0.5.2 released
Hi everybody,
We are releasing 0.5.2 to get rid of some bugs in previous releases. Download Maemo build or Symbian build.
Symbian users: the build has been linked against 4.6.2 Qt libraries, so please upgrade your Qt to 4.6.2 before installing.
Maemo users: the data file location has changed, so you need to re-enter your blog details after upgrading. This should not happen anymore in the future.
Changes since 0.5.1 release:
Common to both platforms:
1. The application no longer writes a debug log file.
Maemo-specific changes:
1. Add photos dialog now finds images taken with the device camera.
2. The executable is now installed to /opt so that precious rootfs space is not wasted.
3. The data and other cache files are stored in different space so that they are easy to clean up in uninstall.
For installation instructions, please see this post by futubanister.

Ohh No. I just some how managed to install 0.5.1 and 4.6.1 qt just seconds back after getting all errors previously.

No problems. Installed the new version and everything’s running smooth.

How to enable rpc still i cant connect to my blog it says conn error and sometimes it just return back to login without any prompt.. Works good with .wordpress.com site

If you login with admin priviledges and go to the dashboard, select Settings and then Writing, can you check if the XML RPC checkbox is ticked?

That solves the problem
Thanks

Working perfectly for my three WP blogs.

Great work Janne, just about to install the new qt library, and 0.5.2 Will report back with my findings.
Micky 2:51 pm on February 18, 2010 Permalink |
Started to install, and replace previous qt version, but then failed to install due to lack of memory.
Will try again shortly, see what apps I am prepared to sacrifice .

If you installed by transferring the files via bluetooth, you should remove the old files from your inbox, they spend a lot of space there.
Also check with the file browser if there is anything in the phone memory that you can move to the memory card, like ringtones, wallpapers etc.

janne whats the problem in my side
Micky 3:21 pm on February 18, 2010 Permalink |
Thanks, yes, that is exactly what was the problem, its a real shame, that with a Nokia Flagship device we have to face these memory problems.
Anyway, all installed fine now, and I have only 20mb of phone memory left. Will post a couple of tests posts, short ones this time, and see how it goes. Have you added Copy and paste functionality in this release btw?

Working great Janne, great work my friend.

Are there plans to implement a spell checker in future releases? Also the loading bar appears to be working in this release, where as before it appeared frozen, and thus resulting in worry. Maybe the loading status bar could be changed to an intelligent one, similar to the one found in Gravity, the twitter app, whereas the scrolling goes back and forth similar to knight rider light, and then when actual data is being transferred, it shows this in segment increases. just an idea.
As said, great work.!
Janne Kalliomäki 3:41 pm on February 18, 2010 Permalink |
Thanks for the compliments! A spell checker is in the wishlist, but there is no ETA yet, as we have not yet decided the feature set of 0.6 release. The progess bar by the way seemed to have been fixed in Qt 4.6.2, so Qt is also progressing rapidly.

I’m a new user of the software but am having the same problem as in this post (http://dev.nokia.wordpress.org/2010/02/11/hello-i-will-create-a-new-branch-for-0/#comment-46) – I enter Blog details then get stuck at “Fetching main page”
Janne Kalliomäki 5:30 pm on February 18, 2010 Permalink |
Hi and thanks for the report! This sounds like some kind of a network problem. Are you sure you are using the latest build (0.5.2)? 0.5.0 had a severe bug that caused these issues, but later versions should work.
In case you are already using the latest version, can you please send the URL of your blog to me, either by replying to this comment or by email (janne.kalliomaki@futurice.com), so I can see if there is a problem in parsing the RSD API urls from the main page of your blog.
Jim 5:41 pm on February 18, 2010 Permalink |
I don’t think my blog is the issue as the application isn’t even initiating an internet connection. I’ve raised a ticket: http://nokia.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/26
Janne Kalliomäki 6:00 pm on February 18, 2010 Permalink |
Thanks, I’ve left you some questions in Trac.

Work’s Great so far Janne. Tested on the N900 (Maemo) and the N97 Mini.
vinitneo 4:00 am on February 19, 2010 Permalink |
Tested….
some problems….
1. Switching from landscape to portrait takes time.
2. Phone becomes unresponsive for 10-15 seconds after exiting the app.
3. T9 text entry has lots of problem like not going capital after full stop and STAYING CAPITAL and the inserting symbols is impossible… symbols are inserted at the start of the post.
———————–
waiting for inserting links, better way of inserting inline image, videos???
need more formatting options, spell check.

Besides the above points everything is working fine. I published this post without a problem via the wordpress app – http://tinyurl.com/ylkzt57

Thank you for this report. Which phone model are you using?
vinitneo 11:58 am on February 19, 2010 Permalink |
Nokia N97
Janne Kalliomäki 12:02 pm on February 19, 2010 Permalink |
Ok, I can test with N97 myself on Monday. Or pten, if you have time, can you verify the bugs and open tickets for them?
Peter Tennekes 12:48 pm on February 19, 2010 Permalink |
Thanks for your report! It is much appreciated.
Created: tickets http://nokia.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27 (mode switch), http://nokia.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28 (exit) and http://nokia.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/29 (T9).
Regarding the T9 I could use some more detailed examples. As I am not using the N97 myself it is hard to figure out when the T9 is not behaving as normal
vinitneo 1:21 pm on February 19, 2010 Permalink |
Ok, details – the first letter of the word is not capital, so i make it capital and it should become small from the next letter of the word (example – Toy) but it stays capital (example TOY) and I have to manually turn it small.
In T9 when entering symbols the cursor automatically resets to the start of the paragraph
I hope that explains it, if you have doubt on anything please ask me.
vinitneo 1:25 pm on February 19, 2010 Permalink |
I think all S60 V5 smartphones will be facing this T9 problem.

I’ve tested this version on a 5530 found the following:
Here’s a screen shot http://twitpic.com/14dg3g
Could you advise me where to post an official ticket for this please.
Cheers
Janne Kalliomäki 10:54 pm on February 20, 2010 Permalink |
Thank you for the screenshot. It looks like that there is white text on a white background. I’ll take a look at this on Monday.

I tried to install Qt and then WordPress for Nokia on my N97 and it appeared to install fine. but whenever I try to run it, it reboots the phone.
I know space on the C drive is a problem but I had about 40 MB before and 12 MB after. Is that enough? Only significant thing have installed to C is Ovi Maps which I am reluctant to uninstall.
Sorry if this has been covered before. I’ve searched but can’t find anything.
