pilot-link 0.12.2, "Dance With the Devil" aka "Distraction", 02-09-2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 months since the last release (0.12.1) and we have another release! This
one is mostly a maintenance release, but there are some new things in here.
Major Features:
* More cleanup in libpisock and documentation, addition of some new
(working :) BlueZ support, new udev rules, expanded OS5 Contacts
support, expanded OS X support and a lot more!
Other Features:
* No major features in this release, mostly bug fixes and minor
tweaks here and there. The website has also been refreshed with
new content and a completely new layout. All source files are now
version-tracked in the header.
Bug Fixes:
* Python support was broken, fixed now, doh! Palm T|X over libusb
has been fixed (we hope) with this release. Of course we need
testers to validate that. All of userland is renamed now to avoid
some namespace pollution. Documentation is all current with
respect to this release, all manpages are in XML source format
(requires xsltproc to process), and much more.
pilot-link v0.12.1
There isn't much "new" in this release, just some rapid-fire bug fixes
reported from users and a lot of code has been cleaned up in the tree
to remove unnecessary includes.
* Code cleanup in libpisock, libpisync, src and include
* Fixed the installation faux pas with udev rules, oops!
pilot-link v0.12.0
pilot-link 0.12.0 "Trois ans" ("Three Years") is now official.
There have been so many changes in this release and I can't remember
them all, but here's the short list:
* Many of the userland binaries now have new names, to avoid some
potential namespace collisions (dlpsh is now pilot-dlpsh for example,
memos is now pilot-memos). If you use scripts which call these
applications, you may have to make minor changes to accomodate the
new naming scheme.
* Documentation is now in DocBook XML, and manpages are dynamically
generated from that source. Other docs are much more detailed, and
there are quite a few README files that have been added to help.
* Direct libusb support! This is one of the most monumental features in
0.12.0, and should help those who have trouble using the kernel's
visor driver in Linux with their device. Now you can get a healthy
300% to 600% speedup in sync times, depending on your Palm's
processor speed. See doc/README.libusb for details. Thanks go to
Zephania Hull for working out how to get native libusb working with
pilot-link.
* Native support for Mac OS X. You can now just download the tarball
and build it directly on Mac OS X machines, and it will just run.
Thanks go to Florent Pillet for his tireless work in getting this all
working efficiently and for squashing countless bugs in the libraries
along the way.
* So many other fixes, additions, features and new things to count.
