New release - 0.4

[landas]

1. I have drafted a new release (only visible to project members), but I don't know all new bug fixes and improvements that is worth mentioning. Could someone fill in missing bullet points?

2. Is there any issues that should be closed before 0.4 release?

3. We have to remember to update version number here before release:

   openambit/src/openambit/CMakeLists.txt

   Line 4 in ed204af

   set (OPENAMBIT_VERSION HEAD)

Copy of current draft:

Improvements

• Implement i18n in OpenAmbit #63 - Added internationalization (de, fr, it, ja, nb, nl, pl, sv)
• Added support for pool swimming sample uploads to movescount
• Added custom mode (Superdupersvard) #130 Added support for syncing sport modes with movescount
• Sync navigation items (POIs / routes) (ambit2) #125 Added support for syncing navigations items (waypoints and routes) with movescount

Bugs

• Lots of bug fixed?

[manisandro]

Scanning the commits since 0.3, other things worth mentioning I see:

• Support Qt5
• Split movescount support to separate library

As for the issues, many open issues will most probably never see any activity again. I'd suggest closing these with "Closing issue without any recent activity. Feel free to reopen if issue is still relevant".

[landas]

I have closed a lot of old issues, with the text "Closing issue without any recent activity. Feel free to reopen if issue is still relevant".

I have added version numbers to CMakeLists.txt in commit 59f2a3e

I think 0.4 is good to go, so who is resposible for releases? 😄

[manisandro]

Good question, I suspect it's either you or me ;)

Would be nice to discover how to update the homepage, AFAICS it is not controlled through gh-pages.
Also, there is a PPA at https://launchpad.net/~openambit, I've sent a message to the owner to enquire about the PPA status resp. for having access so that we can update the packages there.

[landas]

The domain is owned by @svenstorp, and seems like it is hosted on a server owned by him.

Do you know how the Debian package is updated? https://packages.debian.org/jessie/openambit

To release, is all we need to to click the "Publish release". Will the downloads be created automatically, or do we have to create them manually?

[manisandro]

Updating the Debian package is up to its maintainer (Christian Perrier bubulle@debian.org).
When you publish the release, links to tarballs for the release tag (i.e. a git archive for the tag) will appear on the download page. Any other downloads will need to be created manually, but I don't think any other are needed.
On my part I am maintainer for the Fedora package and I'll look at updating that one.

[manisandro]

Some code of a recent PR isn't QT5 compatible. Patch following soonish, perhaps worth holding off the release for a second?

[manisandro]

I've force-unpushed the 0.4 tag and pushed some fixes. As far as I can see things should be okay now.

[landas]

Thnx

[manisandro]

Perhaps do a quick check whether your recent work also works with Qt5, then I think we can do the 0.4 release.

[landas]

Could you tell me where i need to change config or flag to compile with Qt5 😄

I have tried to set USE_QT5 ON, but it still seems like it is compiling with Qt4.

$ readelf -d openambit-build/openambit

Dynamic section at offset 0x46d98 contains 33 entries:
Tag        Type                         Name/Value
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libQtCore.so.4]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libQtGui.so.4]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libQtNetwork.so.4]
...

[landas]

I found a way to compile with Qt5, but I had to add option(USE_QT5 "Build against Qt5" ON) to src/movescount/CMakeLists.txt and src/openambit/CMakeLists.txt.

The only way I can build this project is using ./build.sh

When i try:

cmake .
make

the compiler complains about a lot of "undefined reference to ..."

^ The problems i had above was due to the compiler used old libs in /usr/local

I will test my code tomorrow if it works fine with Qt5.

*I* am in charge of this, as member of the Debian "pkg-running" group, that maintains sport-related packages. I'm particularly concerned by Openambit as a Suunto watch owner...and a frequent runner..:-) However, the version in jessie and stretch *cannot* change: this is Debian policy to never update software to upstream new version in stable releases. jessie is the current Debian stable and stretch is the next one, which is currently under freeze for an up-to-come release. So, I will update the Debian package, but I can do that only for the Debian unstable release, that is the next Debian version, which is due out....probably in 2 years. So.....there if of course a solution with what we call "backports". There are specific Debian repositories named "jessie-backports" (and "stretch-backports"....but only when Debian "stretch" is released) and where updated packages can be uploaded with new upstream versions for stable releases. Such packages are meant to be maintained as close as possible to the Debian "stable" release, though security updates are *not* guaranteed. I will let you known, guys, about all this when I prepare Debian packages for the 0.4 release. For all this to happen....I just need an official release tarball and....time..:-) (nowadays, I do much much much more running and ultra-trail running than Debian packaging....:-) )

[landas]

@bubulle Thanks for your information about the Debian package. The snow is back in Norway, hopefully gone tomorrow. Happy running. 😄

@manisandro I have tested waypoints and routes with Qt5 to be ok.

[manisandro]

@landas Ok I'll tag the release then!

BTW, I have published version 0.4 plus current additional commits at the following Ubuntu PPAs:

• https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/ubuntu/dsta-xenial-ppa
• https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/ubuntu/dsta-yakkety-ppa
• https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/ubuntu/dsta-zesty-ppa

(still built against QT4, the README needs an update for the new dependencies when QT5 is used)

Hello fellow developers, What's the status of the 0.4 release? I just went to the home page on openambit.org but found nothing about 0.4. I guess there is still work in progress, is there?

Hi @bubulle,

As you know, we are a small team so you might have difficulty to find a package for your distribution. So you might have to compile it your self. The files for 0.4 release you find here:
https://github.com/openambitproject/openambit/releases/tag/0.4

Ubuntu: @centic9 has kindly created packages in his private PPAs. See post above.
Fedora: It is included in Fedora 26 Alpha

Hello Lars, Well, my motiviation is precisely to create packages if you read former contributions, as I'm the Debian maintainer of OpenAmbit. However, for this, I mostly need an "official" tarball, which I could use as a basis for this. So, my point was mostly getting news on such last step of an official release. Last time I read mails from the BTS, my understanding is that there was some work about the release notes.....which seems to indicate that you're near to complete the release. Am I wrong?

[manisandro]

Hi @bubulle
Version 0.4 is released, the official tarball is the one which can be downloaded from the 0.4 release page (https://github.com/openambitproject/openambit/archive/0.4.tar.gz).

@manisandro could these links be an answer to #134 (comment)?
