Barry version 0.7 (alpha) released
Hello Barry Fans, A long overdue version of Barry has finally hit the servers. This version includes RPM binary releases for Barry, including bcharge, btool, and the GUI backup program. Thanks to Troy Engel doing the main work on this. The Debian package rules have been updated for Etch by Peter Silva. I still need to upgrade my system to Etch, at which point I'll be able to build a proper .deb binary release and include it with the rest of the packages on SourceForge. Work is continuing behind the scenes, adding support for syncing calendar items with OpenSync 0.22. This is still _highly_ experimental, and backups of both your device and your desktop software data should be done before playing. Please. Backup. There's even a GUI in RPM format now to do your backups with, so there's no excuse.(Continue reading)The OpenSync plugin is not nearly as polished as I would have liked for a release. I hope version 0.8 will be much more feature rich, and be released shortly as well. It may depend on OpenSync 0.30, depending how things hash out. I'd be happy to discuss this if people are interested. And speaking of version 0.8, please report any problems with the binary packages in 0.7, so they can be fixed for 0.8. This is the first major binary release, and I want to hear of any bumps in the road.
