Hello, I just released Read 72. This release has much more robust Epub support (the "spine" handling code got a overhaul). For the end-user, this means that more Epub files should be supported by Read, including the ones which Google Books have started to distribute[1]. This release also gets rid of the binary pywebkitgtk blob from the bundle, since the required version of pywebkitgtk should appear soon in both Fedora Rawhide and Fedora 11 (updates).
The activity has been tested to work on Fedora 11 based systems such as SOAS-Strawberry, and it will work in a Sucrose 0.84 (or higher) environment. However, if you are using SOAS or the Fedora 11 builds for XO-1 or XO-1.5, you will need to install WebkitGTK (and the corresponding Python bindings), python-lxml and python-BeautifulSoup. The following command would do the trick: yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install webkitgtk pywebkitgtk python-lxml python-BeautifulSoup (Note that the activity should work even you do not have these installed in your system - only the Epub support will not be available) Source code =========== http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/fructose/Read/Read-72.tar.bz2 XO Bundle ========= http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/bundles/read/Read-72.xo [2] Changes ======== * More robust Epub support * Do not print each and every key-event to log (dslo#752) * Updated translations (French, Italian) * Get rid of the pywebkitgtk binary blob Thanks, Sayamindu [1] http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/download-over-million-public-domain.html [2] I'll update activities.sugarlabs.org as soon as I get the proper access -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings] _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
