Stable release of Community SSU OS updates for Maemo 5 and N900

Via: @Jaffa2

Editor: Andrew Flegg

Christian Ratzenhofer has announced that the stable branch of the Community SSU for Maemo 5 has been created. He says the stable CSSU had been mentioned on the forums about 3 weeks ago, and I'm happy to announce that it's finally here! [...] We're trying to achieve an as close to stock Maemo experience as possible in terms of stability. The stable CSSU contains those packages from testing version 16.8 which were deemed stable. Basically nearly everything but modest/tinymail and the camera-ui replacement.

This is a big day for Maemo 5, where end users can now be encouraged to install a community-maintained version of Maemo. The "testing" branch will continue, and braver users can help everyone by using that and helping report bugs and assess packages' stability.

Incredible Circus game for Nokia N9

Via: @Jaffa2

Editor: Andrew Olmsted

MoRpHeUz blogs about a new game available for the N9 called "Incredible Circus". InDT have released a game that I’m really proud that is called “Incredible Circus”. It’s the kind of game that is really addictive. In three weeks we achieved 200k downloads on Nokia Store and today is available for the N9. It’s also a really good showcase for Qt.

Your editor just installed the game today and it is fast, fluid, and fun. The graphics and style are excellent and the game play is very smooth. I haven't had a chance to play past the first few levels, but I have enjoyed what I have seen.
