python-gammu being used

In recent days I got two announcement about starting projects using python-gammu. Both of them are GUI applications, so it looks like Wammu will have competitors.

It's good to see that, because I seriously don't have much time for writing Wammu and this will bring users other possibility. And maybe it will push me harder to finally make PyGTK rewrite of Wammu :-).

Let's see how will these projects evolve, but I hope they will be successful.

Wammu in testing

Good news everyone, Wammu has just entered Debian testing:

Subject: wammu 0.13-1 MIGRATED to testing
From: Debian testing watch <noreply@henning.makholm.net>
To: wammu@packages.debian.org
Date: Sun, 14 May 2006 15:08:41 -0600

FYI: The status of the wammu source package
in Debian's testing distribution has changed.

  Previous version: (not in testing)
  Current version:  0.13-1

Website transfered and cleaned up

Main website has been finally transfered to new server. Please be patient while things settle down, as something might be missing. If you miss something or something is broken, please contact me ASAP.

On this occassion I also removed obsolete stuff. This mostly consists of various stuff from my university studies and some photos.

PackTest lives

When I recently found one of forgotten old childs living in dark side of internet hidden under tons of advertisements, I decided to move it back to my server. This step doesn't mean revival of that testing, I just don't want to be connected with that site full of ads :-). So it doesn't really live.

Now I decided that it maybe deserves own domain. So if you want to see what I did more than six years ago, visit packtest.cihar.com.

python-gammu 0.13

python-gammu 0.13 has been just released. New features:

  • Implemented adding of entries even when phone does not directly support that.
  • Error messages are now also unicode objects as they might be translated by gammu.
  • Properly handle locales in case other python module also uses them.
  • Added some examples.

2.8.1 release in demos and snapshots

As we recently started MAINT_2_8_1 branch, which will be used for 2.8.1 release, demo server and snapshots now also contains it.

Additionally CVS is switched back to anonymous service, but SourceForge promises there will be no more than 2 hours delay. This also means that CVS snapshots are again usable as CVS sources after unpacking.
