While working on BlueDevil 1.1 we’ve found time to release the third “patch release” of our KDE Bluetooth Stack, so here is the changelog:

• Fixed requestPin helper by flushing cout buffer
• Fixed requestConfirmation by passing the correct arguments
• BUG: 267302 (crash reproducible for example with an iPhone)
• Improved wizard device name detection.
• Fixed “Send files” in some system by being sure that the defaultAdapter is NOT discovering.

With this version we’re releasing also libbluedevil 1.8.1, with the following changelog:

• Workarounded bluez consistency for default adapter (this will fix some adapter detection errors).
• Added a new signal to fix device scanning

LibBluedevil tag:
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/libbluedevil; cd libbluedevil; git checkout v1.8.1

Note:
The new version of libbluedevil is a dependency of the 1.0.3, so be sure to install them both! without the new library the wizard’s won’t work!

Well, this is it for now, stay tunned because we’ll start to publish information about 1.1 soon!

Short Description:
Kamoso is an application for taking Pictures and Videos using any webcam.

Long Description:
Kamoso is an application between two worlds, “Multimedia” and “Toys”. While its main propose may be seen as just “Take Pictures” and “Take Videos”, our plan goes beyond that: we are planning to add a bunch of effects that will allow to the user to play with the webcam, we want it to be fun, in the end. All of these is followed by a tightly integration with the Web 2.0, by adding export features to the most common Web 2.0 services, such YouTube, Facebook, twitpic…

Hi there

Since we released 1.0, we’ve been working hard to stabilize BlueDevil as much as possible and after fixing a bunch of bugs in kio_obexftp, now it’s turn for the wizard.

This is the changelog:

• Added support for Bluetooth 2.1 (SSP pairing)
• Do not pair devices that don’t need it
• Better automatic mode (Updated PIN database)
• Randomized the default PIN
• Random PIN of 6 characters, shrink if needed (depending on device)
• Improved the flow for lot of devices

As you can see, there are plenty changes for a minor release and that’s why we need some testing before release BlueDevil 1.0.2

This is already packaged in OpenSuse KDE:Unstable:Playground and to build it from the source you have to:

git clone git://git.kde.org/bluedevil
cd bluedevil
git checkout stable
cmake ./ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr (well this depends on your installation)
make -j3 install (you will probably need root for this).

Thanks!

Today I have been working on a small Proof of Concept which intents to demostrate that improve the Help menu by adding an “Actions Lookup” is possible.

After months of being almost a dead-zombie project now the Kamoso development has been resumed, we can say that it is in better shape than ever! Motivated by the QtGstreamer project, Aleix and I decided to port Kamoso to it and see how it goes (it has been the perfect excuse to revive the project). So far we didn’t regret the change. Besides the technology switch (we we’re kind of ok with libvlc), the change has given to us new forces to work on the project, let’s see what we’ve got so far:
