guitone license change

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

Guitone, my little GUI frontend for the monotone SCM, is currently licensed according to the terms of the GPLv3+ and was previously - before version 0.8 - licensed under GPLv2+. Newer development however forces me to re-license it again, this time under slightly less restrictive "copyleft" terms, under LGPLv3. The reason ...

monotone activity roundup

Friday, January 21st, 2011

If you remember my earlier post(s) you probably ask where the highly anticipated version one dot zero remains. Originally we planned to release it by the end of 2010, but we couldn't really meet that date because we really wanted to polish a couple of things before releasing it. So ...

guitone 1.0rc5 Windows installer available

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Sorry that it took a while, but I got largely distracted by other things. Finally the Windows installer binary for guitone 1.0rc5 is available for download - compiled under WinXP SP3 with Qt 4.7.1. Please let me know if you encounter problems, for example by reporting issues in guitone's bug ...

I'm proud to announce the immediate release of guitone 1.0rc5. This fifth release candidate requires monotone 0.99.1 or later.

guitone Mac OS X package

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Newer versions of Qt come with the nice and handy tool macdeployqt - I think it first appeared offically in 4.6. What this basically does is that it looks for linked Qt libraries and plugins in your binary file and copies the needed ones over to your application bundle, ...

Monotone's new project forge officially online

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

I'm proud to announce that we're almost done with one big entry in our TODO list for the ongoing server migration: Our indefero forge instance, a web-based project management software, is now set up and online under code.monotone.ca! The forge contains several monotone-related projects, each with their own bug tracker, wiki, ...

guitone and monotone 0.48

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

The current fourth release candidate of guitone doesn't work out of the box with monotone 0.48. The reason is that the minor interface version changed slightly and my version check is too strict in this regard. But there is an option for the rescue - simply check "relaxed version check" ...

Makefile-based InnoSetup automation with QMake

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Over the last couple of weeks I did several major improvements to the QMake-based build setup guitone uses: The project file comes now with one target to create a tarball, one to create a Mac OS X disk image containing all the needed Qt libraries and one target to install ...

This fourth release candidate is dedicated to Lena, the Eurovision Song Contest Winner of 2010 :). It comes with a few new nifty features like an improved changeset browser and enhanced certificate support, as well as a couple of other smaller improvements and bugfixes. The Tarball and a Mac OS X ...

Quitting a Qt application from the Mac OS X dock

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

So for some weird reason my application was not closable from the Mac OS X dock - it quit properly when you selected "Quit" from the application menu or hit the Cmd-Q shortcut - but the dock menu's quit action was completely ignored. While debugging the issue I hooked into QApplication::notify(QObject ...
