Disko 1.5.0 (Default branch)

Disko is a plugin-based framework providing
components to create
media-oriented applications with special user
interfaces on embedded
platforms. It is closely connected to the DirectFB
hardware abstraction
library and specialized in touchscreen and remote
control navigation.
There’s a plugin-based management component which
enables easy
development, customization, and extension of
embedded applications.
Disko has been ported to the TI Davinci platform
together with DirectFB,
and runs on x86, as well. The goal is to have
Disko up and running on
every single platform DirectFB is working on.

Changes:
This release has a new X11 backend, making Disko independent of DirectFB if running on X11. Basic SIP client and flash support was added. There are new widgets and animations. The build system has been switched from make to scons, providing more flexibility.
