wApua 0.06.4 released //at 02:55 //by abe
I today released version 0.06.4 of my WAP WML browser wApua and also uploaded that release to Debian Unstable.
It’s a bugfix release and the first upstream release since 2017.
It fixes the recognition of WAP WML pages with more recent DTD
location URLs ending in .dtd instead of .xml
(and some other small difference). No idea when these URLs changed,
but I assume they have been changed to look more like the URLs of
other DTDs. The old URLs of the DTD still work, but more recent WAP
pages (yes, they do exist :-) seem to use the new DTD URLs, so there
was a need to recognise them instead of throwing an annoying warning.
Thanks to Lian Begett for the bug report!

wApua now in Debian Unstable //at 00:38 //by abe
Hey, the actual version 0.06 of my Perl written WAP browser wApua now is in Debian Sid!
It’s the first software written by me which has entered the Debian repository as its own package (since pum is included in the package pisg which is in testing now for a while) as well as the first software debianized by me which reached Debian Unstable.
Things are always exciting when they happen the first time. ;-)
Thanks to Myon for sponsoring the package.

wApua 0.06 released //at 03:33 //by abe
I today released version 0.06 of my WAP browser wApua (Release announcement at Freshmeat).
The one big new thing is user friendly documentation: wApua and wbmp2xbm (which has been renamed from wbmp2xbm.pl) now have POD documentation and therefore also man pages. Besides that a lot of minor bugfixes and enhancements complete the new version.
The other big new thing is that there now is a Debian package of wApua. The package should work fine on Debian Woody (3.0), Sarge (3.1) and Etch (upcoming 4.0) and probably also works on other Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu.
Thanks to sponsoring by Christoph “Myon” Berg the Debian package is also in
the Debian
New Queue and hopefully will be included in Debian Etch.

wApua 0.05.1 released //at 03:26 //by abe
After more than five years without new release, there is now a new version of Perl written WAP browser wApua: 0.05.1. (Release announcement at Freshmeat)
It mainly fixes the use with newer Tk version as shipped with recent Ubuntu and Gentoo releases (Sarge still works fine with 0.05, but Etch won’t). It also fixes the local installation documentation.
Thanks to all who reported these bugs.
