Changelog 

View the full changelog

  * Fix lp:1173057, whereby protocol removal in the URL QR code lead to
    removing unwanted characters
  * Launchpad automatic translations update.
  * Preparation for the Qreator 13.04 release. It includes: -
    Fix for lp:1173306 (thus it's dependent on the branch with the fix
    to land) - Version and copyright bump - Fixed toolbar logic
  * Fixes lp:1173306 whereby the GTK version in Ubuntu 13.04 does not
    accept None as an argument to set the draggable sources list.
    We're already explicitly setting URI draggable sources, so we can
    remove the function to initially set the sources list.
  * add a sorting feature to the drop down menu of the Wifi QR Code
    datatype
  * merge the fixes_1081538 branch to ensure that Wifis are shown in the
    drop down menu
  * basic setup to start with tests: removed About dialog tests since we
    don't use that, switched on code analysis when running 'quickly
    test'
  * small change in the icon loading to allow icon files of any size and
    still get the correct size for the interface
  * update to latest trunk
  * updated pot files
  * fix bug 1086937; replace isdg with isgd
  * Launchpad automatic translations update.
  * Launchpad automatic translations update.
  * fixes bug 1081535 ; the signal handler was missing in the ui file
  * merged with branch to fix bug 1082705
  * fixes bug 1083570 by including python-requests as a dependency
  * updated pot files
  * removed translatable description in abstract class QRCodeType;
    removed pylint errors and warnings
  * merged basic printing support
  * Merged i18n fixes and updated .pot file
  * Bumped version number to allow installing the daily PPA over a
    stable version. Some additional whitespace changes
  * Updated POT file for translators, changed a translatable text to be
    more readable
  * Bumped version number in the Debian changelog to make the automatic
    builds succeed
  * added use_agent=True in order to add additional databases
  * increased pep8 and pylint compatibility
  * added missing on_prepared callback to QRCodeSMSGtk.py
  * moved the cache recreation in a separate thread to really keep the
    ui feel snappy
  * reverted back to just recreating the cache for now
  * minor bug
  * after recreating cache, use it as well
  * recreate the icon and appname cache everytime qreator is launched
  * merged with latest trunk
  * now really using cache in XDG_CACHE_HOME
  * Sprite saving location moved to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/qreator/.
  * The modification shifts the loading time of the app-icons into the
    first software start. At the first start of the software, a
    sprite map is created, which stores **all** icons in a single large
    file, and the appnames in another text file. This increases
    the loading time (all values measured on my maschine) on the first
    start from 3.7sec to 4.5sec. But future calls will decrease the time
    to 0.2sec. So we got a factor of 18 in speed!
  * Looking through the software-center revealed some interesting
    possibility to speedup the loading time: Directly getting the icon
    from the database instead of creating a softwarecenter-appdetails
    object brings the time to load the apps from 2sec to 0.2sec.
    I think a factor of 10 is a good start to make the autocompletion
    loading smoother :-)
  * A first attempt to introduce threads in order to give IO-heavy
    autocompleters a chance to do the lifting in the background.
    Since getting the actual SoftwareCenterApp apps seems to be
    impossible with python-threading or with python-multiprocessing,
    this does not make it much faster. But it will keep the Window from
    freezing.
  * Merged a fix to make eog work with drag and drop, from lp:~stefan-
    schwarzburg/qreator/drag_n_drop_support
  * Merged drag and drop support from lp:~stefan-
    schwarzburg/qreator/drag_n_drop_support
  * Launchpad automatic translations update.
  * Merged VCARD QR code support from lp:stefan-
    schwarzburg/qreator/VCARD_support, with a bunch of UI changes
  * Merged fixes from lp:~stefan-
    schwarzburg/qreator/fix_bug_1006635_selection
  * Merged lp:~stefan-schwarzburg/qreator/qreator: * Fixes
    lp:1006630 'Resize QR input widgets' * Additional changes to merge
    proposal: * Added Stefan Schwarzburg to autors credits *
    Added margins to qr_input box * Disabled automatic resizing of
    QR code

    contributing to the code

    Software Center database
  * Merged translations from Launchpad
  * Decoupled QR code types from the QR window and from a particular GUI
    toolkit (right now only GTK is supported)
  * Added icons for the 'clear' action to all text entries, used
    symbolic icons in the QR page, delayed loading Software Centre apps
    until the apps tab is loaded for the first time
  * Make optparse not crash when using gettext, thanks Nicolas Delvaux
    for the help
  * Updated version to follow that of the package
