New version for firmware 1.1.4

Montag, August 11th, 2008

This is for all users of firmware 1.1.4 and below:

I’ve just compile and uploaded the latest and last version of Wiki2Touch. I created a new installer source because I don’t know in which package Wiki2Touch is currently listed.

In order to install this version it’s a good idea to first remove the old one. But keep your data files. You will be asked this during uninstall.

Then add source url “i.wiki2touch.com” to your installer as shown here:

New installer source

After the source was added you have a new category called “Wiki” and inside you will find Wiki2Touch 0.71.

This version, the number is 0.71, includes

  • Support for “math”
  • The last search phrase is save
  • Some minor bug fixes

As I’ve already said, this will be the last version for 1.1.4. I will add a short description how math is working. But don’t expect getting it out-of-the-box. You need the data like you need it for images. Basically an MD5 checksum is calculated form the contents of the math-tags and that is the filename for an image. Norbert has helped a lot here and maybe he provides some “math”-packages.

Right now I’m going to fixi and prepare the version for jailbroken 2.0.x devices.

Wiki2Touch and Firmware 2.0.0/2.0.1

Sonntag, August 10th, 2008

Maybe you already know but the current version is running only until firmware 1.1.4. Beside that the new Installer 4.0 didn’t recognizes the old installer configuration files so you can not install it on newer 2.0 devices. Or at least the installer didn’t allows you to install the 1.1.4 apps.

Yesterday I’ve updated my iPhone to 2.0.1 and installed a new developer toolchain on my Mac. I’ve made some changes to the sources because the new toolchain is using gcc 4.2 and complains sometimes. This is gone now and I have a working version for 2.0, but with some flaws.

Here is a little roadmap about what I planing to do:

  • A version 0.71 if Wiki2Touch for firmware 1.1.4 and below is compiled and once I’ve created and checked the installer I will release this. The “math” support is added, the OSD, some other stuff along with some minor bugfixes.It looks like that this will be the last version for firmware 1.1.4 and below.
  • I have to iron out a few issues when running under firmware 2.0.x, the automatic detection of installed languages isn’t working right now. Once I’ve fixed that I will release this version, too. I’m still unclear if I should support Installer, Cydia or none of them (manual installation).
  • Once we all have Wiki2Touch back on jailbroken 2.0 devices I will switch to using the AppStore in the future. Today I think this is the future.
