Track@Way 1.0 HAS BEEN RELEASED!

As scheduled, Track@Way 1.0 stable has been released TODAY.

Please check the accouncement here: track@way 1.0

and download your relese here: Track@Way home page

OVI store releases will follow according to the usually slow OVI response times.

OVI store, you again...

Due to a certificate expiry problem, Track@Way will not be published on OVI store for a few more days.
Anyway, tomorrow i will release it on the web site at least.


Also, i have reorganized the web site. Let me know what do you think!

Track@Way first release almost ready...

After fixing the last two known fixable bugs (and quite minor as well), its time to paint a clearer idea of the first release of Track@Way.

Its scheduled for tomorrow, Friday 29th of July 2011, morning (CET).

This release will be avaialble over the Website and at the same time pushed on OVI Store. Given the usual OVI lag, my bet it will not surface on OVI until next week or next two weeks.

Anyway, on the web site i will be releasing:
- Track@Way 1.0 for Symbian and Symbian^3, free edition (with ads)
- Track@Way 1.0 Supporter for Symbian and Symbian^3 (paypal accepted)

- Track@Way 1.0 for Maemo5 (N900), free edition (with ads)
- Track@Way 1.0 Supporter for Maemo5 (N900) (paypal accepted)

- Track@Way 1.0 for MeeGo/Harmattan (N950, N9) free, no ads
- Track@Way 1.0 for Android (2.2+) free, no ads.

What's up...

Beside thinking of a port to WebOS (seems to be able to run Qt apps...)...

The weekend testing brought up some required fixes, and some translation updates.

At the moment i am almost ready to release 1.0 officiallly... But it would be lacking on translations. So i wait a few more days...

Track@Way beta 0.4 RELEASED!

For Symbian^3, S60v5, Android, Maemo5 and Harmattan!

Get it here: download Track@Way!

Release notes: Track@Way release info

News news

This is the plan: tomorrow (22/07/11) release of the last beta (called 0.4), then by the end of next week the first OFFICIAL release.

Not many languages will be supported at the moment... just English, Italian and Finnish. More to come later...


Some fixes:
- Fixed start livetrack button status
- Fixed maemo/harmattan default config file location
- Fixed kinetik lists dragging behaviour
- Fixed multiple satellites displayer bug
- Fixed the bug preventing to try again the breadcrumbs pin
- Fixed browser loading bar on browser startup
- Improved ability to click on browser (fix flickcharm)
- Added preliminary Finnish
- Added preliminary Italian
- Fixed dark background for labels on some themes

One more thing is to fix the FTWidgetList class which makes for the language config dialog a very hard to use dialog.

Maemo and MeeGo (harmattan) supported!

I decided to release immediately a beta for MeeGo and Maemo.

Go here:
http://www.trackaway.org/index.php/download/category/4-trackway-preview-releases

get them and try them!

Adding new platforms...

Ok, its not a big deal, but by friday i will release support for Maemo (Nokia N900) and MeeGo Harmattan (Nokia N9 / N950).

Maybe not many users out there, but it took me only a couple of hours to get working builds, thanks to Qt, so here they come.

Also, by the end of the week i will release one more BETA (0.3) which might as well be the LAST beta before a formal release next week. We will see!

What is boiling in the plate...

I have just released FreeTrack 1.3.40. This will be the last release for the FreeTrack series, except for major bugfixes if requested by the existing users.

Changelog:

• Upgraded screen orientation to support Qt 4.7.3.
• Remove "auto" orientation due to bug in Qt 4.7.3
• Fixed language crash on startup (certain phones/languages)
• Fixed "unable to start after first start" bug due to error in config file
• Some backports from Track@Way to improve tracking and speed
• Added InnerActive ads in free version

Everybody is urged to upgrade. OVI releases will follow given the usual slow OVI release cycle.

Some news...

After the second BETA release (quite stable!)...

Last friday i received the N950 Nokia gracefully lended me for development purposes and within a couple of days i intend to add support for Hartmattan. It should be just a matter of recompilation, so it whoulds not take too much.

Enjoy...

Guys,
i have been pretty busy rolling out an awsome Beta Release for you.

Its almost ready, so be patient, if everything goes well it will be out tomorrow (friday, 8 July 2011).

What will be in the beta release?
- full features are working
- landscape/portrait has been fixed (removed "force" buttons since they dont work with latest Nokia Qt), but not all dialogs works good yet, more work is required
- Added "ads". Sorry for this, but while in beta you can disable them from the configuration page (and they are very inconspicuous too, so dont worry, i hate them more than you do)
- Fixed quite some more bugs
- improved a few icons and layouts

So stay tuned, and be ready to download it!
