| What is gmodconfig? |
|
gmodconfig is a Gnome
application which allows Linux users to:
- configure kernel modules' parameters, in their native language (if
such translations exist),
- check for new versions of kernel modules, as well as download, build
and install those
- access kernel modules informations (license, authors, link to website)
It's mainly aimed at inexperienced Linux users, however even
long time Linux users might find it useful!

| 16-Feb-2004: gmodconfig-data 0.2 is released |
|
This release provides new XML files for webcam modules and a translation of
those modules' parameters in French. It also has an XML file for the nvidia
module.
It can be downloaded from
Sourceforge.
|
| 13-Jan-2004: Japanese translation available in CVS |
|
Thanks to Takeshi AIHANA from the Japan GNOME users group for translating the gmodconfig messages into Japanese.
I also fixed parts of the code that prevented certain i18n messages to be displayed.
|
| 18-Dec-2003: version 0.6 is out |
|
Check out the Download and
Status pages for details.
This release was tested with GNOME 2.5.1
|
| 28-Nov-2003: turning gmodconfig into a Bonobo control |
|
This will make gmodconfig's reusable and embeddable into
other applications. The code changes are in
CVS. After some
more testing is completed, a new release will be made.
See the new Embedding page for more details.
|
| 24-Oct-2003: version 0.5 is out |
|
Check out the Download and
Status pages for details.
The kernel modules metadata (XML files) are now released separately
in their own package (gmodconfig-data).
|
| 04-Oct-2003: recent CVS changes |
|
The Parameters tab was improved with the addition of parameter groups
and tooltips that show the actual parameter names (check out how it
looks like with the ov511 module). The Install manager now supports both
DKMS-enabled RPMs
and tarballs.
If you know the RPM 4.1 API, could you
please review my code? I'd appreciate feedback.
|
| 03-Aug-2003: version 0.4 is out |
|
Check out the Download and
Status pages for details.
|
| 18-Jul-2003: recent CVS changes |
|
A bunch of changes have been checked in into CVS since June:
bugfixes for missing parameter types, the new "default" attribute
for module parameters, some minor GUI improvements, a DocBook based
documentation, and the XML parsing is now done with libxml2 directly
instead of libxml++. Work on the module downloader/installer is underway.
|
| 07-Jun-2003: search feature in CVS |
|
I've added a search feature to the GUI to allow quick access to modules.
Try it out!
|
| 22-Apr-2003: version 0.3 is out |
|
Version 0.3 is there, head towards the
Download and
Status pages for details.
Going forward the focus will be to polish the user-interface, complete
the user documentation, hook up the online help to the "Help" buttons in
the GUI, etc...
The user interface has been translated to French and Portuguese so far.
Help on translating into more languages is appreciated! See the
Translations page for details
on how to help.

| 02-Mar-2003: XSA assistant in CVS |

I've checked in my first shot at an
XSA assistant druid
in CVS. It does not generate any XSA files yet though :-)
If you look at it, please share your thoughts and comments on
gmodconfig-devel, thanks!
