDA hacking ... PS. Linux-IrDA will always be open-source, so keep on hacking!!! Thanks for all the good times!
