Hi there.
This is just a message to let you know that TunesViewer for Desktop has been
accepted in Debian as of today---there was a bit of waiting, but that was
due to the ftpmasters (who are the gatekeepers of the Debian repository)
having to scrutinize the package.
See the package page at:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/tunesviewer
So, from today on, you are able to get the latest packaging of TunesViewer
for Desktop from your nearest Debian repository (currently in the unstable
distribution).
In my very humble opinion, this merits some announcement on the main,
wordpress site.
Regards,

Dear Luke,
I'm replying to the list so that others can follow the discussions that we
already have in the archives.

I liked your suggestions, but some things came to my mind as I was reading this:
* What about, instead of saying TunesViewer (Desktop) and TunesViewer
(Android) we simply standardized on "TunesViewer for Desktop" and
"TunesViewer for Android"?
* I'm not exactly sure if we should couple the releases of both
variants. Perhaps two release notes, for different flavors would be
better?
Anyway, I just put the document with our versions at:
https://github.com/rbrito/tunesviewer/wiki/Release-Notes-1.5
It would be nice to edit the document there and get it in final form ASAP.
Once you tell me if we should decouple the release schedules in general or
not.
Thanks,

Dear Luke and other people, As a way of debuting our new mailing list and getting job done, I would like to use this as a medium to refine things that should be in the release notes for the 1.5 release. Here is a draft that I've come up with so far. Please, add new comments so that we can get this polished and 1.5 out of the door, so that we can start working on 1.6. Once we have the content done, formatting it should be easy to get in various media (including the wordpress homepage). I have tried to keep this is an markdown format, to be able to use automated generation of the documentation. ----- # Introduction We are proud to announce a new version of TunesViewer, a simple, easy-to-use, open-source, application for Unix-like systems meant to access the iTunes U (the educational material) present in Apple's iTunes Store. The 1.5 release has seen improvements in many fronts, most of which are in adaptation of the code for changes in Apple's iTunes Store, in better code, and some in improvements in the project administration. # User-visible changes * Easier production of up-to-date packages for Debian-derived distributions (which include Ubuntu and Linux Mint, for example). * New possibility of specifying folders where the downloads should be placed. * New, more attractive icon for TunesViewer. * TunesViewer now stores its configuration in XDG compliant locations, which should make it easier to backup your data. * Some new command-line options can be seen with the invocation of `tunesviewer --help`. Expect more options to be available. * Other minor (but important) usability changes in the user interface. # Improvements in the project administration * For development-related discussion and planning, we have created a mailing list at <mailto:tun...@li...>. * Support requests can be much faster to be acted upon if they are *not* sent to individual developers, but to a place where it is visible to all developers. The preferred place for reporting problems, and asking for feature requests is at <https://github.com/rbrito/tunesviewer/issues>. While reporting a bug or filing a feature request, please inform us the version of TunesViewer that you are using, the operating system (if it is Linux, which distribution) and any other information that you think that may be appropriate. We encorage you to be as verbose and descriptive as possible, so that we can better understand what the issues are. * New location of development versions of TunesViewer from SourceForge to GitHub: <https://github.com/rbrito/tunesviewer>. # Under the hood The source code of TunesViewer has seen a lot of changes since the release of version 1.4. The code has seen more than 250 commits from 3 contributors, with almost 60 files changed, more than over 6000 lines of code added and more than 3400 lines of code removed. Among the many changes, some highlights are: * Extensive revision of the Debian packaging has been made, so that newer releases can be done in a faster and more automated way. * Creation of some unit-tests (with more to come). * More modular code-base, easing maintainability and code reuse. * Removal of some dead-code spots. * Adaptations to changes in Apple's iTunes Store. * Change of license of the project from Apache 2.0 to the GPL version 2 or later. ----- Well, Any comments on "the press-release above" would be more than welcome.
