Things that need to be fixed for a 2.7 release
Everything should have been fixed. Enjoy the release!
Apps
-
The fonts are too large on 200DPI screens (most vga devices) and can't be changed since look&feel either refuses to start or crashes when clicking 'ok'. fontsize 5 seems to be a good default setting for those devices. (we can't do that easily in gpe-login, we should add a patch to lie about the real dpi for now.)
-
(done, in oe now) No 'suspend device' option in the menu, which sucks, since the buttons are remappable (package suspend-desktop to be installed to get the menu option)
-
release all updated bits
-
bugfixes: prismstumbler, gpe-aerial, gpe-conf
-
new: gpe-opensync
-
(external) Matchbox
-
Some of the machbox themes in the default images are missing decoration for toolbox windows like gpe-mixer. (should be in matchbox svn, but does not seem included in current snapshots or is still not fixed)
-
gpe-what
-
Needs to scale its image.
-
gpe-clock
-
still defaults to analog clock which fails on small screen devices (already in cvs, needs a release)
-
perhaps adopt the digital clock view from the matchbox clock?
Features
-
i18n and locales
-
(OE issue) see http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229
-
(OE issue) The current plan is to switch to the old locale archive format and the old tools and generate the locale data at packaging time.
-
(done) Several base packages need to become submitted to the translation teams: gpe-conf, gpe-contacts, gpe-todo, gpe-calendar, gpe-timesheet
-
OGG support maybe works aka not in gpe-nmf (looks like a problem with the ivorbis plugin)
-
gpe-nmf still crashes in playlist editing etc
-
it is using decodebin now
Fixed but needs testing and inclusion in build
Apps
-
gpe-clock
-
(fixed) by default it starts up in analog clock mode which shows nothing but a white square
-
(fixed, cvs) related: The clock widget seems to miss the surface pixmap.
-
see http://handhelds.org/hypermail/familiar/291/29137.html for a problem description
-
(fixed, gpe-su 0.19) if i close gpe-su i get the following: error: urxvt: cont get colour '#969696', continuing without.
-
blueprobe needs to learn how to handle hx4700: http://handhelds.org/~bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1398 (fixed in OE)
-
gaim 2.0-mco
-
protocol settings viewport is too small: http://handhelds.org/~bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1404 (fixed)
-
gpe-calendar
-
(fixed) Problem drawing pixmaps (h5550, but not NBP)
-
(fixed, cvs) category selection doesn't work for individual appointments: http://handhelds.org/~bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1402
-
(in cvs, in progress) overlapping appointments aren't displayed right (Luca has some patches)
-
gpe-timesheet : improvements and bugfixes
Fixed and tested
Devices
-
fix pre-session script to use readlink to get the correct /dev/entries -> seems to be a busybox bug. work-around in OE http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311
Apps
-
Matchbox
-
The applauncher segfaults in locales != C (fixed in svn)
-
modal windows seem to behave badly (unable to get to the onscreen keyboard etc ...) (see smallbox implementation libgpewidget) -> fixed in matchbox svn. newer images use that)
-
gpe-bootsplash
-
(fixed) doesn't compile anymore: http://handhelds.org/~bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1331 (needs verification. Seems koen fixed this one in OE. Thanks)
-
(fixed) will need a 2.7 image (what is the status on this?)
-
gpe-today
-
(fixed) segfaults if there is a calendar event
-
Problem drawing pixmaps (h5550) (fixed)
-
does not draw background image (fixed)
-
gpe-ownerinfo
-
(fixed) Setting a picture (48x63 PNG) makes gpe-login continually redraw the ownerinfo, making logging in impossible
-
gpe-conf
-
(fixed?) lookandfeel: can only be started from the menu, otherwise it will hang (fixed in cvs)
-
(fixed, in 0.1.26) usb client mode selector would be nice to ship in gpe 2.7 (in cvs now, needs testing)
-
(fixed, cvs) ui needs some tweak to look more consistent with other gpe applications.
-
(done) proxy settings for gpe-mini-browser instead of dillo (why not systemwide proxy settings? - ok how?) Gpe-mini-browser can read the proxy settings from the environment. HTTP_PROXY=... as well as http_proxy)
Postponed
-
gpe-clock
-
(seems to auto-fix intself after a while, still needs extra investigation) floats on the toolbar getting hidden behind the battery status etc...
-
gpe-login
-
provide a background pixmap or use the default gtk theme, not the present blueishness (new feature->2.8)
-
input manager
-
For small panels we should use the old Tigert-pixmap, the new one looks bad if the panel is small.
-
gpe-bluetooth
-
the 'details' menu doesn't list services
