eComStation market is changing, new users need books and tutorials.
eCo Software support service published the 3-rd brochure (russian text):
- Frequently asked questions. eComStation drivers: ACPI, JFS, Panorama, USB.
(Photo) The books are aimed at users and companies which have many computers and should solve different problems in short time.
The books play important role in the development of eComStation market:
- we can advertise eComStation via book shops (it's impossible promote eCS via TV, there are banners in the Internet already)
- this increases the turnover of resellers (extends selection of goods - good addition to eCS box and electronic shareware soft)

Forget about your daily tasks, move to Dusseldorf in the end of the May! Developers Workshop 2008
- What is successful conference?
Good presentations + hot discussions + and.. *Report* from the conference. Who is ready to play the role of the reporter? Are you ready to get interviews, make photos and collect comments? It's very important to distribute the information about the results of the conference among all users and developers.
- Do you have a report for other developers? For example,
- you can make a review of modern technologies which are needed in eCS
- prepare a review of coming technologies: USB 3.0, IPv6, etc.
- which new node applications should be created? (so other developers can create plugins for this node applications)
- Seems that Mensys team is going visit the conference too (Mensys is responsible for the development, assembly and delivery of eComStation). Do you have questions to Mensys?
- Do you have remote control to make presentations? Central Remote Control supports AirClick

Uniaud for HDAudio is released.
Current tickets
v1.9.2 is now available:
http://download.smedley.info/uniaud32-1.9.2.zip
&
http://download.smedley.info/uniaud32-1.9.2-debug.zip
uniaud16.sys from Uniaud 1.1.4RC5 is the recommended version
From the readme:
This build of uniaud32.sys has the ALSA code level based completely on ALSA
1.0.16. Uniaud 1.1.4rc5 is based on ALSA versions ranging from 0.9.x
through to 1.0.14. The aim is to provide a version of Uniaud based on the
absolute latest ALSA Code - this is a stepping stone on the way to that.
This will become Uniaud32 2.0 once we feel that it is stabilised and offers
improved support for Audio than Uniaud 1.1.x
Due to the backlevelling of some code - some sound cards that currently
work with Uniaud 1.1.4rc5 may not work with this build.
Specifically, due to compilation issues, the following backends are NOT
supported:
- emu10k1 (aka sb live) - linux code loads the firmware from a local
drive in later ALSA versions - this isn't working yet on OS/2
As time permits, support for these will be reinstated.
The source is now in SVN and can be browsed at
http://svn.netlabs.org/uniaud/browser/GPL/branches/uniaud32-2.0
Changes since 1.9.0 (25th March release)
- Fix hardware sample rate setting
- Add ACPI support for determining IRQ (Hopefully fallsback to old code
on machines without acpi.psd)
- Various tidyups
- Bump version to 1.9.2 (1.9.1 was used for internal test versions)
Thanks to all those testers who have provided feedback on the 1.9.x
releases that are based on ALSA 1.0.16!!!
All feedback is greatly appreciated, particularly any improvements or
deteriorations compared with Uniaud 1.1.4

and you need it for modern notebooks (2004 and newer)
- Panorama VESA benchmarks
- Mensys published "Panorama VESA Heavy" in BETAZONE
(it includes IBM GRADD, so you can install Panorama VESA over VGA)
Collaboration with other developers:
- Robert Lalla updated widescreen activator (March 2008),
now it supports ASUS EeePC
(v0.70 contains additional support for Intel G3x/P3x memory controller;

10. DevCon
eComStation is needed if there are useful well-designed applications.
The developers should release 20-50 medium applications to enforce eComStation in 2008.
To simplify the development of new applications
eCo Software is going invest into the development of new PM-controls,
templates and libraries.
