#phosh 0.3.1 is out: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/tags/v0.3.1
media-player widget, more haptic feedback, bug fixes, connectivity state indicator, development documentation usable via #devhelp, more i18n. Thanks everyone who contributed to this release!
Our car radio does not do #bluetooth so after fixing up headphone detection in device tree and finishing #phosh's mpris MediaPlayer2 interface i can now feed sound via a 3.5mm audio cable from my l5 to the car radio via #mpd and #mpDris2 . Will show up on a #librem5 near you soon.
Notifications have landed in #calls 0.1.6: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/calls/-/releases/v0.1.6
and it has more gems.
i found the fix for the etnaviv discard problem myself, so the bounty is over. solution: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3090#note_526727

Balance top up of my prepaid sim card using #ppm (https://honk.sigxcpu.org/piki/projects/ppm/) on my laptop. Can happen on the #Librem5 once we have https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/merge_requests/270 downstream.
🎉️ libhandy 0.80.0 is out!
https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/libhandy/tags/v0.80.0
This 1st alpha to the upcoming libhandy 1 offers free-form windows, swipeable decks, a cleaner and simpler API, vastly improved styling, and more!
See the migration documentation: https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/libhandy/unstable/hdy-migrating-0-0-to-1.html
As an alpha, it is not suitable for distribution, use it if you want to start porting your app to libhandy 1, but be aware its API and ABI *will* change before the 1st beta release.
#phosh 0.3.0 is out: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/tags/v0.3.0
Notifications can be persistent now thanks to zbrown, screen blanking/locking and haptic feedback are improved as is #i18n.
Since i got this question recently: how can i help advancing #phosh and related projects *financially* (without buying a #librem5 right away)? Simplest is to get a paid librem.one subscription (https://librem.one/) atm.
#debian's #gitlab-runner package (https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/gitlab-runner) is just awesome. It builds it's own (matching) management container and can use Debian's packaged docker. No fiddling with 3rd party repos. Setup in 1 minute. 🚀
To the best of our knowledge, the #Librem5 is the only smartphone around with a OpenPGP smart card reader. In this post I talk about why that's such a big deal: https://puri.sm/posts/your-own-personal-enclave-the-smart-card-reader-on-the-librem-5/
