If you run "upgrade pandora OS", you'll get a larger than usual kernel update.
Ligachamp asked for some USB TV stick drivers, so I've built media_build.git, which gives many media drivers from ~3.16-3.17 kernel release. These now come together with our 3.2 kernel.
There is a new driver for SoC's temperature sensor, I knew one existed inside DM3730, but not about one in OMAP3 so haven't bothered with a driver. It tuns out all of them have that sensor and it works even on CC pandoras, so now there is a driver too (temperature can be read from /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp or using updated Live system info).
Ingoreis gave me a MT7601-based USB wifi stick, so I've added a working driver for it too. Those are also known as Digitus and ED once sold them while they used Realtek chip, but suddenly switched to MT7601 and ED sent them without knowing, until people started to complain as they didn't work. Now we have support for them too.
There is now also a variation of bsp's hack for low latency audio. It's disabled by default as it breaks programs, can be enabled through a call of a function that was patched into alsa-lib. alsa-lib was also updated as bsp reported problems with the old one we were using.
I've done basic testing and it seemed to be ok, but it would be nice everyone could test things they use especially things like TV tuners or wifi sticks. I'm also a bit nercous about alsa-lib update, hopefully it will be ok.
