Gcontact / News: Recent posts

Please note that a rewrite version of GContact is available based on HTML5, JavaScript, CouchDb to store data, REST and a little of PHP as "glue" between JavaScript and database (wich may be converted to nodejs later).
The project is stable ; you can import your data from previous/current version.

No release for now but source code for that version is published on the git repository of the project (the SVN repo contains the source code for legacy releases).

I began to write a second and brand new version of GContact.
That new version is heavily based on HTML5, JavaScript, CouchDb to store data, REST and a little of PHP as "glue" between JavaScript and database.
The project is in early phase (for now, only the authentication page has been written). So, GContact "version 1" will still be the "stable" release for, at least, several months.... read more

I've opened a SVN repository for GContact and I've migrated all CVS files (by check in, so CVS history is not available on SVN repo).

So SVN is the main SCM and CVS is now deprecated.

You should use SVN to get the source code and commit.
CVS should only be used to view files history (I think I'll remove it soon).
