Hijack v227 is now released. The changes include:
  • The buttonhack_enabled=1 option no longer exists. If you were using it in config.ini, you'll get an error now.
  • Mk2(a) units now have a menu item for Button Illumination Level. A single combined setting is saved in flash for car/home operation.
  • By default, if the Button Illumination has been turned on in the menu, the buttons will remain illuminated at the lowest level when the unit is in standby. There is no menu item to adjust this level, but you can set it in config.ini using buttonled_off=n, where n is an integer from 0 to 7.
    The jiffies lockup problem seems to have been cured (in v224).  I hearby declare this issue dead, although the debug code is still present in v227 (to be removed Real Soon Now).
    
    But some people are suffering from an HTTP-related lockup, which seems to only happen when there's ethernet traffic to the khttpd_port on the player.  Not sure what's going on there yet, since it never locks up for me.
    

    Cheers
