    Kobby Beta 5

    Monday, April 5. 2010


    A new beta release for Kobby has just been tagged and uploaded. This beta version works with libinfinity 0.4, and has several bug fixes and UI improvements.

    Probably the most notable change (aside from using the newer libinfinity version) is the use of DockWidgets for the surrounding toolboxes, allowing a more customizable UI.  Theres also a couple bugfixes relating to text insertion / removal which I think has now reached a 'stable' state.


    If all goes according to plan, in the next several weeks support for document uploading will be added and then the RC phase can begin (yay!).


    Enjoy!

    Kobby Beta 4

    Sunday, December 6. 2009

    The fourth (and hopefully final) beta release for Kobby and Libqinfinity is now available on http://kobby.greghaynes.net.  This release fixes one major bug affecting editor synchronization, and has some much wanted UI improvements.


    Probably my favourite new feature is the setup assistant:



    Although this assistant was probably one of the most trivial additions (thanks to the API awesomeness in kdelibs) it works wonders for getting users setup properly.


    Along with the new features, Kobby has moved off of github and on to http://gitorious.org/kobby and http://bugs.kde.org, so update your bookmarks.

    Kollaborative Editing in (K)Ubuntu

    Tuesday, November 24. 2009

    In the (somewhat) recent release of Karmic (Ubuntu 9.10), Kobby Beta 3 is available to all users via apt (Horray!).  For those who do not know about Kobby, it is a collaborative editor built using libinfinity, allowing it to be protocol compatible with the GTK based Gobby editor.


    For those who do know about Kobby you may have noticed the lack of development progress in the past couple months.  This is a result of my college workload being above normal for the past semester.  With the end of year approaching and a new semester I would really like to try and give collaborative editing the push into the public spotlight I think it needs.  A 1.0 release of the editor would help this greatly, but before this can happen the project is in need of some brave crash-testers.  Beta releases of Koby have been available for several months, but little more than a handful of bugs have been found since then.  This means there must be a whole lot of bugs still waiting to be found so please - break Kobby and tell us how you did it!  Hopefully KDE land can fill the bug queue enough to keep me busy over the new year holidays coming up.


    If you're looking to get up and running quickly, I have created a public server you can use at infinote.greghaynes.net.

    Kobby Beta 3

    Tuesday, June 2. 2009


    The third and final beta for Kobby is now available for download, along with libqinfinity.  This version got a major facelift (as shown in the screenshot) which will hopefully make it much more attractive to first time users.  There were also several build system related bugs which popped up after the previous beta that have now been squashed.  Also, joining a document with an already used username (which i'm sure is common among testers) doesn't cause the end of the world.

    Kobby is definately in need of some usability improvements before the 1.0 release, so if there are any suggestions (as always) don't hesitate to let them be known (kobby@groups.google.com).


     Enjoy!

    Kobby Beta 2

    Monday, May 4. 2009


    Version 1.0 Beta 2 of Kobby and Libqinfinity are now available.  This beta features several build system fixes, among other things, which I hope will encourage more people to test the application.  Please don't hesitate to voice your opinion on the mailing list or by filing a bug report.


    Kobby 1.0 Beta 2


    Aside from build system fixes, this beta uses the recently released Libinfinity 0.3 and is more stable than the previous release.


     Enjoy!


     P.S: I was also able to get the editor functioning in OS X (portability rocks!), but I'll save that for a later post.
