0.7 release from the trunk series released 2011-01-06

Release information

Release notes:

- Add support for repository fingerprints, and retrieve them from
  openprinting.org when available.
- Allow binary drivers if they have a valid GPG fingerprint on a trusted
  https:// site. This is a lot weaker than our usual archive trust chain,
  but as it's very hard to get a chain of trust to printer driver vendors,
  relying on good SSL certificates is the next best step, and still much
  better than what the average user does when searching and downloading a
  driver by himself.
- Add API for retrieving and installing a GPG key based on a fingerprint.
- Merge add_repository() into install_package(), which is much more
  practical for verifying whether a package in a new repository ist
  trustworthy.

0.6 release from the trunk series released 2010-11-25

Release information

Release notes:

- Add support and test case for reading modaliases from package headers.
- Put back "Additional Drivers" progress window title. Thanks Bilal
  Akhtar! (LP: #323815)
- jockey/detection.py, get_hardware(): Disable printer detection.
  cupshelpers.getDevices() is excruciatingly slow (about 15 seconds), and
  jockey is not normally used directly to install printer drivers.
  Instead, system-config-printer picks up new printers, and calls jockey
  with the device ID, so jockey does not need to detect printers by
  itself.
- jockey-kde: Use runtime .ui loading instead of pykdeuic4; the latter
  just keeps breaking.
- gtk/jockey-gtk.ui: Drop obsolete has_separator property; Explicitly set
  topmost GtkVBox fill property to True, as the default changed in GTK 3.0
  (GNOME #634592)
- Various tes...

0.5.9 release from the trunk series released 2010-07-23

Release information

Changelog:

- jockey-gtk: Fix progress dialogs to not be maximizable. (LP: #537911)
- jockey-kde: Do not parent the KMessageBox, since in some cases the errors can come before the MainWindow is initialized
- ui.py, check(): If the user is running Jockey with package installation or another long-running task in parallel, the automatic --check invocation will time out on connecting to the backend. This is not fatal, just print an error message instead of crashing. (LP: #403955)
- ui.py: Fix _check_repositories() to not invoke the UI and error dialogs in --check mode. (LP: #540750)
- jockey/xorg_driver.py: Simplify the logic in the enabled() method by only relying on X-Kit's isDriverEnabled() method. This will avoid getting false positives in the case in which the 1st Device section (i.e. the only one that we used to check) uses the right driver but the same section is irrelevant as it's not mentioned in the ServerLayout section.
- i18n "Install Drivers" string. (LP: #542552)
- jockey-kde: Don't crash when closed with the "x" button (LP: #552723, LP: #398912) Thanks ThorbjørnTux!
- Add a fake modalias file for local testing
- Update translations from Launchpad and update German ones
- Fix Polish translation. (LP: #451968)
- Add Handler.auto_install() flag and --auto-install mode. Thanks to Evan Dandrea!
