Patch applied. A big thank for this patch. Like many other coders on this list, it was part of sort-of-todo-list-for-viking :-) Furthermore, I think it give a really better user's experience. > 2) http://github.com/jocelynj/viking/commits/etag > > This branch contains some commits to add etag support for maps > download. Etag is simply a code that a website can send alongside a > picture, and can be returned by the client to the server so that the > serveur checks if there is a new picture to send. If the Etag is > correct, then no new picture is sent.

In a more larger think, I don't knwo if we have to keep the work around auto-refresh feature. It seems like a work-in-progress feature. Perhaps should we remove it before 1.0 and plan it for a later release? What is your feeling about that? PS: I've just came back from holidays and before that I had lot of work in real-life. So, I certainly forget some patch suggestion. If so, feel free to remind them to my mind with a private mail. -- Guilhem BONNEFILLE -=- JID: gu...@im.apinc.org MSN: guilhem_bonnefi...@hotmail.com -=- mailto:guilhem.bonnefi...@gmail.com -=- http://nathguil.free.fr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Viking-devel mailing list Viking-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/viking-devel Viking home page: http://viking.sf.net/
