Genesis Sync

Genesis Sync is a graphical frontend (GUI) for SyncEvolution.

Genesis is a graphical user interface for SyncEvolution written in PyGTK. It makes SyncEvolution accessible without having to use a command line and provides graphical feedback of transaction results.

Installation:

sudo python setup.py install

What is new in this release:

• The 0.7 series is now based on PyGI/GTK3.

What is new in version 0.6.3:

• It is a minor update that matches SyncEvolution 1.2 and fixes a few bugs.

What is new in version 0.6.2:

• It adds support for the extended D-Bus APIs of the recently released SyncEvolution 1.1.
• Both releases are an example of the close relationship between Genesis and SyncEvolution: Genesis was the first external application to make use of the SyncEvolution D-Bus API, and the API was improved with the feedback from Genesis developers. With SyncEvolution 1.1 and Genesis 0.6.2, the integration between the two applications is even better. End users will notice only little differences, but some annoying glitches now belong to the past. The most visible change is that Genesis will now display the server name when showing sync results.
• Additionally, the translations were updated with the latest strings from Launchpad Rosetta. Thanks to all translators, and keep up the good work!

What is new in version 0.6.1:

• Update todo
• Don't limit window handling to cases where the icon is in ERROR state
• RC2 prepared and uploaded
• Get dependencies right
• Reset icon when stopping animation, so it starts from beginning the next time
• Removed panel-like application icons
• RC prepared
• * Refine ubuntu-mono icons (make stroke thicker)
• Added ubuntu-mono icons Updated translation (Template, German)
• watch for configuration changes and update menu
• New beta released
• Refactored AnimIcon Added error handling
• Don't launch sync-ui more than once, raise window instead
• Added AnimIcon implementation based on StatusIcon
• Add syncevolution dependency
• Prepare first beta release
• Imported translations from old trunk
• Rewrite of Genesis, using the quickly framework and application indicators.

What is new in version 0.6:

• Finally, the first version of Genesis in the 0.6 series is released. It is the first release after the major rewrite, and it puts Genesis onto a new basis. Genesis now makes heavy use of new features of SyncEvolution (especially using D-Bus for inter-process communication and using sync-ui for configuration). It also fits much better into the current Ubuntu release (10.04 Lucid Lynx), making use of ApplicationIndicators and providing matching panel icons.
• I am quite happy with this release, as now Genesis found its place in the new syncevo-dbus-server/sync-ui infrastructure, adding functionality and comfort, but not duplicating efforts.
• Many thanks go to the developers of Quickly < https://launchpad.net/quickly >, a quite new application development framework. Quickly takes much of the pain of doing new releases and publishing PPA packages, allowing me to focus on the development of Genesis, not on packaging. The current release was a nice test for quickly's current capabilities and resulted in some minor improvements in Quickly itself.
• As a side note: The release carries the version number 0.6.1 instead of 0.6. This was due to an error in the versioning of the beta releases and was necessary to ensure the final release supersedes the betas.

What is new in version 0.6 RC:

• The "new" Genesis is almost ready: A first release candidate is available from the unstable PPA [1] for Ubuntu Lucid users. Users of older Ubuntu releases or of other distributions are currently asked to grab the current source code from bzr. The final release will be made available for more Ubuntu versions and as source tarball.
• The release candidate is in a quite stable state, I'm already using it on a daily basis. All users who curious about the new shape of Genesis and who are willing to test the release candidate are invited to try out the new Genesis. If you do so, please report any bugs you notice. But also any other feedback is appreciated.

What is new in version 0.4.3:

• It is mainly a bugfix release, solving some outstanding issues. Thanks for his contributions to davidcaste, who put a lot of effort into triaging and fixing these bugs.
• In the meanwhile, work on the 0.5 series has begun. It will bring some internal refactoring as well as visible new features. The exact feature set or a release date are not yet decided on and partly depend on upstream work on SyncEvolution. The 0.4 series will be maintained until a stable 0.5 release is ready.

What is new in version 0.4.2.1:

• Only few days after the release of Genesis 0.4.2, a bugfix release was necessary. The internal switch from glade to gtk.Builder was more troublesome than I had hoped. Additionally, a problem in the source distribution was discovered and fixed.
• All users should upgrade to the new release to avoid problems. Sorry for the inconvenience.

What is new in version 0.4 Final:

• Genesis 0.4 was introduced with some major changes that added support for syncevolution 0.8. Since the first beta, it had undergone some testing. During this time, some changes under the hood were introduced, like a new logging infrastructure and a new config module. And there is now a debian package available from my PPA.
