Decibel 0.5.0 and Telepathy-snom 0.4.0 released
Today I managed to get new releases of Decibel out of the door. Pieces are really starting to fall together: This release is the first one to support a real application! KCall will be released soon, using Decibel 0.5.0 to setup incoming and outgoing calls.
There were very few changes at the Decibel daemon itself. Most work this time happened in the addons directory of the development tree which houses - you guessed it - addons (which tend to be KDE-specific;-). I wrote a logging daemon as an addon which is used by KCall to retrieve a call history (reporting time and duration of the conversation, etc.). It is really fun to add that kind of additional functionality on top of the existing framework!
Our KCall tests were done using our telepathy-snom connection manager. For those of you who have not been following my blog (shame on you;-) that is a piece of telepathy-spec compliant code used to ‘remote control’ a VoIP phone build by snom. This code was made a bit more telepathy (or better: the oral traditions surrounding the spec itself;-) compliant. I added support for sending DTMF tones while I am at it.
