Hi, For those of you wondering what's happening on the devel front, here's a quick status update:
* I've started work on the new card browser. Not only does it show questions and answers, but also other stuff like grade, next scheduled repetition, date added, ... . Despite showing much more info than it's 1.x counterpart, it's much faster and uses less memory too, thanks to the wonders of Qt4. The browser is still far from finished though, as I need to add searching and filtering, and right-click actions like 'edit card', etc... * Apple recently changed some of their draconian policies for iPhone development so that now all software tools and languages seem to be allowed for development. This means that it would be feasible to run libmnemosyne (written in Python) as a backend for the ObjC GUI app that Ullrich is writing. I've written some glue code to embed Python and libmnemosyne in a C/C++/objC app, allowing easy two-way communication between the two languages. * As another spin-off of the discussion caused by Apple's announcement, there is now also yet another way to interface non-Python clients with libmnemosyne, namely through a UDP socket. This approach is not useful for the iPhone app, as the iPhone does not support full multitasking, but it does seem to be the easiest way to hook up Tim's 1.x Android client MnemoDoDo to 2.x's libmnemosyne. All of this has detracted from the desktop development somewhat, but if it allows in the end that all clients on all platforms make use of the same codebase to do all the GUI independent heavy lifting, that would be a huge bonus. All past and future work, bug fixes, optimisations going into libmnemosyne would then immediately benefit all platforms, which would be a huge saving in terms of developer resources.
