FBReader 0.8.14 (just a bugfix for 0.8.13)

[geometer]

Hello All,

FBReader 0.8.13 sometimes crashes at start. :( This is almost always
reproducable on Maemo platforms, but is possible for other platforms
too.

This release fixes this problem. There is no more changes in 0.8.14.

Nikolay,

Thanks for your Motorola A1200 official support. Still not satisfied with the look and feel, please find attached patch to make it better and I have a trick to make the menubar icon look so smooth ;)

Hi Ketut,

Great! Thank you. I should ask what do you think about this document:
http://www.fbreader.org/docs/contributions.php? Is it possible to
include your changes in our mainstream? Or, alternatively, you can
prefer to distribute it under the GPL only.

There is also another question. Does 'id' language code means
'Indonesian'? If so, may be you can create fully Indonesian
localization for FBReader? (As described at http://www.fbreader.org/docs/i18n.php)
It will be really great to have Indonesian support for _ALL_ FBReader
platforms!

Nikolay,

You're welcome. You can use my code for everything you want. With small change, now it's work on E680i too :) My change including qspinbox widget taken from qte-2.3.10 (E680i/A780 libqte have no qspinbox widget), font size (15 pitch E680i's default font look so bad), and disabling EZX hardware button so I can use Real Player, FM Radio, Call, and Camera button as FBReader shortcut.

Yes, 'id' mean Indonesian. Still incomplete but I will try to finish it soon even my English not good enough ;)

Thank you very much!

There is only 1 problem -- we cannot include a part of the qt code to
our product.

Very good! Hope to include Indonesian localization into the next
release. ;)

In addition to it's commercial license, Qt has an "open source" license
(basically if your source code is available for free, then you can use
qt for free).

http://trolltech.com/products/qt/licenses/licensing/licensingoverview

Fbreader is available under the GPL, which obviously counts as open
source. Or am I misunderstanding something?

On the other hand, Trolltech was recently bought out by Nokia so who
knows what will happen.

By the way, FBreader and vbaattax rock! Keep up the great work.

Yes, there are some additional details: http://www.fbreader.org/docs/contributions.php

Nikolay,

For E680i/A780 device, can we distribute static qspinbox library outside FBReader distribution? Is this solution acceptable?

Related to FBReader Indonesian localization work, can you help me to convert attached TeX hyphenation pattern to FBReader pattern?

And a bad news, browsing attached e-book 'How to Become a Hacker by Eric Steven Raymond' make FBReader freeze. Tested on both E680i and A1200. 'Marie Gourdon by Maud Ogilvy' in mobipocket format also make FBReader freeze.

Yes, I think this is acceptable. We can distribute it in the binary
package.

> Related to FBReader Indonesian localization work, can you help me to convert attached TeX hyphenation pattern to FBReader pattern?

Done: http://www.fbreader.org/tmp/id.pattern (This file is also added
into the hyphenationPatterns.zip.)

Could you please sent me a sample text file (or several files) in
Indonesian? I could also generate a pattern file for Indonesian
language (and encoding) auto-detection.

Thank you, I've found and fixed the problem (for this file). Hope,
this is last fix of this bug. ;)
