Okay, Hijack v222 is out. 
  •  slightly improved "lockup messages".  These now say stuck jiffies 5 or unstuck jiffies 8.  The numbers will change, but they provide important information.  Please report them here if you ever see either of these messages.

  •  the Reboot Machine menu item now remounts all drives read-only before rebooting.  This has been missing for a while, and I finally remembered to implement it.  The remote "REBOOT" command (FTP,HTTP,/proc) has had this since day-1.

  •  the bugfix for the jiffies reset is not included yet, but it will be in v223 later on.  I suspect this will fix nearly all player lockups, but we'd like to collect a little more data first.

    

    

    Upcoming features (sometime in March'2000):

  •  ir_translate capability for Sony Stalk (this one's been simmering for a while, as I'm still not 100% sure how to present it, and have been distracted by the barbarians pounding on the gates).

  •  The jiffies bugfix

  •  Tuner ID detection at power-on, plus a menu extension to make use of it for AC/DC override.
