This one has a new menu on power button long press, initial emergency calls support (thanks @CoderThomasB, @devrtz), improvements on the compositor side, new completers in phosh-osk-stub, configurable ring tones and more.

Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.27.0/

@calebccff I'm aware that this doesn't help right now but maybe for the future: https://www.dreamsourcelab.com/product/dslogic-series/ has free software tooling.

@danialbehzadi @zachdecook ...well it's not all merged yet 😃

@zachdecook @dperson squeekboard doesn't like to be replaced (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/squeekboard/-/issues/361) . phosh-osk-stub can replace itself though (that's what I'm usually using). If you don't want to use the debian package and `update-alternatives` you can add phosh-osk-stub to /usr/bin/osk-wayland .

@dperson @zachdecook The completer itself will likely make it into #phosh-osk-stub 0.26.0 but the plumbing (disable completion, swiping over characters) needs a bit more time so that won't be in any repos too soon.
Building a Debian package from the Merge request is simple though (as it contains the packaging data). You also need to build and configure swipeGuess.

@baliceauxPelican @zachdecook The possibility for doing that has been available since some time, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/34 (using uim) or
https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/tree/wip/libvarnam (using varnam) - for other completers. Looking forward to someone looking into fcitx or ibus.

@zachdecook What a coincidence 🚀 I have to admit that this was the first time I used swipe input (my previous phone had a hardware keyboard)

@dubstar_04 @zachdecook Swiping the spacebar to position the cursor in unaffected by this as the OSK switches to a different "mode" for that.

- @zachdecook's swipeGuess: https://git.sr.ht/~earboxer/swipeGuess
- phosh-osk-stub's pipe completer: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/76
- you also need https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/77 to avoid having to lift your finger

Ever since doing the initial completion support in #phosh 's osk-stub I wanted to add a generic "unix pipe" like completer. phosh-osk-stub would feed the program preedit on stdin and read the completions from the program's stdout.

That is there now and with that and some more changes I can use @zachdecook 's #swipeGuess to do swipe like typing. To be clear: all the hard work is done by swipeGuess, phosh-osk-stub just piggy backs on it:

@JustineSmithies@fosstodon.org #Librem5 with PureOS and #Phosh.see e.g. https://wiki.sigxcpu.org/con/On_a_road_to_Prizren_with_a_Free_Software_Phone.html

@kyle A great read. Thanks!

@kyle 🎉 Congratulations to getting this out!

Is there a "sample chapter" for people to peek at? So one can get a feel about the text to example ratio, typeface, how distro agnostic it is, etc.

@ibrahim @purism @tbernard Thanks for the kind words.

@twiclo mpv has way, way more features and I use it a lot on the desktop.

µPlayer doesn't even try to compete but rather to be mobile and touch friendly.

Playback speed was on the list of things to add so I added that (https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/livi/-/merge_requests/3, needs some styling) and I tripped on a phoc bug in fullscreen and fixed that as well.
