Gammu

I just released version 0.29 of Wammu. This release fixes various problems found by users. Full list of changes: Fixed handling of call entries with multiple dates. Handle phones where writing entry to SIM card takes long (bug #682). Properly skip ... [More] corrupted entries (bug #467). Added export of messages to XML (thanks to Florent Kaisser). Properly report failures when importing backup (bug #303). Add --info command line option to show connection info (bug #426). Add --debug switch to enable debug output to stderr (bug #426). Sign Windows binaries. This release also comes with binary for Windows with embedded Gammu 1.21.0. [Less]

It looks like I again did same mistake with Gammu and python-gammu binaries - they started to crash randomly. It was again caused by fact, that they were linked to two C runtime libraries (msvcrt.dll and msvcr70.dll). I should make some automated ... [More] check for this to avoid uploading so broken things, but I don't know any command line tool which can list DLLs which are required by exe and which works on Linux (Wine is okay too). Anyway the binaries has been just recompiled and uploaded, so if Gammu or python-gammu crashes for you, please download new version. PS: Thanks to Olaf Leidinger, now I know how to check it automatically: /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin/objdump -x filename.exe | grep "DLL Name" [Less]

Good news everyone, after long time of inactivity and huge development over past month, new stable Gammu release is out. Since 1.20.94, there are only minor fixes in handling some corner cases in AT parser, but full list of changes since last stable ... [More] 1.20.0 is quite long: Handle properly empty SMSC (bug #722). Disable AT/OBEX for Motorola K1v (bug #721). Automatically switch to nodtr connection if DTR/RTS setting fails. More verbose debug messages in API. Free phone data after testing model to avoid memory leaks. Properly handle if IMEI is too long (bug #709). Try to handle situation when CMGL does not list all messages. Fix typo in MySQL file (bug #716). Better parsing of USSD replies (bug #718). Properly restore caller groups on Nokia 2630 (bug #706). Fix listing of used calendar locations on Nokia (bug #710). Properly encode class and coding to SMS (bug #714). SMSD for MySQL no longer fails when sending message (bug #715). SMSD stores signal and battery state in PostgreSQL. Properly handle multiline firmware information. Fix crash when decoding EMS pictures (bug #549). Motorola phones sometimes reply in UCS2 instead of HEX (bug #712). Use native functions sleep/usleep if available. Improve FBUS initialization sequence. Fixed reading for ringtones from Nokia 5510 (bug #529). Do not crash if ringtone name is too long (bug #529). Fix possible crash while reading of messages using AT. Increase timeout when writing SMS message (bug #596). Cleaned up issues with reading from Bluez (bug #670). Fixed Windows binary (define properly MSVCRT to use) (bug #683).

Yesterday I faced problem with VMware server that it can not run 64-bit guest system. I'm using 64-bit SUSE and 64-bit VMware, so it should work, right? I can select 64-bit system in VMware, but the guest is simply 32-bit without any error. In ... [More] documentation, man can find only "VMware Server supports 64-bit guest operating systems only on host machines with supported processors.". How helpful! After a bit of googling, it turns out that VT needs to be enabled and usually it is not enabled in BIOS (any reason for this?). So let's reboot, go to BIOS, enable VT and it should work. Unfortunately not, after reboot, still same problem. I was almost given up at this point, but I decided to recheck BIOS, whether I really enabled the right thing. Yes I did, but I did not notice small note, that to apply this setting, I need to power off and on the computer. That was the trick! Now it finally works. I just wonder why it has to be so complicated... [Less]
