Changelog
moblin-applets (0.55-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
- FFe bug is #181150.
- Repack without .git or debian directories.
* Add in CDBS patch system.
* Add a small patch to use libmokoui2, and change Build-Depends accordingly.
moblin-applets (0.55) hardy; urgency=low
* Background Applet Upgrades
* Vast improvement of the load time for the backgrounds applet
it now takes 29 seconds to load 3275 images, which means that
the average user's 200 images would take's under 2 seconds.
* Changed the background loading scheme. It no longer looks at
thumbnails from moblin-media, it looks at the media/photo
path independantly and reads in the images from scratch. This
has proven to be much faster.
* Image loading now happens in four phases:
1: the directories are read and a list of images created.
this is done in a separate thread so the user can still
access the GUI, change the background color, and exit
2: the images are listed in the dialog w filenames only
the dialog is innaccessible during this brief phase, which
for 4000 photos is a fraction of a second.
3: the thumbnails are generated from the image files. this
is done in another separate thread so that the user can
access the dialog without thumbnails until they are ready
4: the thumbnails are added to the list. the dialog is
innaccessible during this brief phase but, like phase2,
it takes a fraction of a second since it's all in RAM.
moblin-applets (0.54) hardy; urgency=low
* disabled the moblin-system-daemon logging functionality, this
is important since it could slow down the boot process as it
tries to create a file in /var/log
moblin-applets (0.53) hardy; urgency=low
* Changed the background applet behavior
* Fixed the color picker dialog to automatically update the
"Solid Color Background" entry to reflect the new color, select
its entry, and switch the background to the solid color.
* If Solid Color Background was last set, reopening the dialog
will select and scroll to its item.
* Added stricter parsing rules for the xorg.conf file.
* The touchscreen values are now only accessed in an InputDevice
section with the Identifier set to touchscreen.
* Duplicate values of the calibration parameters are ignored.
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "Cannot add photos into wallpaper list"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/213238
FIX: The package now installs a /desktop/moblin/background/thumbpaths
folder in gconf and adds keys for every thumbnail cache folder the
backgrounds applet should traverse looking for images. It installs
two now, one for .moblin-media/thumbnails/largest and one for
.realplayer/thumbnails/largest. It looks for them in /home/ume and
pulls in any images named in the expected format. If there are
duplicates it only takes the first found.
* BUG: "Starting Touchscreen banner still exists when do nothing after
launch touch screen till time out or exit calibration by ESC"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/214380
FIX: I changed the behavior of the calibrator to always leave the
min and max values in logical order (i.e. MaxX > MinX and MaxY > MinY)
and to employ the use of SwapX and SwapY to handle inverted axes. The
read_calibration and apply_calibration apis both still take five
arguments, but instead of the last arg being rotation, it's a "flags"
argument with 4 bits used: b0=SwapX, b1=SwapY, b2=RotateCCW,
b4=RotateCW. The moblin-dbustest program has also been updated to
read in this new data.
moblin-applets (0.52) gaston; urgency=low
* Added the read_calibration function to the moblin-system-daemon
API in order to allow users to retrieve the xorg.conf data for
the touchscreen. It returns xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, and rotation.
* Added read_calibration to the list of commands supported by
moblin-dbustest.
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: Touchscreen applet: if calibration wrongly and save the
configuration, stylus will keep inaccurate even after correct
calibration again
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/199065
FIX: There are 8 possible layouts for the touchscreen, all of
which have now been tested. These are the possible ways that
the touchscreen can be mapped to the display. These can be
simulated on the samsung by pressing the buttons in different
orders.
Screen points:
0 1
2 3
1) No Rotation, X Aligned, Y Aligned
press 0 1 2 3
2) No Rotation, X Inverted, Y Aligned
press 1 0 3 2
3) No Rotation, X Aligned, Y Inverted
press 2 3 0 1
4) No Rotation, X Inverted, Y Inverted
press 3 2 1 0
5) ClockWise Rotation, X Aligned, Y Aligned
press 2 0 3 1
6) ClockWise Rotation, X Inverted, Y Aligned
press 0 2 1 3
7) ClockWise Rotation, X Aligned, Y Inverted
press 3 1 2 0
8) CounterClockWise Rotation, X Aligned, Y Aligned
press 1 3 0 2
The touchscreen calibration algorithm assumes the screen is rotated
if the x coordinates of points 0, 1 and 2, 3 are within 100 of each
other. This way you have some room to create a rectangle with your
presses but if you go too far outside the points it will create a
junk config. The config can be reversed though by redoing it properly.
moblin-applets (0.51) gaston; urgency=low
* Easier access for backgrounds applet: If there are 10 or more
photos in the backgrounds applet I added a slider to the right
of the dialog that allows the user to quickly move through them
all. It has a button on top that jumps to the first photo and a
button on bottom that jumps to the last photo. This way the user
doesn't have to flick the moko finger scroller a hundred times
trying to get at their photo near the end of the list.
