As a follow-up in spirit of reversing the USB a blood pressure monitor See Github project I was part of a project to revive a GPS receiver from the late 2000s. This is still work in process since it is still not possible to decode the actual GPS data, but we are getting there. The code and documentation is also available at github and we’ve done a talk about the project at Easterhegg 21, which is on media.

Hello everyone, as “teased” over on discourse, April 22nd saw the release of Shotwell’s new stable version, 0.32.0. New features include: More image formats: AVIF, CR3, HEIF/HVEC, JPEG XL & WebP Some initial geographical data handling (The map display will likely return in 33) Multiple libraries and settings that are isolated from each other Support of more than one account for publishing services Manual tagging of persons Automatic detection and recognition of persons can be enabled during compile time HiDPI support for the image viewer Simpler handling of hierarchical tags The new version should pop up on flathub soon, and if you were subscribing to the GNOME nightly version, I would also recommend to switch to the flathub version, the GNOME nightly version will start to become quite unstable soonish.

Happy to announce that dLeyna has moved to its new home, GNOME World: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/dLeyna The four previously separated repositories core, connector-dbus, renderer and server have been combined into this single repository. I was amongst those who promoted for the split, but since then the conditions have changed and it is far easier to maintain in an all-in-one repository now. Most files should have kept history. The upcoming dLeyna 0.8 will be the first unified release.
