[Opensync-users] OpenSync 0.17 released

[Armin B. <arm...@de...>]

Hi,

I just released OpenSync 0.17. This version introduce some major new
features:

- Support for Mac OS X.

You can now use OpenSync on your shiny mac. There is a guide for this
here (both in english and in german): http://www.opensync.org/wiki/MacGuide
(Thanks to Oliver)

- Support for python plugins

Do you want to synchronize one of your devices or your favorite
application but you do not want to write code in c? Now you can!
OpenSync 0.17 has support for plugins written in python. Take a look at
this example plugin:
http://www.opensync.org/file/plugins/python-module/src/sample.py

To enable the python support in OpenSync you need to install the python
plugin from the download section. Support for other languages like Java,
Ruby etc is easy (as long as it is supported in swig).

- opensync can now be used with older glib versions (> 2.0)

- the python wrapper was moved from pyrex to swig

- Fixed some bugs regarding batch commits

- changed the api of the modules a bit.

- fixed a problem with the distribution of the example pluin

The example plugin can now be download separatly as a tarball from here:

As always you can download the latest release from
