Siilihai 1.1.1 release

For users, 1.1.1 contains no visible changes.

For developers it is more interesting.
- Now uses cdbs (Common Debian Build System) for multiarch compatibility.
- libsiilihai renamed to libsiilihai1 as it should be by naming policy.
- siilihai-client compiles everything in a single binary now. No more need for separate libs in client.
- headers are now in separate package libsiilihai1-dev.
- Other minor cleanups.

Upgrade via PPA should work.. But please report if it doesn't.

If upgrade fails: uninstall libsiilihai and then reinstall siilihai-client.

New N9 version

Here's a new version of Siilihan Mobile for Harmattan. It now looks a bit better and is actually useful.

Known issues:
- No icon (launch from terminal)
- Subscribing forums crashes
- Syncing & updating takes time and there still is no progress bar. Launch in terminal /opt/siilihai-mobile/bin/siilihai-mobile to see output log
- Quit with Menu/Quit, NOT swipe. Swipe just kills the app and does not sync or store the database properly
- Message dialogs (errors etc) are shown as black screens
- In login/registration dialog username's first letter is capitalized
- A lot of planned features are still missing

If you installed the previous version, remove it with apt-get remove libsiilihai siilihaimobile. siilihai-mobile now contains libsiilihai so it's no longer needed separately.

Alpha version of Siilihai Mobile for Harmattan (Nokia N9)

Known issues:
- It's not very pretty. Anyone want to edit QML and make it look good?
- It can only display messages, not mark them as read yet. Message display is not cleaned up from excess html junk.
- First sync takes long time (~15 mins here on wlan) if you have many forums subscribed and there's no progress bar. Just leave it running until you see new messages appear. Start in terminal to see debug output.
- There may be other bugs i'm not aware.

Install both packages:

Let me know if you like it. Contributions would be welcome. I have managed to move almost all "hard work" to libsiilihai so the mobile ui is quite simple.

(Running here on my N950):

Server maintenance on Mon 27.2

Server hosting Siilihai is being upgraded Monday 27 February 2012 between 9am and 1pm UTC. Siilihai will work only in offline mode during that period.

Siilihai 1.0.2 released

Simple is beautiful. The progress dialog has been removed from client as it is generally not needed. Also there are a lot of code cleanups in client.

A lot of client logic has been moved to the libsiilihai. This makes it easy to write client applications with less code. It paves way for the mobile version which has been planned for long time.

Edit: This build is for Linux & Mac only. Windows build system broke down and will be fixed soon(tm).

Siilihai 1.0.1 released

Most visible fixes in 1.0.1 are:
- Account Settings dialog now closes properly
- No unnecessary syncing - startup & shutdown is faster
- Fixed a crash which may occur when unsubscribing group using a debug build

The release should be in PPA soon and Windows build is available for download.
Mac version is still 1.0.0.

Mac version available

Ilkka Laukkanen has built Siilihai 1.0.0 for Mac. It should work on OSX 10.5 and later. This version has not been thoroughly tested but should work.

Unzip the package and double click to start Siilihai.
