ThinkFinger is a driver for the SGS Thomson Microelectronics fingerprint reader found in most IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads.
It's been a while since the last release, but I'm pretty sure it was
worth waiting. ThinkFinger 0.3 is out!

There will be a talk about ThinkFinger on this year's FOSDEM. It will be on Sunday, 25th February 2007, 11:15 - 12:00 in room H.1308.
So, if you can make it to Brussels on that weekend give us a visit.

Many thanks to Stephan Berberig and Luca Capello for contributing patches! (see sf.net comments)
I'm glad to announce the release of ThinkFinger 0.2.1.
Download (Tarball):
* http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=179573
Major changes (0.2 to 0.2.1):
* Unify initialization for all revisions of the fingerprint reader. This obsoletes 'tf-init' and the '--no-init' switch for 'tf-tool'.
* It is now possible to acquire biometric identification records for users which are then respected by the PAM module. See README and INSTALL for details.
* Make 'tf-tool' more robust and error-prone.
* Update documentation (README, INSTALL).
* Many fixes in both, libthinkfinger and tf-tool.

Thanks to Luca Capello for contributing patches (documentation and autoconf).
In the timeframe from ThinkFinger 0.2 to 0.2.1 the project received a polished web site. Check out:

It is the result of the marvellous work of Wolfgang Hafenscher. Many thanks! (see sf.net comments)
Thanks to the wonderful work of Wolfgang, ThinkFinger now has an enviable project homepage. In other news you can expect a bug fix release (ThinkFinger 0.2.1) soon. (see sf.net comments)
I'm happy to announce the release of ThinkFinger 0.2.
You can download the tar ball in the files section of the project on SourceForge. (see sf.net comments)
I just checked in the initial code of libthinkfinger to SVN. It comes with a little example application. Enjoy.
