Gammu 1.25.91 is out! The changelog is short, but all changes are quite interesting - thanks to Iain Hibbert we now have support for Bluetooth on other BSD variants and I spent time travelling around Spain in trains by writing documentation and ...

Welcome to brand new website for Gammu, Wammu and related tools. It has been written to concentrate all related content in one place and create single entrance point to anything Gammu related. If you want to know technical details, it is built using Django and you can find it's code in git repository. I hope you will love it.

While being on DebConf 9 I managed to do some work on Gammu, the famous tool for getting access to data in cell phones. The greatest feature of this release is reducing memory consumption by 800 MiB. Other code changes are much smaller, but there is ... [More] also another important change - I now use Git for development, you can git clone git://gitorious.org/gammu/mainline.git. Full list of changes: Fixed getting firmware revision on AT phones (bug #951). Added support for home/work mobile number (bug #952). Fixed handling of error response for security status in AT. Fixed segfault on systems with very low memory limits. Development now goes on in Git repository, please check README. 6510 driver now dynamically allocates memory for file caches, what reduces Gammu memory usage by 800 MiB. Added testcases for AT+CNMI replies. Fixed range parsing in AT engine. Added reconnect support in PostgreSQL driver in SMSD. Gammu debug level no longer can be controlled separately in SMSD. Fix loop when Nokia phone does not allow to access files (bug #954).

After losing some data from svn, because I just did not have the latest backup and I only had data in local copy, I decided to finally migrate to Git. For now the repositories are hosted on gitorious: Gammu Wammu Ukolovnik The svn server will ... [More] stay there for some time, but I want to get rid of it in future. PS: Translations from Pootle are now directly commited to separate Git repository under user data which he used to register in Pootle. I'll merge this repository time to time to mainlines. [Less]

Well I really love these automatic test and "rewards". Today, Wammu has just received the "Windows 7 Compatible" award on ForteDownloads.com. Wow. But as far as I know, it has some problems on Windows Vista with permissions and I doubt it will be better on Windows 7. Is anybody actually using these systems? I don't.

It looks like Gammu has just got new nice user - Kalkun. It is simple web based application built on top of SMSD tables (in MySQL mode) and looking at screenshots, it looks really nice. So we finally got nice user interface for SMSD!

I finally find time to make another release of Gammu. This time there are major changes in SMS decoding, especially for recent Nokia phones, what should fix several problems seen with previous code. Besides this there is usual bunch of bug fixes. ... [More] Full list of changes follows: Fix code problems caught by GCC 4.5.

Yesterday I finally found some time to analyze all filesystem message dumps for Nokia phones. I always hated way Gammu used to decode these messages, because in most cases decoding was almost same function just with added some random offsets. After ... [More] some time looking into the dumps, I finally came out with description of the format. It it still not complete, but it allowed to simplify the code a lot while fixing bugs with some messages previous solution did not catch. Now I hope I did not miss anything and new code will not introduce new regressions. [Less]
