Basqet 0.1.2 for OS/2

I just got a mail from a fellow telling me he had ported Basqet 0.1.2 to OS/2. This is so cool. I remember OS/2 as my first stumbling attempts to move from Windows, there where just not the applications I needed. And now I can have Basqet on OS/2 and possibly other nice Qt applications as well. 


Here is a screen-shot:

Basqet version 0.1.2 is released

From a users perspective there are mainly two changes: the Basqet version is now shown in the about-box, and for Linux users the files needed to have Basqet in the program menu is added with instructions.

In the source code, the build system is updated so that the target is all in lower case and the make install is now working properly.

The reason for making a new release so fast is to support Linux package managers building binary packages with Basqet. Hopefully Basqet will be part of Qt Desktop, a set of cross platform applications entirely build on Qt.

Basqet is now in Gentoo Portage

This is a great moment of payback to the open source comunity and a warm feeling inside of doing something meaningsfull. This weekend I wrote a trouble ticket to Gentoo asking to add Basqet to portage. The answer was that it is already there since a few days. This is greate. Beeing a Gentoo user I have just emerge it (installed it) to my computer. It is not yet updated to versin 0.1.1 but still it is there.

For me, this is really big.

Basqet v 0.1.0 is now released!

I am proud to announce that Basqet version 0.1.0 is now available for download on the project page. This is the first non-alpha or beta release. Last weeks have been focused on testing and verifying a stable product. I have no known issues in the current version.

So, please download the new version, it can be installed over the old one (I learned that one have to shut down Basqet first though ;) ).
