A day and a few hours later and I’m already releasing 0.1.1. Highlights are the following:
- Fix a major bug where the CPU gets maxed out during download of a contact’s library
- Prevent ‘Too many open files’ exception during streaming
- Logging more messages related to streaming
- Fix ‘make distcheck’ (Fix courtesy of Bertrand Lorentz)
- README updated to reflect a necessary requirement of telepathy-mission-control5 >= 5.3.1
- A few other minor fixes
So, if you’re looking to try this out, I suggest you download this version.
Testing performed yesterday afternoon and evening confirm that transfer speeds over tubes are highly volatile. Sometimes, it can take up to a few minutes just to offer and accept a tube. And, other times it seems instant. But, more often than not, it’s sluggish. If you’re using computers on the same network, however, the speeds should be really quick.
Also worth mentioning, Sandy Armstrong put together some packages to help users of openSUSE 11.2 get the dependencies installed.
