I would appreciate it everyone can try out 0.5 - test2
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bitpim/bitpim-0.5-test2-setup.exe?download
Please email this list with any problems you find.
There are no known problems with this. I intend to release it
as the official 0.5 build if none are reported.
The only gotcha is I recommend you uninstall 0.4 (or earlier)
first. If you don't you will end up with rwo entries in
Add/Remove programs (one for 0.4 and one for this). The program
group entries also end up "merged". I've fixed this issue from
this version onwards.
The readme and version included in the distribution is uptodate
and you should read it.
Changelog since 0.4:
- If you change the comm port while bitpim is running, it will actually
pick up the change (in earlier versions you had to exit and restart due to a bug).
- If mode transition fails, you now get a helpful dialog explaining possible steps
to resolve.
- Files in the root directory in filesystem view are now listed
- Files are displayed in the wallpaper and ringtone view in alphabetical order
- The wallpaper and ringtone index files are somewhat cleaner, although the phone
still misbehaves if you delete an entry on the phone (this is a bug in the phone
and happens no matter what tool you use)
- No more than 30 index entries are added for the wallpaper and ringtone indexes
(the limit of the phone)
- Added a guid in the installer setup so that previous versions are uninstalled
correctly. It is recommended that you uninstall versions before 0.5 before
installing 0.5 to keep your add/remove programs entries clean.
- Wallpapers and ringtones are written out in alphabetical order
- bitpim now has an icon
- We now send a generic initialization command. This allows the filesystem view to
work on other Brew phones (AudioVox 9500 and Motorola T720 are known to work). The
wallpaper and ringtone stuff should NOT be used on these other phones.
- If you add an entry in the phonebook, the label for that row is now updated when
you change the name.
- Ignore the files Windows dumps in the bitpim directories (thumbs.db, desktop.ini etc)
- Update to wxPython 2.4.0.6
- Changed field sizes in status bar so that they are less likely to truncate on
smaller screens
- Group strings are now read from the phone
- Pressing enter in phonebook moves selection to the right rather than down
- Updating log text and protocol log is now down in an OnIdle handler. This means the
user interface remains usable even when large amounts of logging happen. Feel free
to watch as much logging as you want when you want
