Oh, missed a feature:<br>
<br>
--->>> Buttons can now be defined with a RAMP_REPEAT option,<br>
whereby the auto-repeat kicks in slowly at first, and gradually<br>
speeds up as the button is held for a few seconds.<br>
<br>
This is set up by default for the Up/Down keys, so that menu<br>
navigation doesn't happen too quickly, but scrolling among large<br>
lists of videos/recordings is still quick.<br>
<br>
In conjuction with this, the "repeats=nn" module parameter has<br>
been completely removed, and the FAST_REPEAT option has been<br>
set to a higher speed than before. FAST_REPEAT is the default<br>
for the Volume up/down buttons, and one should notice those being<br>
more responsive now than before.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
