Cyanogen 5.0.6 Released!

[Duvi]

As luck would have it, I was doing my first root/custom mod last night and just realized it was for the newest version released.

* Merged AOSP from Google as of 3/31/2010
* Ability to move installed applications between internal storage and SD (from Chris Soyars)
* Added libncurses, lsof, irssi, htop, bash, nano and powertop.
* Added option to disable USB Debugging notification.
* 5 column launcher drawer (from Kmobs and ChrisSoyars) - can be switched back to 4 column in Spare Parts
* Animated GIF support in the browser (info from Google)
* Updated translations from Eug89, RedVirus, and ThiasB
* Yahoo mail can be used over wifi (from Invader@AllDroid)
* Kernel is now built from source and installed properly by the Android build system (from Android-X86, tweaked by Wes Garner and Chris Soyars)
* New camera features (antibanding, focus mode, jpeg quality) from CodeAurora
* Battery percentage meter fix from ChainsDD
* Fixed some bugs in Dropbear and added dropbear-keygen to generate host keys
* New ARM NEON optimizations for Bionic from ARM and 0xlab (0xLab - Jim Huang)
* Audio gain tweaks from Pershoot
* Kernel 2.6.33.2
* Launcher can auto-orientate now (enable in Spare Parts) - not really all that pretty but it works
* Fix the Google backup transport. If you are doing a no-wipe install, run "bmgr transport com.google.android.backup/.BackupTransportService" in a shell to get it enabled.
* More bugfixes from AOSP contributers (Gerrit Code Review)
* Sexied up Nexus LWP from WootRoot and jeagoss with more colors, background, and trackball lighting
* Added wireless-tools (iwconfig and friends) to the build
* Reverted bcm4329 wifi driver to older version
* Added option to set a system-wide http proxy server (this should really be a per-ssid setting though)
* Allow Bluetooth in airplane mode (needs settings db update if installing w/o wipe)
* Added some sounds back
* Added trackball-unlock option from Kmobs (this conflicts with the music skip option)
* Fix for the red/pink camera tint bug!! (from HTC/Google)
* Number keys work on the vk in the Terminal app again (from Jack Palevich's Google Code project)
* Added 5-minute screen timeout option
* Potential fixes in build.prop to improve 3G speed on N1 - YMMV.
