libmygpo-qt 1.0.5 released

Amarok 2.5 is nearby, gpodder.net getting more features every few
weeks, so it is time for a new Version of libmygpo-qt including some bugfixes & new features.

I'm also looking for contributors, so if you wanna work on a interesting library used atm by Amarok & Nokia Podcasts, drop me a line.

Changes in libmygpo-qt 1.0.5:
-) fixed a bug in downloadSubscriptionsJson()
-) changed the way http basic auth information is transmitted to gpodder.net to no longer getting annoying popups when using
libmygpo-qt with KIO from KDE 4.7.X
-) implemented functions to access the new API for retrieving synchronization information of devices
-) implemented functions to retrieve toplist and search results in gpodders custom XML format
-) added "ConfigStyle" package finding to CMake Buildsystem

General Infos about libmygpo-qt

What is libmygpo-qt?

libmygpo-qt is a Qt/C++ Library wrapping the gPodder.net Webservice. It was created as part of a University Course & it is used in Amarok (since 2.4.1) with the new gpodder.net
Service, that makes the gpodder.net Podcast Directory available from within Amarok.

The next Version of Amarok (2.5) requires libmygpo-qt 1.0.5 for the gPodder PodcastProvider, with which you can synchronize your local Podcasts between Amarok and gpodder.net (and other podcatchers with gpodder.net integration).

GSoC update: Subscription sync with Amarok

Another update from Lucas Lira Gomes about his Google Summer of Code project that aims to integrate gpodder.net with Amarok: He has now managed to get synchronization working, with some pretty neat UI integration:

Check out more screenshots and a description of them on Lucas' blog.

GSoC update: Podcast synchronization in Amarok

Lucas Lira Gomes has once again updated his blog with some information about the progress on getting gpodder.net integration working with Amarok:

[GSoC] Podcast Subscription Synchronisation

Expect some more updates regarding the normal version of gPodder, including support for recently announced MeeGo devices soon. In July, we will be working hard on getting the new release in shape, and we'll also have some updates for the current 2.x branch of releases. Until then, enjoy the weather.

GSoC update: Amarok integration progressing

As part of Google Summer of Code 2011, Lucas Lira Gomes is working on gpodder.net integration for Amarok, the KDE media player. In his latest blog post, he gives us an update about his progress:

At this point, podcast playlist syncing doesn't have a way to show only a subset of predetermined episodes, for this reason we will see some episodes, from before the synchronisation, that should be not shown in Amarok. This will be fixed as soon as we get some priorities done first, since that bug don't prevent usage.

This week, I will try to run a gpodder.net server, as suggested by our libmygpo-qt comrade, HorrusHorrendus, in order to make the next part of this project easier to test. I also plan to continue coding the existing skeleton of the plug­in infrastructure for the gpodder integration with Amarok.

Lucas says he will have some more updates next week, so if you want to be up to date when Amarok's gpodder.net-related feature set exceeds that of gPodder, subscribe to his blog!

libmygpo-qt 1.0.3 released, new Git repository location

Our resident gpodder.net C++ client master Stefan returns with another release announcement: The Amarok team has released Amarok 2.4.1, it's the first widespread application to use libmygpo-qt. Thanks for all the feedback since libmygpo-qt 1.0.2 - it's time again for a new bugfix release, so here it is: libmygpo-qt 1.0.3 :)

If you are using the Git repository, please be aware that since this release, the Git repository URL for libmygpo-qt has changed - the library now lives inside the "gpodder" project on Github (other parts of the gPodder ecosystem will move to this location shortly when new versions are released): https://github.com/gpodder/libmygpo-qt

Changes in libmygpo-qt 1.0.3:

• All private classes used in libmygpo-qt were moved into their own header files (name_p.h) instead of having them in the .cpp files
• UrlBuilder now uses the fast string concatenation of Qt
• Some unneeded files were removed (RequestHandlerTest & tests/Makefile.man)
• Fixed a bug in the build system
• General cleanup of unnecessary #include statements
