Before we start, my thanks go out to sztupy and 6Fg8 for their amazing tools, without them this port wouldn't have been possible. Another big thanks goes to ChainFire for his amazing CFC GUI which saves alot of storage space.

Thanks also go out to xbmod for his work on the VGA port of the new manila which served as an inspiration for this port, and to

Captain_Throwback

who has helped me with testing (WM6.5) and cabbing up the package.

While xbmod's vga port was a great feat, it did have some shortcomings since it was based on a beta version. We have all waited a long time for a new version, but since xbmod wasn't able to continue his work, I decided to give it a shot myself. This port was not easy, alot of hours have been spent trying to port the layout to VGA. But it's finally getting ready to be released.

This release will not be perfect, the first release will also have limited landscape support, but the new v2.1 manila is a great improvement in terms of stability and performance that make it worthwile.

Main new

features

of v2.1 over v2.0:

- New add push page dialog: you can enter your own push page manually, no longer needed to first add it as a bookmark to opera (see screenshot below)

> Also, now a warning will pop up when enabling push page (extra data transfer etc.)

- Calendar auto-adapts to regional settings: calendar now starts on monday if your regional settings are right (see screenshot below)
