• globalvillage Dodgy Unstable Version 0.0.9 file released: globalvillage_all-0.0.9-1.tar.gz

  2009-03-16 Version 0.0.9 - Dodgy Version * Fixed: Bug where the preview image would not work the first time GV was run for the day. * New: Plugins with there own page in the MAIN notebook can be notified when the tab is clicked by the user. * New: Added support for Xplanets -origin option. * Fixed: Fires plugin now uses styles, and the request_refresh() callback when options are changed. * New: Global Village now lives on the Graphics submenu of the main Applications menu. * New: Map Manager Plugin. * Fixed: Problems witht he default xplanet-config installed in users ~/.globalvillage being updated with old config information. 2009-03-11 Version 0.0.8 * New: Each user now has a personal marker directory under ~/.globalvillage/ so that their personal settings don't interfere with others on the same machine. * New: Major changes to the notification system. Notification will now issues messages for cron style events, eg: and "Hourly" event, a "Weekly" event etc. The reason being I suspect having multiple plugins all registering gtk.timeout() callbacks might lead to problems in the future. Plugins will also be able to request custom notifications, eg: every 5.25 hours etc... * Fixed: Problem with pyinotify on Ubuntu hardy (and perhaps similar distros), a few mods and a new requirement, Pyinotify 0.8.x * Fixed: Disabled plugins now remove their markers from the users xplanet-config file. * Fixed: Bug in the enable/disable code for plugins, where some times the plugin would show as disabled, but had not been. * Added: Weather icons for cities plugin. * Fixed: Bug in crons sytem, not saving next check times. * Change: No longer has multiple log files, just a single log file over writen on every startup. * Fixed: The 'Save Image' button now actually does something ;-) * NEW: A working install.py that works. Actually it always worked but the 'data' was not kept upto date. 2008-02-22 Version 0.0.7 * Fixed: error in handling of unset gconf keys. * Fixed: syntax error in marker files * Fixed: The background image plugin was asking clouds.py to generate the wrong image size if the force 2:1 option was used. * New: Added GtkEntry widget handling to gconf_client.py * New: Support for xplanets -label options in the wallpaper plugin. * Fixed: Default red text in solid_circle style has been removed. 2007-07- Not Released Version 0.0.6 * New file tree structure, removing src/ directory. Main src now in the . directory of the archive. * Now ignore anoying gtk-tree warnings due to unset models in .glade files when run from a terminal. * New --log option when starting Global Village, enables a Logging menu item on the help menu. --show-log forces the log window open upon startup. * Plugins can create there own log types and levels as required. (see example_plugin.py) * Split the code from the images when packing into tarball. Now have a globalvillage_images-*.tar.gz that won't be updated often. * General tidy up of some of the code, and some more comments and logging. * New plugin for KDE desktop users. * Fixed: Empty locations config data bug, the same one that was "fixed" in 0.0.3 ;-) * Added: Xplanet config setting options to plugins based on changes by Doug Hawkins to the xplanet. See xpconfig.py and plugin_base.py for details. NOTE! Requires CVS version of xplanet for this (and gv) to work. * Changes to gconf_client.py to remove the need for schemas. See example_plugin.py * Fixed: Segfault in logger.py * Fixed: Crash on quit if started without the --log option. * Added: Styles system for marker files. Essentially styles are plugins that generate a marker line for other plugins. Currently only a few styles... * Added: Cities plugin that can show the city location, the weather, the timezone and altitude of cities on Earth. Approx 6500 locations. 2007-03-27 Version 0.0.5 -> Alpha (verging on beta) * Working install.py and related changes to src/config.py by Doug Hawkins. * New background_image plugin with a GUI (replaces wallpaper plugin) and moved some config options from the main GUI to the new plugin. * Added: Plugin manager GUI for enabeling/disabeling plugins. * plugin_template.glade created in plugins directory... Was hard work that was! * Prefs window remebers position and is restored to last position on screen. * Changes to plugins base class. Plugins now respect enabled status when first loaded. * Fixed: Startup icon display errors. * Fixed: Notification changes causing crashes. * Fixed: Threading issues with earthquakes plugin. * Added: get_url_date(), get_url_age() and get_file_age() functions to util.py making them available for all plugins. * Fixed: Hide/Show prefs window on startup bug. * Added: Recent fires plugin. * Moved plugin schemas from the main schemas file to a seperate file in the plugin directory. * Bonus Feature: The 'Save Image' toolbar button is still for looks only ;-) 2007-02-28 Version 0.0.4 -> Not released -> Refactored and Improved. No 'real' user visible changes. * Added: Specific preview images and a globalvillage_preview_config file. Result --> Preview renders approx 3 times faster. * Yet More GConf Fixes! This time earthquakes plugin. * Added: Clock face to the notification icon which changes to the globe icon when everything is up and running. * Fixed: Preview and wallpaper plugins allowing for multiple users on the same machine at the same time * Complete overhaul of the way gconf is handled, discarded GConf.py (from unknown source), replaced with gconf_client.py and enabled gconf notification callbacks. * gconf schema fixes. * Enabled: Refresh item in the notification icon menu. * Re-enabled: The toolbar that was removed because "I doubt it will be used." ;-) * Moved 'events' system from the PluginManager to the Notification class. * Added: Example of how to handle widgets with new gconf_client system in test_plugin.py * Fixed: Bug in wallpaper plugin that could result in multiple copies of xplanet running and continuing to generate multiple copies over and over. * Fixed: The Force 2:1 ratio feature now really works ;-) * Fixed: Changed nice value from 19 to 7 for wallpaper rendering as beagle indexing (at 15) would take over and the wallpaper would take ages to render. * Added: Status bar notices to the Notification class with example usage in the test_plugin. * Removed: BLINK and BRIGHT ON/OFF events. These are now handled by Notification class and the 'notice' system. * Enabled the "redundant" preferences item in the notification icon menu. * MAJOR_CHANGE: Renamed 'test_plugin.py' to 'example_plugin.py' but at least it was not a surprise right? ;-) * Fixed: Bug in wallpaper plugin that caused it to start before the "RUNNING" event was issued. * Included dbfpy directly into the source tree. dbfpy is "Public Domain" software used to extract information for the upcoming fires plugin. See --> http://dbfpy.sourceforge.net/ 2007-02-19 * Removed: Dependency on RSS.py for the earthquakes plugin due to threading issues. * Added: Global Village data dir key to the gconf keys. See storage.py for details... if any. * Added: Gconf schema and instructions in the readme. * Fixed: empty locations config data bug. 2007-02-11 * Added: the "xplanet_files_dir" gconf key, but this still has to be set manually. * Removed: Toolbar from globalvillage.glade as I doubt it will be used. * Made the Update Interval spin button actually work. * Moved: test plugin to it's own tab on the main notebook to show that this is possible for plugins. * Random images in the about dialogs - very useful! * Set image to actual users desktop size, not "my" desktop size. Sorry. ;-) * 2:1 Ratio images. Option to force a 2:1 ratio desktop image on non-2:1 ratio desktops. 2007-02-08 * Initial Release - very basic and pre-alpha stage.
