Announcing the update of DialCentral (formerly GC Dialer) to 0.9.9.

0.9.9
* SMS From Dialpad
* Display of names for messages tab
* Condensed messages/recent's date column

0.9.8
* Added columns to Recent/Messages for seeing the when and who
* Improvements to staying logged in (I hope)
* Random bug fixes (Hopefully GC fixes)

0.9.7
* Switched to Force Refresh for when wanting to check for more messages
* Removed timeouts that forced refreshes on various tabs
* Added support for a settings file, fairly primitive right now
* Fixed Maemo Support
* Lots of major and minor bug fixes

0.9.6
* Experimenting with the tabs being on the side
* Now the phone selector is used always, even if there is just one phone number
* Added a Messages Tab, which displays SMS and Voicemail messages
* Added option to send SMS messages

0.9.5 Changes
* Fixed a bug with regards to Google changing their webpages

0.9.4 Changes
* Misc Bug fixes and experiments

0.9.3 Changes
* Removed the much disliked contact source ID
* Added saving of callback number when using GoogleVoice (Works on desktop, seems to have issues on tablet, still investigating)
* Got proper formatting on things ("&" rather than "&")
* Misc Bug fixes

0.9.2 Changes
* UI Support for choosing between GoogleVoice and GrandCentral
* Minor tweaks and bug fixes

0.9.1 Changes
* More flexible CSV support (uses column headers), which now works with GrandCentral and Google Contact exports
* Experimenting with faster startup by caching PYC files with the package
* Fixing of some bad error handling
* More debug output for when people run into issues
* GoogleVoice Support (not enabled by default)

0.9.0 Changes
* Caching of contacts
* Refactoring to make working with the code easier
* Filesystem backed contacts but currently only supporting a specific csv format
* Gracefully handle lack of connection and connection transitions
* Gracefully handle failed login
* A tiny bit better error reporting

Requirements:
* PyGTK Support (Tested on Maemo and Ubuntu)

Please report any problems or feature requests. I'd like to drive to have an eventual 1.0 but would like feedback into doing that. If you can please include in any issues reported the output when launching by running "python2.5 /usr/bin/dialcentral.py" it will greatly help in resolving your issue.

Note on CSV Support: The CSVs must be placed in "~/.dialcentral/contacts". A seperate listing in the contact list drop down is made per file. As for the file format, the first line is treated as column headers. The file should have the headers "name" and either "phone" or "mobile". This is known to work with Google Contact exports and GrandCentral exports. If this doesn't cover some weird case of what your program exports, please send me the first line of your CSV file so I can try and add support for it.