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "Time on marquee doesn't sync with time on moblin-applets when
changing timezone"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/208167
FIX: Fixed in 0.51, I added a read of the utc time before the
timezone change, and a write of that utc time after the timezone
change. The time now jumps before or ahead by the difference in
timezone hours just like the marquee clock applet.
* BUG: "Horizontal/Vertical Gradient configuration on wallpaper
doesn't take effect"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/197918
FIX: Fixed in 0.51. I removed the selector for solid/horiz/vert.
The color picker button is now on the bottom of the dialog and is
always solid.
* BUG: "Duplicate pick color button exists for "Horizontal Gradient"
and "Vertical Gradient" selection"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/188283
FIX: Fixed in 0.51. I removed the selector for solid/horiz/vert.
The color picker button is now on the bottom of the dialog and is
always solid.
moblin-applets (0.50.1) gaston; urgency=low
* Changed the /etc/init.d/moblin-system-daemon script to actually
do what it's supposed to
moblin-applets (0.50) gaston; urgency=low
* Added in the gconf key callbacks and xsettings triggers to
moblin-settings-xsettings.c
moblin-applets (0.49) gaston; urgency=low
* Fixed the moblin-keybindings .desktop file
moblin-applets (0.48) gaston; urgency=low
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "Cannot launch Keyboard/Sound/Screen resolution/About Device
applets again if close them by ESC"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/196851
FIX: I added support for GTK_RESPONSE_CLOSE, GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL, and
GTK_RESPONSE_DELETE_EVENT for every dialog's message handler in moblin
applets.
moblin-applets (0.47) gaston; urgency=low
* Major upgrade to moblin-system-daemon, the touchscreen and time
applets. The system daemon now supports six functions.
CaptureTouch: Starts the process of capturing a touch point. The
data is returned asynchronously via the TouchScreenData
signal
ApplyCalibration: Applies a calibration change to xorg.conf
SetTime: Sets the current date&time via oobs
GetTime: Gets the current date&time via oobs
SetTimezone: Sets the current timezone via oobs
GetTimezone: Gets the curent timezone via oobs
These functions allow the touchscreen and time applets to function
without the need for root access.
* Added two test utilities for debugging the moblin-system-daemon.
moblin-touchdump: Displays raw touchscreen input data and also
simulates CaptureTouch Logic in the case of
errors
moblin-dbustest: Accesses 4 of the DBUS API functions for testing
purposes: get_time, set_time, get_timezone, and
capture_touch.
* Changed all the .desktop files to use OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Mobile and
Categories=Settings
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "mouse cursor change from clock to arrow slowly"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/156531
FIX: gksu is no longer called by the touchscreen or time applets, so the
mouse clock shouldn't get stuck anymore.
* BUG: "Date/time dialog blocks all other areas except the dialog
itself if it is not the first time to launch date/time applet from
settings"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/179153
FIX: the dialog is non-modal on each load now
* BUG: "time and date settings has wrong theme and leaves busy cursor
showing"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/203311
FIX: the time applet is no longer called with gksu as it uses
moblin-system-daemon to get/set the time and timezone.
moblin-applets (0.46) gaston; urgency=low
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "Click ESC to abort calibration, the calibration window doesn't
close quickly while need wait 25 seconds"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/203412
FIX: I accidentally introduced this bug by adding a touch_disconnect
call to moblin-system-daemon which was intended to discontinue
the capture_touch call when the user aborts. Unfortunately DBUS
doesn't allow simultaneous calls, so it sat waiting for capture-touch
to return. I removed this functionality.
* BUG: "The calibration window doesn't close quickly after the read
calibration line disappears, need wait more time"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/203414
FIX: See bug 203412
* BUG: "Mute shortcut key doesnot realy mute audio"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/191846
FIX: the new behavior is that the mute shortcut mutes all the playback
tracks that have mute buttons.
moblin-applets (0.45) gaston; urgency=low
* Changed all the .desktop.in.in files to just .desktop.in since
there was no processing between .in.in to .in
* Changed the format of the control panel .desktop files to
include "OnlyShowIn=Settings".
* All applets are now run as separate processes with the libraries
spawning and monitoring those processes.
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "The keyboard shotcuts can launch applications with more than
one instances"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/153509
FIX: I added code to moblin-settings-daemon to have it monitor any
processes it spawns as a result of shortcut calls and to prevent
relaunching an app if an instance already exists.
moblin-applets (0.44) gaston; urgency=low
* Removed All the NTP support features from the Date&Time Applet
* Upgraded the touchscreen calibration utility to function properly
on the crown beach
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "It's hard to calibrate touch screen on CB+LCD kit"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/197925
FIX: The hardware layer of the calibration utility was listening
for packets which contain all the necessary data to establish a
point touched. This means the X and Y coordinates as well as a
button press notification in the form of either LEFT or TOUCH,
followed by a REPORT tag. The problem is that the crown beach
doesn't include all this info in a single packaet like the samsung
and most other platform touchscreen modules, it spreads it accross
several packets. So the calibrator was missing most of the finger
presses. I changed the algorithm to span across multiple packets,
collecting the data as it goes.
