Entertainer 0.4 is released!
I just announced it officially on the team’s Launchpad page, but Entertainer 0.4 is out. Check out the installation instructions on the wiki for the play by play of how to get things going.
Thanks to all the other developers who help make Entertainer possible. You guys rock.
Perl Testing: A Developer’s Notebook
I just finished reading Perl Testing: A Developer’s Notebook by Ian Langworth and chromatic (yes, one of the authors identifies himself/herself as “chromatic,” presumably for privacy concerns). All in all, the book was eye opening in understanding the world of testing in Perl. I develop Perl code at work in a culture that does not [...]
Installing Entertainer 0.3
My previous post on installing Entertainer proved to be quite popular. Since quite a bit has changed in Entertainer between 0.1 and 0.3, I’ve decided it would be worth writing the instructions again to prevent confusion. However, for the benefit of people who never see my blog but will visit Entertainer’s Lauchpad page, I have [...]
On Translations
What!? I have a blog!? I guess I should say something.
I recently worked on improving the translations workflow for Entertainer, and hopefully this work will help make Entertainer rock for i18n (which is short for internationalization in the global community because the word is very long, 18 letters long, to be exact).
In the [...]
Coming Soon, Entertainer 0.2
Yeah, yeah, we missed our milestone deadline of 9-26-08, but we’re close to getting 0.2 finished.
For those of you looking for a lot of new flashiness and cool user interface features, I’m afraid 0.2 won’t have a ton to offer. With some contributions from new developers, we have added some features like a photo slideshow [...]
Installing Entertainer 0.1
Only two bugs that we (the Entertainer developers) targeted for our 0.1 milestone missed the release deadline. Unfortunately, both of these missed bugs (Bug 232365 ‘provide a PPA respository for hardy’ and Bug 236271 ‘Need a simple pdf guide for new users’) have fairly big consequences for people who are trying to get Entertainer up [...]
Entertainer Media Center 0.1 is released into the wild!
As an Entertainer Developer, I’m very proud to get our first big release out the door! 0.1 is the culmination of a lot of hard work over the past few weeks months.
It’s quite a feat to develop and release software and the effort was only made possible by the hard work of Jamie Bennett, Michael [...]
.1 is coming! .1 is coming!
The Entertainer developers have scheduled our first release for June 14th. As with lots of other open source projects, our .1 release is meant to be a preview release to get the software out to many users and get feedback, testing, questions, and, of course, new bug reports.
As you can see from our bugs list [...]
Code cleanup with pylint
Entertainer is at a coding crossroads. Lauri has done a great job of showing Entertainer as a viable (and beautiful) media center software. However, a portion of this code is more like prototype code than production code (probably since Lauri is fairly new to python like myself). Eventually, this code would become a big maintenance [...]
