Stellarium 0.11.2 has been released

Hello to all.

As planned, version 0.11.2 has been released yesterday. Some notes:

As the team spans some radically different time zones, for the next
time we should specify not only a release date, but also a time, in
UTC, for the people involved in the release to gather in the IRC
channel.

Separating the release in a branch creates a problem with
translations, as Launchpad's web interface maintains different
translations for different branches. Translators usually work on the
trunk page, but the announcement of a release candidate directed them
towards the 0.11 series page:
https://translations.launchpad.net/stellarium/trunk/+translations
https://translations.launchpad.net/stellarium/0.11/+translations
We need better (and consistent) communication with the translators.
Also, after the multiple splits and merges, I don't have the slightest
idea if the current translations, in the web interface or the code
itself, are up-to-date.

Speaking of communication with the translators, what happened to the
translator team at Launchpad?
https://launchpad.net/~stellarium-translation
The release candidate was announced on that team's mailing list, but
it's not tied in any way to Stellarium's translations in Launchpad. As
far as I can remember, it was a part of the effort of migrating to
Launchpad which was abandoned after it turned out that Launchpad's
mailing list don't support "reply-to address munging". Meanwhile, I've
been announcing my test builds on the Translators forum at

Apple compiler flags

In the root CMakeLists.txt file I see something which strikes me as odd.

After we set the build type, we add a bunch of platform-dependent
compiler and linker flags to the base set for the current build type.
These statements are generally of the form:

SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} ...)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} ...)

However, in the APPLE section I see this:

SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -fno-common -Wall -Wextra")
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -fno-common -Wall -Wextra
-Wno-unused-parameter")

Note the CXX flags take the root from the C flags.  Is this a mistake
or deliberate?

cmake isues [Re: Apple compiler flags]

Cannot answer this one, but another minor config issue I stumbled over
yesterday:

On first cmake run after a fresh checkout, the cmake panel in QtCreator
tells you to inform the developers about a mismatch in
cmake/FindXGettext.cmake.

Actually, it's a 1-letter capitalisation issue, only line 23 in this file
should read

  ENDIF (XGettext_REQUIRED)

BTW, cmake (2.8, win7, QtCreator from Qt2010.05) correctly gives a failure
if Iconv is not found, but silently accepts missing gettext entries, which
leads to failure later when building. Any cmake experts here to fix this?

Best regards,
Georg

Launchpad new member applications

Hi all,

So launchpad tells me there are several people who have applied to
join the Stellarium group on launchpad.  I don't recognize any of the
names except hikiko.  Does anyone know these people / can vouch for
them / say what they have done for the project and why they should be
accepted as "core members of the Stellarium project"?

hikiko
Glen Sansoucie	
hanju jung	
taisuke watanabe
tylande_sw

Re: Launchpad new member applications

Hi!

1) Thank you for your approval. It makes bugfixing easier...

2) Just a guess, the translators list is quite long, maybe you find some
names there? Else, your observation fits mine.

Kind regards,
Georg

Re: GSOC update

Oh wow, nice going guys.  I don't know anything about what's happened
so far except that it was being discussed.  So what happens next?

Re: GSOC update

Has anyone put any work into a GPS/location plugin to Stellarium?

With these bindings it will be fairily straight forward, and will bring
in support for Android and desktops with gpsd (non-windows):
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/location-overview.html

I _might_ do this.

Why do we put up with having our mailing list mangled like this?
There are plenty of other places to host mailing lists without this
sort of treatment.

Um, I don't understand. Stellarium is not in the list of "mentoring
organisations" released today:
