Hello! The my.gpodder.org Uni project is quickly approaching its end, and so you can expect lots of mygpo-related news this and next week.
Today, I've landed the first big patch for the Advanced API integration on my.gpodder.org. Right now, you can't really test this, because I had to apply some fixes to the web service to get things going that are not yet deployed on the production installation, because we still have to run the changes through our mini-QA process ;) At the next deployment (which should happen later this week), the new changes will be merged in the production installation. What does this mean in user terms (techies can check out the diff ;): * Settings dialog with device configuration (for managing multiple gPodder installations on different devices with one user account) * Automatic background synchronization when subscription list changes (the client will upload changes to the web server and request updates from it - with "diff-like" support to save bandwidth) * Manage your subscription list away from your computer (e.g. in a Internet cafe or at a friend's house) on the website - gPodder will automatically present the changes to you the next time you run it and will allow you to confirm or reject the changes Oh, and this change introduces a hard dependency on the "mygpoclient" library. If you don't want to install the library right now, you can simply ignore the new commits and check out the Git tag "gpodder-before-mygpoclient" from the repository. Please be aware that we are not going to support the non-mygpoclient version anymore due to practical reasons (it hopefully gets mygpoclient packaged up more quickly ;). In related news, mygpoclient has been packed for Debian and is currently waiting in Debian's NEW queue for checking: http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/mygpoclient_1.0-1.html Please note that gPodder will always work WITHOUT a my.gpodder.org account, although we'd be happy to hear from you why you don't want to use the web service in case you decide not to use it :) As long as you don't set the "mygpo_enabled" configuration option to "True", gPodder will not communicate with my.gpodder.org. And if you want to set up your own mygpo installation, simply set the "mygpo_server" variable to the hostname of your installation - easy! :) Enjoy!
