Homebrew Channel v1.0: lots of new features

Homebrew - Homebrew Channel v1.0 - Image 1Team Twiizers has released the latest version of The Homebrew Channel for all Wiibrewers out there. This time they opted to call it v1.0 instead of Beta 10.

They jam packed a lot of new features in there, since they probably won't be releasing another version for a while. Well, this is only technically true since a few bugs have been found since its release. Don't worry though, they've been fixed.

According to the comments section of the release over at HackMii, marcan is still looking to fix a bug concerning ethernet. Here's the changelog:
  • meta.xml now handles all ISO-8859-1 characters properly (you can use either UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 encoding, but UTF-8 is restricted to the ISO subset)
  • Wiimote power button support (shutdown)
  • Wiimote rumble honors system setting
  • Fixed some crash bugs
  • Fix meta.xml UNIX style newline regression
  • All wiimotes work now, not just the first one (only one can point at a time though)
  • Classic Controller support
  • Nunchuk support (scroll only, using the stick)
  • Guitar Hero 3 guitar support
  • Left and right change pages too
  • Hit 1 on Wiimote to retry the network connection (like clicking on the network icon or Z on the GC pad)
  • Added information to the installer
  • Fixed some networking issues with networking disabled (and possibly other bugs)
  • Pushed in some text to avoid overscan crop
  • Widened video width to match system menu (”black bars” fix)
  • B returns from app screen (unless scrolling with B-hold)
  • Try to initialize network earlier (slight speedup)
  • Retry network initialization a few times
  • Fix a networking issue (libogc problem)
  • Reload stub now identifies itself (magic number, for future use)
  • Support broken HTTP proxies in update check
  • Show IOS revision in main menu
  • () -> * (Hint: old-school Wiimote support needed what? Try it both ways.)

Hey thanks PSPMAN. The update came in while I wasn't in the office so I wasn't able to post it yet. I'm just clearing through my backlog and I'll post it in a bit ^^
