<![CDATA[<p>This week I finally realized where problem with random crashes in Wammu
and python-gammu lies - python-gammu was using two version of C library
- mscvrt.dll and mscvr71.dll. First one came from Gammu and second one
from Python. Starting with 1.19.0, Gammu is built with mscvr71.dll and
random crashes are gone. Any tester did not report problems with Windows
binary, so I decided to make it finally an official release.</p>

<p>So after year or more Windows users can finally use up to date Wammu
version! Fortunately I can produce this version without even touching
Windows. Thanks to tools such as MinGW and Wine, everything from
compiling to generating installer can be scripted and done automatically
on Linux!</p>

<p>So Windows users can now also download current version from
<a href="http://wammu.eu/download/">http://wammu.eu/download/</a>, enjoy it.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>I just released version 0.26 of <a href="http://wammu.eu/">Wammu</a>. This release
fixes various problems found by users. Full list of changes:</p>

<ul>
<li>Various attempts to make Windows version back to usable state, but it
is not ready yet as there are quite random crashes in python-gammu on
Windows. Anybody with knowledge of python modules on Windows who is
willing to help is welcome.</li>
<li>Dropped GNOME Bluetooth (btctl) support, it crashes too often.</li>
<li>Fix icons size to be all 16x16.</li>
<li>Fixed crash when D-Bus can not launch notification service.</li>
</ul>

<p>There is still no working binary for Windows. I don't have time and environment for
maintaining them. Volunteers are welcome!</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>After half day of playing with Wine, MinGW and friends, I managed to be
able to automatically build Windows versions of both python-gammu and
Wammu. However I do not have environment to actually test these
versions (except for Wine), so I would really welcome if some Windows
users could do some testing. I expect some strange crashes at
beginning, but hopefully we will be able fix it to produce working
Wammu version for Windows in future.</p>

<p>You can get the installer here:
<a href="http://tmp.cihar.com/wammu-0.26-setup.exe">http://tmp.cihar.com/wammu-0.26-setup.exe</a></p>

<p>It's NOT final or stable version, but as the only changes which
happened since last release were either minor or related to cross
compilation, it should be equal to combination of Gammu 1.16.0,
python-gammu 0.24 and Wammu 0.25, so don't be confused by versions.</p>

<p>PS: Okay, when application works in Wine, it does not mean it will work
in Windows, see <a href="https://bugs.cihar.com/view.php?id=463">bug report for details</a>.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>When Ubuntu announced public availability of Personal Package Archives, I
thought it might be good to use it to provide up to date Gammu related
packages. After successful registration I uploaded Gammu package and no
reaction so far, so I'll wait.</p>

<p>However this memorised me that I wanted to use OpenSUSE Build Service for same
purpose some time ago. I filled in registration and as I didn't receive any
email about being accepted, I absolutely forgot about that. Now just tried to
log in and it works. So you can now have access to latest Gammu, python-gammu
and Wammu packages for most recent RPM distributions (Fedora 7, Fedora 8,
Mandriva 2006, Mandriva 2007, openSUSE 10.2, openSUSE 10.3, openSUSE Factory,
SLES 9 and SLE 10). I could not test them so any feedback is welcome :-). You
can find all packages on <a href="https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3ANijel">overview page</a> or directly in <a href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Nijel/">download
folders</a>.</p>

<p>Playing with spec files after long time was quite painful, but I got to it after I managed
the hardest thing - how to make build dependencies which will work on all
these distros.</p>

<p>I hope I will be able to announce similar service for Ubuntu users using PPA,
but now I have to wait for some reaction on my source uploads.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>I just released version 0.24 of <a href="http://wammu.eu/">Wammu</a>. This release brings
improvements in device searching, support for notification on incoming call
(you need python-dbus for this) and various minor GUI improvements. Full list
of changes:</p>

<ul>
<li>Notifies user about incoming calls using D-Bus.</li>
<li>Remember default type of created entry (eg. phone/SIM memory).</li>
<li>Newly created entries contain some reasonable fields by default.</li>
<li>Fixed validation of editor fields.</li>
<li>Improvements in guided wizard to make it easier to use.</li>
<li>Clever searching over Bluetooth based on manufacturer.</li>
<li>Searching can be really limited to some connection types.</li>
</ul>

<p>There is still no binary for Windows. I don't have time and environment for
maintaining them. Volunteers are welcome!</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Wammu just got one of long wanted features - notification on incoming calls.
It uses D-Bus and <a href="http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/">Desktop Notifications</a>, so you are probably lost without
some modern Linux desktop. The implementation was quite easy, if I would know
that using notifications is so easy, I would have written this sooner :-).</p>

<p>So if you have phone connected to <a href="http://wammu.eu/">Wammu</a> and somebody calls you,
notification pops up and allows you to accept or reject the call. I doubt
anybody needs more than this :-).</p>

<p>The next step will be SMS notifications, but those will be a bit more
complicated.</p>]]>
