Kandy 0.5 (16.11.2004)
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
+ Kandy now supports different types of phone numbers associated with KAB
|
|
addressees. A config dialog was added where the user can specify whether
|
|
to exclude e.g. fax numbers or not. For every type of number, a suffix which
|
|
is appended to the name can be defined. This way, the e.g. office and cell
|
|
numbes of a person can be clearly distinguished in the mobile phone book.
|
|
Older version of Kandy prior to 0.5 simply grabbed the first phone number
|
|
attached to an addressee and dumped that one to the mobile phone...
|
|
|
|
+ Names from the KDE address book are formatted intelligently. Basically, the
|
|
ordering "Family Name, Given Name" is used. If "Family Name" only is a unique
|
|
string, it is used in order to save characters of the narrow mobile phone
|
|
display. If several people with the same family name (e.g. Meyer, Jens and
|
|
Meyer, Andy) exist, only the first letter of the given names are used if they
|
|
are unique (i.e. Meyer, J. and Meyer, A.). Depending on the allowed maximum
|
|
width of a name entry which is extracted from the mobile phone, names are
|
|
truncated in order to fit onto the mobile device.
|
|
|
|
+ A rudimentary conversion between "normal ASCII" characters and the strange
|
|
7-bit GSM charset is implemented. Hence, names with e.g. german Umlauts are
|
|
now transfered correctly to the mobile phone and back. (Exception: the capital
|
|
"Ö" does not work and leads to modem errors. FIXME!)
|
|
|
|
+ If a suffix for a certain phone numbe type is quoted in the configuration
|
|
dialog (e.g. Cell suffix = "17"), then the unquoted suffix is interpreted as
|
|
the hexadecimal number of the desired character of the GSM charset. (The Cell
|
|
suffix "17" has the effect that every mobile phone entry of the KAB will be
|
|
followed by an antenna-like symbol in the display of the mobile phone). See
|
|
http://www.nobbi.com/atgsm.html for an illustration of the GSM charset.
|
|
|
|
+ The serial interface configuration dialog now contains the option to
|
|
specify in which directory the LOCK file should be generated (the old
|
|
hard-coded /var/lock directory doesn't exist on my Sun box).
|
|
|
|
+ The serial interface configuration dialog and the GUI offer the possibility
|
|
to set the mobile's clock according to the desktop's system time.
|
|
|
|
+ The maximum number of entries for the mobile phone book which was hard-coded
|
|
before (150) now is extracted dynamically from the mobile phone.
|
|
|
|
+ The sync mechanism of Kandy is completely rewritten.
|
|
|
|
+ The current states of the KAB and mobile phonebooks (unchanged or modified)
|
|
are properly reflected in the GUI.
|
|
|
|
+ Saving a modified phone book back to the mobile is done very efficiently by
|
|
just writing back only modified entries and not the whole phone book as was
|
|
the case before.
|
|
|
|
+ Deleting of mobile phone book items is supported now.
|
|
|
|
+ The GUI is heavily restructured and simplified.
|
|
