I've released today the first release candidate of HAL v0.5.12 and a snapshot of hal-info (20081127). You can get the sources here:
- http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.12rc1.tar.bz2
- http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-info-20081127.tar.bz2
More information about the changes since the last HAL version (v0.5.11, released 2008-05-08) and the last official released hal-info package (released 2008-05-08) can you find here.
For openSUSE 11.1/Factory you can find packages in my openSUSE Buildservice Repository.
Please test the packages heavily and carefully. Please report bugs (no features get included until the final version, as already announced) to the HAL mailing list or via the freedesktop bugzilla.
