OptioCD / News: Recent posts

Andrew Taylor has been kind enough to do some web development work for optiocd. He has redone the website, and provided some help documentation.

Hi All, and welcome to 2010 :-)

A new bugfix has been released. Andrew Taylor, who is kindly working on some help pages for the project reported a problem where the program would not allow the user to name each of the centurions in the stack to allow identification when using "Verify all empty slots", and "Verify empty slot by number".

This bug should be squashed.

I have packaged up version 0.4 of optiocd. The major change is the way the centurion.py module notifies the owner application that new units have been detected.

The module has to detect all units when it first starts. If (like me) you start optiocd automatically when gnome starts, then you probably got some minor errors reported when the program was, for example, trying to move the carousel on start up. This has been fixed, and I have been using the program for a few days without any problems. ... read more

I would like to have a "pretty" web page for this project, but I have about as much artistic ability as a cane toad holding a crayon, so if anyone can help me out, please drop me a mail.

Version 0.3 of optiocd is available on the download page, this release should be suitable for end users, and will be re-released as version 1.0 after sufficient testing from users to verify that all the bugs are squashed.
