Last week, meego released a new version of 1.1. install it on netbook. The interface does not seem to have been modified. Blog posted on meego.com, http://meego.com/community/blogs/valhalla/2010/meego-1.1-release. Meego 1.1 core upgrades include:

• Complete meego compliance packages, for ensured compatibility.
• GCC 4.5.0 toolchain, which has des support for the Intel Atom * microarchitecture, and run-time library functions optimized for the Intel ssse3 instruction set.
• Linux Kernel 2.6.35, with support for Intel Atom processor z6xx series family.
• X.org server 1.9.0 and mesa 7.9, for improved 2D and 3D graphics performance.
• Qt 4.7 and QT-mobility 1.0.2, providing a rich set of APIS for creating compelling applications that include location, sensors, contacts, and messaging.
• Qtwebkit 2.1.
• Next Generation btrfs file system. At least in the netbook version, the same as meego1.0)
• Connman Connection Manager, supporting Static IPv6, DHCP-lib, and VPN.
• New ofono telephony stack, supporting the Nokia N900 handset)
• Pulseaudio, supporting call audio functionality on Nokia N900 handset. (Kai: looking forward to N900)
• Gstreamer 0.10.30, with liborc support for improved performance.
• Zypper/libzypp package management.
• Udisks and upower Replace the deprecated devicekit-disks and devicekit-power.
• Buteo synchronization framework and personal information management, based on tracker)
• Devicekit and udev, for interacting with hardware devices.
• Sensor framework, to allow developers to take advantage of platform sensors, such as accelerometers, compasses, and gyroscopes.
• Universal Plug and Play (gupnp ).

For handset: Technology snapshot implements basic development UX for voice calling, SMS messaging, Web browsing, music and video playback, photo viewing, and connection management. But we can see that the meego website is perfect for meego1.2 (2010.4.

After the installation, I found that Yum was not integrated. I rummaged through the repo and recorded it, saving the trouble in the future:

• Http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.1/core/repos/ia32/packages/i586/gpgme-1.2.0-4.12.i586.rpm
• Http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.1/core/repos/ia32/packages/noarch/python-iniparse-0.3.1-2.7.noarch.rpm
• Http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.1/core/repos/ia32/packages/i586/pygpgme-0.1-13.12.i586.rpm
• Http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.1/core/repos/ia32/packages/noarch/yum-3.2.27-13.2.noarch.rpm

Before that, we have been concerned about the version splitting problem of andriod. meego seems to have this sign that it is not feasible to run on different devices at one time. netbbok, IVI and handset are split versions, and handset is divided into arm and ia32 versions. Unlike the iPhone, these handsets have different sizes, which may also cause the trouble of uidesign. Meego is not an aristocratic iPhone and needs to compete with andriod.

For how to install the development environment, see install meego 1.1 SDK.
