I'm pleased to announce the release of GNOME DVB Daemon 0.2.3.
This release fixes a couple of issue with recent versions of pygobject-3.0. Therefore, pygobject 2.90.1 or later is required. Furthermore, it is now possible to add fake devices for development purposes.

Changes since 0.2.2
I recently finished my Master thesis and can now call myself Master of Science. The thesis itself couldn't turn out any better as it did. The goal was to implement a method that is capable to predict the relative location along the longitudinal axis of a slice of a X-ray computed tomography (CT) volume. The motivation behind this is to speed up the process when a physician wants to compare two CT volumes against each other. Usually, the patient's data can be accessed over the network and a single CT volume can contain more than thousand images taking more than 1 GB disk space. In addition, most physicians are only interested in one particular area they want to compare. Accordingly, it would be waste of resources if one has to transfer and load two complete volumes and manually navigate to the area of interest. The methods developed in this thesis allow the physician to select the area of interest (on the longitudinal axis) in one volume and only transfer and load the corresponding area in the other volume. Obviously, you get the biggest benefit if the volume contains a large amount of images and the region of interest is relatively small.
Last Wednesday marked the 3 year anniversary of GNOME DVB Daemon, all started with this commit. 1155 commits later, I am pleased to announce version 0.2.1. This release fixes a bug that localization in the GUI did not work correctly. In addition, DVB-T brute-force scan works correctly, again.
This release fixes small issues in the in daemon and GUI. It should be considered the stable version for GNOME3.
About
DVB Daemon is a daemon written in Vala and based on GStreamer to setup your DVB devices, record and watch TV shows and browse EPG. It can be controlled via its D-Bus interface or the UIs it comes with.
As promised, I am pleased to announce GNOME DVB Daemon 0.1.90. This is first release to achieve GNOME3-compatibility. I started the porting process back in January when I attended the Python Hackfest in Prague.
I decided to abandon Launchpad and move everything related to GNOME DVB Daemon over to the GNOME infrastructure. Therefore, the bug tracker is now located at Bugzilla, the source in GIT and translations in Damned Lies.
I am pleased to announce version 2.28.4 of the Python bindings for
GObject. This is a minor bugfix release of the stable 2.28 branch.
The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org:
I've spend last week in Prague attending the Python Hackfest as you might have heard by others.
This week I thought I gave the new shiny GObject-Introspection in Python a chance by porting the UI of GNOME DVB Daemon. First and foremost, I want to mention that I haven't got too far in the sense of porting the code to PyGI. Why am I writing this post then you may ask? Because it already took me some effort to get the proper build environment running correctly, and that's what this post is about. I'm running Ubuntu Maverick, so things might work slightly different on other distros.
Thanks to the awesome Klaus Staedler GNOME DVB Daemon finally has an icon and therefore two starters in the main menu. Version 0.1.17 is mostly a bug fix release (thanks to all the testers for reporting bugs). Most of the fixes are in the channel scanner. Unfortunately, if you want get the best experience you have to use gst-plugins-bad from git as well, because it contains some fixes. Following the recent trend to deprecate HAL, gudev is now used to detect connected devices.
