Gammu

As there were some problems with Wammu 0.18 on Windows, I'm going to release 0.19 this week. The only new major thing will be more comfortable editing of recipients of SMS with support for loading and saving. If you have some time, please test curent snapshots and report any found problems, so that we can have perfect release this time :-).

I just added to Wammu support for SMS recipient lists. For now there is no interaction with possible lists in phone, but you can create and save your own lists. Lists are saved in plain text files, one phone per line. I guess such list will be easy to create from any application. PS: I hope this feature won't be used for SMS spamming :-).

Now I'm in state when I'm deciding what to put to next Wammu version. This is always hard, because I don't get any feedback from most of users. I sometimes find note in random forum, that user wants dock icon. Anyway I'd really appreciate some ... [More] feedback in bug tracking system. Write there features you would like to see or post comments to existing reports, that you want to see this feature. This will help me to choose which one to implement in upcoming Wammu version. You can see what I've chosen for now in bug #252. [Less]

After long development, Wammu 0.18 has been just released. New features: Better setup.py to use more of distutils. .mo locales are generated on build and not included in VCS. Show only existing devices on Windows (this requires pywin32). Now ... [More] requires wxPython at least 2.6.2. Support for reporting in Gammu Phone Database. Automatically asks user for feedback after month of usage. GUI more follows HIG on target platform (button placement). Add wildcard search possibility. Use gammu configuration for phone connection instead of own. Yes you read it correctly, here finally comes Wammu with configuration wizard and talkback to phone database! Besides this huge change, this release will make also Windows users happy, because it finally contains current python-gammu and Gammu. [Less]

python-gammu 0.19 has been just released. New features: Fix crash on wrongly configured locales. Added suport for SendFilePart.

I just released new version of Gammu, you can download it from download server. Changes to latest testing version are relatively small: Added include paths to MSVC configuration files. Support for sending file to phone (--sendfile). Russian ... [More] translation update (Acid Jack). Fixed possible uninitialised value in date decoding (Stanislav Brabec). Fixed reading of contacts from Samsung. Fixed vCard handling for Siemens (bug #72). Stay tuned, release weekend will continue ;-). [Less]

I still more and more think, that I should move out of Bazaar to some more maintained piece of software for version control. The biggest problem I currently see, that I was not able to convert by Bazaar repositories to some other format. I tried to ... [More] convert to Bazaar-NG by booth BzrTools and Tailor, but none of them succeeded, then I tried conversion to Git, but Tailor failed also on this task. Maybe I will try Subversion, which is now very widely used software, although it has some annoyances. I originally wanted distributed VCS, because I was often offline at home, but this is not the case anymore, so using centralised VCS on my own server should not be a big problem. [Less]

Yesterday, I hacked last part migration to new Wammu configuration scheme (Wammu now does not have separate configuration to Gammu, but shares it) together with brand new [configuration wizard]. Before I release all those major changes as 0.18, I'd ... [More] like to have some feedback what this change breaks. There is lot of new code within this release and I'd really like to avoid releasing 0.19 shortly after this just because some stupid error. So if you have time, please download snapshot and try to work with it for a while. Report found problems to bug tracker. Thanks! [Less]

Wammu now finally has initial support for Gammu Phone Database. I talked a lot about this and now I finally wrote some code for it. It allows you to fill in values in program, all basic information (phone manufacturer and model, connection type), are ... [More] automatically prefilled from what Wammu already knows. The dialog itself is more or less a copy of same web page, as you can see on following image: [Less]

python-gammu 0.18 has been just released. New features: Cleaned up build system. Support for crosscompilation using MinGW32. Compatibility with current gammu releases and CMake build system.
