As I already complained, spammers seem to like my phone database. It has not been a major problem so far, but I started to get about ten invalid records per day.
This forced be to find automatic solution to get rid of this. Inspired by recent article on root.cz, I wrote simmilar solution as is used on php.vrana.cz. It should not harm regullar users who have javascript enabled, others will have to fill in one extra field.
Wammu 0.16 is of course available in my debian repository and on next dinstall run is should be in official repositories. Thanks to fEnIo for quick upload!
At same time as python-gammu has been releases, I also made available packages for new gammu and python-gammu releases in my private repository. The gammu differs a bit from official version as I found ugly bug in AT driver just after the release.
Official debian packages will be available as soon as my sponsor uploads them.
During regullar review of additions to phone database, I noticed that some people tried to add spam and links to their sites. I'm not going to add any further restrictions on database, but to make spammers life a bit harder, I added logging of IP addresses which I'm going to block if they attempt to add some links.
Fortuntely spam volume is htere low enogh to be still handled manualy.
As it already appeared on Gammu wiki, I consider it official. I'm happy to announce that there is another python-gammu based open source application to manipulate your phone. It is called gMobileMedia and it is focused on multimedia data stored in phones.
It's nice to see that somebody else is actually using my Python bindings :-).
Okay the release I promised will be delayed as I didn't manage to rewrite editor widget fast enough. Right now I have the editor itself working, it only needs some code cleanup and implement returning of value. After this "minor" thing will be implemented, you can expect new version, what will hopefully happen this week.
I'm going to fix last remaining bug marked for fixing this evening and release Wammu 0.16 after it. So if you have any problem with Wammu and want to have it fixed in next release, it's best time to report it.
I decided to split Wammu site to several pages. The one page seemed too large so this was logical step which I wanted to do for a long time. I hope there are no broken links or any other broken stuff.
This is a bad day. I'm bad guy because I don't have web pages about Wammu in my native language, I hacked absolutely useless CSV import code in phpMyAdmin. What comes next?
I would make bilingual pages if I'd have time for that, but I will rather write new feature in Wammu than spend time on this.
And I know export is not perfect, everything can be improved and you are welcome to do that!
It looks like anybody didn't notice that it is not possible to login to bug tracker. I didn't because I use permanent login and nobody didn't tell me.
Anyway I just upgraded Mantis to 1.0.5 which fixes this issue, feel free to report bugs :-).
