Description Pol 2004-03-02 09:23:38 UTC
Here is the list of new features for GnomeMeeting 1.00:

    Main GUI :

        * Defaults to h323: or callto: if no url handler is specified and automatically rewrites the URL in the GUI
        * Improved the incoming call dialog so that it displays the remote URL (either the IP or the remote party number or the remote alias)
        * Added a speed dials submenu in the Call menu. All users for which you are adding a speed dial in the addressbook will be listed there, that gives a fast and easy way to call your friend or to transfer any existing call to them
        * Do not display DTMF's in the URL bar during calls
        * Added alphabet to the dialpad
        * More HIG compliance (thanks to Fabrice Alphonso)

    Address book :

        * Allow to rename groups and servers
        * Allow to have a group name identical to a server name while keeping them distinct and vice-versa
        * Keep the last selected page as current when deleting, adding or renaming a group or a server
        * Automatically enable the current group in the groups list when adding a new contact
        * Added a menu entry to the right-click menu to copy the URL of the currently selected contact to the clipboard

    Preferences window :

        * Rewrote the preferences window code
        * Added info dialog for codecs
        * Administrators can block some settings to default values, they will be grayed out in the preferences
        * Rewrote the PC-To-Phone configuration window

    Calls history:

        * Added call end reason for calls
        * Remember last 100 calls

    Audio :

        * Added support for plugins (Julien Puydt, Craig Southeren)
        * Added support for native ALSA

    Video :

        * Added support for plugins (Julien Puydt, Craig Southeren)
        * Improved performances of the video grabber
        * Fixed palette problem due to a bug in the Philips webcams driver
        * Fixed problem with bttv under 2.6.0

        * Completely rewrote the configuration assistant to make it simpler and more HIG compliant
        * Users are now only registered to ILS if they explicitely request it
        * Automatically disable video transmission when there is no video device for the selected plugin
        * Added VU Meter support (widget from Stefan Bru

        * New PC-To-Phone configuration window
        * Added a way to force "stay-on-top" for video windows
        * Updated translations

yes we know about releases, we'll put ebuilds in when they're ready. 

gnomemeeting 1.0 needs failry recent pwlib versions that are not in portage yet.

stkn, can you take a look at the pwlib and openh323 updates?

thanks
Comment 7 Edward Middleton 2004-03-06 06:51:06 UTC
This link might be useful in explaining the situation

http://www.openh323.org/pipermail/openh323/2004-February/065553.html
Comment 8 Stefan Knoblich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-06 19:20:38 UTC
k,

first time i've read the bug (and not only the mails..), didn't see this
bug had some updated ebuilds, so i've prepared my own updated pwlib and openh323 ebuilds:

1. in the pwlib ebuild in src_compile the last two lines should be:
        emake opt || die "make failed"
        emake PWLIBDIR=${S} -C plugins opt || die "make plugins failed"

   this will build the plugins too

2. in the openh323 ebuild in src_compile 
               makeopts="${makeopts} ASNPARSER=/usr/bin/asnparser NOTRACE=1 \
               LDFLAGS=-L${S}/lib"

   without this the build process will stop at linking the simple example,
   (if you're updating openh323) because it's using the libs from /usr/lib

michael: i'll include your econf changes, but the --with-plugins line needs a 
         little modification (to respect the use-flags)

Comment 10 Stefan Knoblich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-11 18:11:53 UTC
new openh323 and pwlib versions are in portage,
the good news is: gnomemeeting-1.00 builds fine.
the bad news is: everything prior 1.00 won't...
Comment 11 Pol 2004-03-13 14:58:08 UTC
ok ... why dont you add gm 1.0 in portage now ?
Comment 12 Carlos Vendramini 2004-03-13 17:51:26 UTC
I'm using XFCE 4.0.4 and, to compile Gnomemeeting 1.0, I had to add "app-text/scrollkeeper" to "gnomemeeting-1.0.ebuild" as a dependence.
Comment 13 Stefan Knoblich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-16 16:16:13 UTC
gnomemeeting-1.00 is in the tree now
Comment 14 Jordi Vilalta 2004-07-03 08:35:57 UTC
Then, could you please change its status to CLOSED?
