[lcdproc] Announce: LCDproc V0.4-pre9

[Scott Scriven]

Hi.  It's that time again...

http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net/lcdproc-0.4-pre9.tar.gz

This version will be the last one which is compatible with the
original client/server spec.  We're working on improvements to
the protocol which will (unfortunately) break past clients.

The next version should be using an updated protocol, and have
a more complete implementation of available functions (such as
client menus...).

But for now, V0.4-pre9 adds some neat stuff:
 * small fixes for irix
 * Added flag in LCDd to shut off server screen:  
 	"-i off" or "--serverinfo off"
 + Wirz SLI driver
 + 16x2 support (server only)
 + MtxOrb generic output support in driver
 * Misc libc5 fixes
 + support for arbitrary display sizes; anything 16-80 characters
   wide, and 2-25 characters tall.  (doesn't work if you try to use
   a display size bigger than your LCD..  :)
 * curses driver looks slightly better (titles)
 * sizes > 20x4 no longer crash

The main thing is support for any display size from 16x2 to to 80x25.

:)
