I finally managed to make screenshots page on wammu.eu. Now you can see small thumbnails directly on first page and it really looks like screenshots page :-).
Meanwhile also Gammu Phone Database got some improvements, but you should not notice anything there (besides added BenQ manufacturer).
I finally managed to convert Gammu to use standard gettext for localisation. It was quite nice play with regular expressions, but I had to do only few manual edits afterwards.
Now the second part remains - converting of current translations to po files. Anybody has experiences with this?
As soon as conversion is done, you will be able to translate Gammu online at http://l10n.cihar.com.
Yesterday I decided to register wammu.eu domain for Wammu. One of reasons was that almost all other wammu.* variants are already taken by speculants and this name sounds good enough. The other reason is to give Wammu better accessible website. The old URL was not bad, but domain name sounds better :-). Also separate domain will allow later to have different CMS and/or design of Wammu pages, what is something I'd like to see, but don't have skills for that.
So please use http://wammu.eu for linking to Wammu. The old URLs are redirected to new location and they will stay redirected for long.
If there are any problems on new website, please notify me.
After half year (well almost), I passed through all pitfalls of new maintainer process and I became Debian Developer. From all rumours I heard before starting this process, I thought it will take longer.
In fact only lengthy part was three months waiting for my account being created, but I expected it because of many people were busy when preparing stable release.
Thanks to everybody who helped me going through this process.
Maybe it's time to write down what I plan in Gammu in future. Please note that this is not short-term plan (it is unlikely that something of this will be in next stable release), it is just list of thinks I'd like to have in future.
Anybody interested in these steps? Don't hesitate to tell me or write to gammu-users mailing list.
In time when I was working on Wammu 0.18, I realized, that making release not very often is bad thing. You usually get same reports over the development period and telling people that you have fixed it, but not yet in any released version, doesn't make them happy.
As you can see from past weeks, I switched to making releases as often as possible. I will try to add new features quickly after release and then give the code some time for stabilisation (well, this would need a bit more testers than I currently have). I'd like to avoid delay longer than month between releases, if there is something to release (I doubt there will be any major changes in python-gammu in near future).
This time the release is quickly after previous one and I hope it will be better quality than previous one (especially for Windows users). Wammu 0.19 has been just released, list of changes is:
I just released new version of Gammu, you can download it from download server. There is quite a lot of changes:
Today I decided to go through open Gammu bugs and try to fix some of them. There were trying many trivial bugs, which I'm now fixing, the harder ones will there stay for some other time or other volunteer (feel free to take some!).
There are still some issues remaining, but I will go through rest today and tomorrow and make testing release after that. So far ChangeLog length looks quite impressive :-).
Thanks to Rene Peters, next Wammu release will come with tray icon support. I was always too lazy to look how it should be implemented and it turns out to be only few lines of code :-).
Anyway if there is something else you miss in Wammu, don't afraid to ask for it, there is always a chance, that somebody will implement it.