* BUG: "os is not install NTP package to support date synchronization"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/156929
FIX: I removed all the NTP time server stuff from our version of
the date&time applet. It now only functions as a manual setting.
* BUG: "Scroll bar exists in select time server UI when keep
synchronize with Internet server"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/193196
FIX: all the ntp stuff has been removed so this dialog no longer
exists
* BUG: "Launching soft keyboard made applets especially for About
Device and Proxy dialog layout disordered"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/197923
FIX: mokos added
* BUG: "Select time server doesn't take effect when keep synchronized
with internet server"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/193197
FIX: removed ntp support
* BUG: "Proxy setting and DateTime setting UI are not well layout for
800x480 resolution"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/198624
FIX: the date&time dialog is much smaller now and the network proxy
dialog has a moko surrounding the first tab.
* BUG: "Suggest to remove help button on Time&Date dialog due it shows
error message"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/179034
FIX: the help buton was removed since we build moblin-time now
ourselves instead of using gnome-system-tools' time-admin.
moblin-applets (0.43) gaston; urgency=low
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "moblin-applets cannot launch control panel applet by manual"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/196906
FIX: The problem was that with the new mobile-basic-flash calling
convention all the applets create their dialogs and return
immediately. I changed the behavior to return immediately only when
the user_activated argument to execute is TRUE. If it's FALSE, the
applets run a gtk_main and don't return until the dialog is destroyed
and gtk_main_quit is called.
moblin-applets (0.42) hardy; urgency=low
* Added in a new set of status bar icon images
* Then added Bob Spencer's set of icons with the backgrounds removed
* Added Jason Cassezza's brightness and nobattery icons
moblin-applets (0.41) gaston; urgency=low
* Added internationalization support
* pulled po directory and configure.in and Makefile.am settings back
from the original gnome-control-center-2.18.1 fork.
* Modified all the source, desktop, glade, and xml files to support
internationalization strings for elements of the GUI
* add po/en_US.po
moblin-applets (0.40) gaston; urgency=low
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "Click background applet cause hildon desktop crashed after
delete one photo which is set to wallpaper"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/193898/+editstatus
FIX: Placed a check to verify that the original file both exists and is
readable by the applet.
moblin-applets (0.39) gaston; urgency=low
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: No Way to set one photo to wallpaper
* BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/192851
* FIX: The moblin-media package changed both the thumbnail format and
folder so the background applet couldn't find the images. It's been
updated.
moblin-applets (0.38) gaston; urgency=low
* The hardy push apparantly cancelled the gaston build, so
I'm trying this one more time.
moblin-applets (0.37) hardy; urgency=low
* Botched 0.36 build, trying again
moblin-applets (0.36) gaston; urgency=low
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "Click Background applet cause hildon desktop restart"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/191481
FIX: Added default gconf settings for /desktop/moblin/background
* Fixed the moblin-system-daemon startup issue by ensuring that it is
launched after the dbus daemon
moblin-applets (0.35) gaston; urgency=low
* Remove hardware keyboard layout selection, since removable hardware
keyboard has low priority to be configurable. Default 101 keyboard layout
is supported. This is to close m9 bugs #187914, #179155 and #185578.
moblin-applets (0.34) gaston; urgency=low
* Added a touchdump program which displays raw touchscreen
data for debug purposes
* fixed the moblin-system-daemon stop bug. The daemon now responds
correctly to the SIGTERM signal.
moblin-applets (0.33) gaston; urgency=low
* Major updates to the touchscreen calibration utility
* Split the utility into two pieces, one for the GUI portion, the
other for the low level touchscreen driver access and xorg.conf
configuration portion. The low level version now resides in a new
system daemon called moblin-system-daemon which is started as root
via init.d. The gui remains in the moblin-touchscreen executable. The
two communicate via DBUS functions so that all the actions requiring
root are carried out by the daemon. Thus there is no longer a need to
log in as administrator to configure the touchscreen
* Created a new root daemon for moblin called moblin-settings-daemon
which will serve to handle all the administrative changes we want without
requiring administrative login.
* The touchscreen config utility now has the ability to determin the
name of the xorg.conf file by scanning the /etc/event.d/session file
and reading the option passed to the -config argument. This means that
the samsungQ1 config file is no longer hardcoded and the applet should
be more extensible to unknown platforms
* added the capability to add in a completely new touchscreen config section
to the target xorg.conf file if the one in use doesn't have one. This
should allow any systemn to be configured from scratch without the need
for any default config or prior knowledge of the touchscreen characteristics.
