@gianko is everything else works ok besides the contacts?

i'll be releasing v0.0.9 (codename: Chico) in 3-4 days:
* Added 'backlight stay lit only when plugged' option
* Fixed the freeze that occured when data was transmitted, so no more 'Close application...' dialog.
* Fixed network data compression (i consider working 90% of the time better than 0%

)
* Fixed adding a favorite caused crash
* Fixed pinging a wazer caused crash

in addition, some fixes to the ubuntu release, but that is not relevant to this forum.

I don't know if it was reported:
If you try to search second time it crashes
Jumping to main menu from setting from time to time.
And btw downloading promt was stuck on 0%

the second search crash is a bug in the original waze code and apprears in the known issues since v0.0.1. I didnt want to fix it as it require changes to their code, but since i'll rewrite the UI in the next releases which changes a lot of the original code, i'll see if i can fix it for v0.0.9.

V0.0.9 is in the maemo-devel and appsformeego-testing repositories.
2 notes:
1) network data compression is hectic, and if waze will crash several times it will change it back to off
2) the screen freeze sometime and recover after 5 seconds

I will upload to the ubuntu ppa repositories either today or tomorrow (yes, there is also an ubuntu release :P)

Thanks, have downloaded V0.0.9 for N9 already. It seems the false 20% battery warning is gone.

O/T: Why not extras-testing for the N900 version?

@gainko v0.0.9 integrates the changes that were in the last modified deb I sent you, so viewing the contacts will still cause a crash, but the rest should work OK.

AFAIK, apps in devel should be voted to be passed to the maemo-testing and only then can be voted to maemo-extras:

If this article is hard to understand but you want to test software, please see Help testing software -article.

Besides, I don't think it will pass the QA since:
1) It still have a high footprint
2) In next versions I will rewrite the UI layer to overcome the performance issue, so maybe I will use QtComponents as part of it, which currently only exists in devel. In the next weeks I will create a mockup video of what I have in mind for the new UI to open a debate for improvements.

@everyone - I have found another bug in the network compression logic which might cause a crash at some network requests. Please don't use it yet.

The developer can promote from extras-devel to extras-testing when the application is ready for testing by users, voting is only required to go from extras-testing to extras. Users shouldn't be testing applications from extras-devel.

Pinging other wazers no longer results in a crash, but the received message is either "SAGE DIALOG" or blank.
