The hits keep on comin’!

Version 3.0 of the Amahi platform was released today after a lot of work and testing from the community.

Particular thanks for this release go to rampage and gjc1000 for patiently testing in their systems!

Included are more than a dozen improvements, among them

  • bringing the old-style native Amahi web apps to the one-click installer,
  • further improvements to the one-click installer and
  • dashboard improvement to display an unlimited set of apps, now in two columns when there are too many applications, shown below (as some of you have noticed already).

new-dashboard

Now, each app can have one database of its own, and a package per app (RPM only, no DEBs yet), which are managed automatically. Other fixes include eliminating a timed-out page if the app gallery is not reachable (e.g. if there is no networking).

Recipes, seen in a small screenshot above, and Weightwatcher are two of the native apps released!

For details check out the commit details, included below after the break for your reading pleasure.

closes #109: setup/apps tab breaks if amahi.org is down or otherwise unavailable

minor fix to old myapps installer (in case anyone ever needs it)

major cleanup and port all old syle applications (amahitunes, slideshow, pba, recipes, weightwatcher) to the new style of online, one-click apps. make new installer script for old apps and invoke it.

show apps in the dashboard, even if they are not webapps.

support of per-application DB - automatic add/drop of per-app databases!

support of per-application RPM - separate from RPM dependencies (should not say RPMs, rather packages, thought the field is called RPMs)

proper reporting of SHA1 if SHA1 verification failed.

per request from rampage537 (or some other rampageXYZ :) ), launch links in new window from the dashboard and installed pages

new smaller dashboard! go into two-colum mode if more than 6 apps available, showing unlimited apps, with smaller icons. we have too many apps to show in the dashboard! (hehe)

fix typo with description when no description was not provided for an app (!)

improved message when no webapps are present
