Siilihai 2.3.4 released

2.3.4 has a couple of minor updates:

• Fix for Siilihai freezing when a certain malformed message is converted from TapaTalk format to HTML. 
• Use QNetworkSession to open network connection. This will be useful on mobile devices.

Builds are for Win32 and Ubuntu Trusty & Utopic. Updated mobile versions coming later.

Siilihai 2.3.3 released

2.3.3 is a minor maintenance release which brings some fixes related to forums with weird character encoding. Earlier it was impossible to subscribe forums with some bizarre Russian windows encoding but now it should work. Character encoding is now handled with QTextCodec which supports a large number of encodings.

If you are a forum owner, use UTF-8. Everything else is deprecated and just causes trouble.

This release is built for Ubuntu and Windows. Mac builder is still wanted.

Siilihai-mobile 2.1.0 released

What's new:

• Posting and replying in TapaTalk forums
• UI enhancements
• Bugfixes

Released already for Sailfish at Warehouse. Android release to follow soon. Also a new version of desktop client is expected soon..

Siilihai-mobile 2.0.8 released

The mobile version 2.0.8 has been released for Sailfish and Android. New features:

• Various ui improvements including search function for forums and groups.
• Loading screen for Android. For some reason the Android version loads really slowly compared to Sailfish version. This will be investigated and hopefully fixed.
• Library is now less strict for some error situations and doesn't assert on them. In other words, Siilihai doesn't appear to crash if server sends bogus data.

The Android version is now available at Google Play. It costs $2 to download. It was a difficult decision to decide between free and paid app, but i decided to release as paid app. The reasons are:

• I had to pay $25 for the Google Play developer account.
• I do not use a Android phone so Android version is just extra work for me.
• Profit :-) (I'm happy if I get the $25 back). 

Siilihai will continue to be open source, and the Android version will be available for free manual download. If you want to maintain a free version of Siilihai in any app store, you can do it.

Siilihai-mobile Sailfish in Warehouse repository

Jolla owners can now install Warehouse ("app store" for free apps) and install Siilihai from there. This allows updates to work.

 For detailed instructions see: http://www.jollatides.com/2014/01/08/tutorial-how-to-download-beta-apps-from-openrepos/


Siilihai-mobile is refused by Jolla's official Harbour store because it uses jpg and svg support. These are scheduled to be allowed in Harbour sometime in future.
