gnome-pilot-2.0.14pre6 released

[Matt Davey <mcdavey mrao cam ac uk>]

Congratulations to the pilot-link team for the enormous work that has
gone in to the release of pilot-link 0.12.0.  It's great to see this
release out the door.

Now that pilot-link 0.12.0 is released, I've updated the gnome-pilot
2.0.14 pre-release series, with gnome-pilot-2.0.14pre6.

There are only minor changes since pre5:
  o  When built against pilot-link 0.12.0, there is a new 'usb:' device
     option, to enable the use of pilot-link's libusb syncing.  Note
     that gnome-pilot doesn't check that your version of pilot-link
     has got --enable-libusb compiled in, nor that you've got the visor
     module blacklisted, etc. etc.  See David Desrosiers excellent howto
     for libusb syncing.  Once you've got libusb working for pilot-xfer
     you should be able to select 'usb:' as your device name in
     gnome-pilot and be in business.
   o Fixed the applet message area, which had been broken for a while.
   o Very minor other changes, related to internationalisation of a few
     strings.

The pre-release can be downloaded from:
http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/mcdavey/downloads

... and check the known issues on that page.

With the release of pilot-link 0.12.0, it should now be possible for
people with international charsets to set the PILOT_CHARSET variable to
get gnome-pilot to translate your international characters correctly
(note: the Evolution conduits have not been ported yet... see the 'known
issues').

I consider pre6 a release candidate, so please raise a bugzilla item on
bugzilla.gnome.org, or post to gnome-pilot-list if you find issues.

Regards,

Matt
