Okay, v85 is out at http://rtr.ca/empeg/

This version has:
-- working implementation of /proc/empeg_notify, with the small exception that I forgot to fix the name, so it still shows up as /proc/empeg_no instead. That will be fixed in v86 in an hour or two. To use this feature, you have to add the [output] notify=1 lines to config.ini

-- If you want to supress actual output of notify=1 to the serial port, then also specify [hijack] block_notify=1 in config.ini. Note that this will also block the silly "dhcp" messages that stream out when no ethernet is connected on ac/home mode, but should not block anything else (or anything at all from a userland app).

-- There are some new #ifdef'd (disabled) menu entries in the source code for poking around at /proc/empeg_notify from the front panel.

-- the screen blanker now treats "100% sensitivity" as "100% minus one pixel", so that it will work with the "Info: Track" screen in beta7 (with the blinking dot).

Enjoy, and let me know if anything is still broken.
