· This release mainly fixes a bug in the hd44780 driver when driving displays with more than one controller onboard.
· In addition, there are minor optimizations and simplifications in the driver.
· An incorrect scroll behavior in the lcd-linux module was also corrected.
· The HD44780 driver has been heavily optimized.
· The four HD44780 operation modes (4/8 bit with or without busy-flag check) are now implemented as four totally separate functions.
· Modes are selected by way of a pointer-to-function table.
· This results in an extremely short execution time, leading to negligible load on fast computers and acceptable load on very slow processors.
· Minor bugs have been fixed in the lcd-linux module.
· Compatibility with Linux 2.6.26 has been added.
