Here is the Changelog: - fix many errors related to "TypeError" - configuration should not disappear by itself (completely rewritten configuration management code) - various code fixes - major code cleanup (we are almost at the end!) - new option for command-line mode to always accept google events removal (--confirm-google-deletions) - config file of Erminig is now backed-up by osso-backup Known issues: recurrent event are still in bad shape: simple recurrent events, without any exceptions (i.e. holes in the recurrence) will work, but recurrent events with exceptions are still buggy. About the future ----------------- for the next release: - Fix the recurring events - even more code cleanup maybe for the next release: - Contacts sync (at the moment this is a work in progress, which looks very promising) Erminig Pascal Jermini Mon, 25 Aug 2008 6:44:23 GMT [Doom 3 PDA Theme] New blood, new features! http://garage.maemo.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2895 Thanks to konttori from the Theme Maker project (https://garage.maemo.org/projects/thememaker/) and hopefully the help of our newcommer, we will release our first version of this theme.

Des noted on internettabletstalk that standalone MPlayer plays much smoother than within KMPlayer. Since KMPlayer set the vo driver to XVideo and MPlayer defaults to omapfb, an option is added to the Player menu to use the omapfb when the MPlayer player is selected. The disadvantage of omapfb however is that it doesn't update the video if the full screen controls are visible. Also toggling full screen to window mode may leave some video remainings on the menu bar. mtron requested a feature for a favorites play list, wherein streams from worldtv99 list can be copied quickly when watching this list. The full screen control bar has now a button for doing exactly that. The old Persistence playlists is now renamed to Favorites. To save space, the enter button is removed. The hide controls button is gone as well. The former is now achieved by a tap on the text bar. And the latter is now taken over by a tap, move 20px horizontally and release gesture. Thanks to bunanson for a review on the first build and for pointing out some annoyances of the play list behaviour. The lists aren't auto collapsed anymore on selection. Browsing with the full screen controls don't automatically expand groups. Instead one has to tap on the text to expand a group. kmplayer Koos Vriezen Fri, 15 Aug 2008 6:07:21 GMT [Load Applet] New admin and developer for load applet http://garage.maemo.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2878 After almost year of idling it was time to get some help. Eugene just got admin rights to the project and an opportunity to give some attention to this little useful utility of ours that has been collecting dust for too long now. I will (mis)use my position inside Nokia to scout ways to bring new generation of load applet to Fremantle at the very day it hits streets. Or even before, the code is open :) Load Applet Jakub Pavelek Fri, 15 Aug 2008 6:05:47 GMT [Other Maemo Weather] OMWeather - the latest stable release of branch 0.20 is out http://garage.maemo.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2870 New stable version 0.20.6 of Other Maemo Weather is now released.