* removed the filter placed on the points touched on the screen which prevented
users from going too far from the illuminated points. This was causing
problems on the crown beach.
moblin-applets (0.32) hardy; urgency=low
* Rolling the version purely to get it into gaston
moblin-applets (0.31) gaston; urgency=low
* Working on the creation of a moblin-system-daemon
* forgot to update configure.in in 0.29 and 0.30 so any
bugs fixed in those need to be tested with this version
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "Terminal font size is not consistent by different opening
ways: keyboard shortcut and GUI."
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/172478
FIX: This file configures the desktop shortcut for the terminal:
/usr/share/mobile-basic-flash/applications/90-terminal.desktop
Gconf key: /apps/moblin_settings_daemon/keybindings/term_cmd
New value: uxterm -fa Monospace -fs 12
* BUG: "Launching soft keyboard made control panel applets dialog
window layout disordered."
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/164632
FIX: About Me dialog is encased in a moko now
* BUG: "Cannot launch Email with keyboard shortcut"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/186550
FIX: The problem I think is with the alt being a toggle rather
than a control key on the samsung. I changed all the default
shortcuts to use ctrl+shift+char now and they all seem to work great.
moblin-applets (0.30) gaston; urgency=low
* Added more file extensions to the background applet support
* increased the populate time of the background applet treeview
moblin-applets (0.29) gaston; urgency=low
* Added Horace's patch to the keyboard applet
* Resurrected the forked version of the Date&Time applet. It is now
build as an executable called moblin-time and is spawned
asynchronously by the hildon desktop.
* Changed all the applets to return from their execute functions
immediately once their dialogs are up. The previous blocking
behavior was preventing backgruond and color changes to the
desktop.
* Changed the background applet to no longer use an XML database to
save files. It scans the moblin-media thumbnail cache for photos and
populates those instead. Photos can no longer be added or removed from
the background applet, they are managed from the moblin-media photo
viewer.
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "The About Me UI is disordered after input multiple lines strings
in Address edit entry"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/186955
FIX: I tried instantiating a moko finger scroller around the address
text box and it behaved just as I expected, the larger moko (for the
entire dialog) overrode the smaller moko and the box was unusable. So
this is a catch 22, I need the entire box to be in a moko so none of
the component elements can be moko (unless Frank can figure something
out). Instead I changed the behavior of the scrolled window around the
address box to not allow the box to be resized. If you type too many
lines you get horizontal and vertical scroll bars.
* BUG: "Buttons on Background dialog is ugly, suggest make them small to
be harmonious with the whole dialog"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/187213
FIX: The add and remove wallpaper buttons are gone now. All that's left
are Cancel, OK, and the background color picker buttons.
* BUG: "Scroll bar exists in Add wallpaper dialog"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/187926
FIX: There is no more add wallpaper dialog.
* BUG: "Scoll bar exists when input many strings in Address edit entry
on About Me dialog"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/187924
FIX: Fixed with the about me moko
* BUG: "Scroll bar exists in "Advanced Configuration" tab of Proxy applet"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/187917
FIX: Added a moko scroller
moblin-applets (0.28) gaston; urgency=low
* BUGS FIXED
* BUG: "It shows disordered sound info after launch sound applet"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/186561
FIX: To make things a little clearer though, I made the mute buttons
stay in the same position on every tab regardless if there's volume
control sliders or not. I also added in support for capture elements
* BUG: "Suggest remove screen resolution list box since there is only
one option for user"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/185844
FIX: I have the screen resolutions combo box grayed out if there is
only one resolution available. This way the user can see what the
current and only resolution is and will know that they cannot change
it.
* BUG: "Screen resolution dialog layout disordered when try to change
another resolution"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/178554
FIX: The resolutions that caused this problem are no longer supported,
however I did add them back in temporarily to test the failure. You
can do it with this command:
su -l ume -c "gconftool-2 --type "string" --set
/desktop/moblin/screen/resolutions 1024x600,800x480,800x600,640x480"
This command will enable 640x480 in the pulldown for test, and the
latest dialog shows no alignment issues when it's reverted.
* BUG: "Marquee bar disappear after change screen rotation and reboot
system"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-ui-framework/+bug/184997
FIX: I've removed the left and right rotations from the screen
resolution dialog. It still supports inverted but that one has never
had any issues.
* BUG: "The About Me UI is disordered after input multiple lines
strings in Address edit entry"
BUGLINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moblin-applets/+bug/186955
FIX: I changed the about-me dialog to exist within a moko finger
scroll, so if you start the virtual keyboard or type multiple lines
in the address field the entire window will scroll
