gnokii 0.6.30 by Pawel Kot on 2011-01-23
|
After 9 months the next gnokii release is out. Among other fixes and enhancements it is worth noticing the new phonet driver. This driver supports Linux kernel phonet (introduced in 2.6.28) and cdc_phonet (introduced in 2.6.30) modules. To use it place connection=phonet into the config file and you won't need to blacklist these modules anymore. Windows binary packages to come shortly.
gnokii 0.6.29 by Pawel Kot on 2010-04-23
|
New gnokii version is now available. It brings major bugfixes in the encoding engine (especially for SMS and concatenated SMS) and in Nokia Series40 support. There are still some problems remaining which will be addressed in the next release.
This version also changes the default location of the config file to be compatible with freedesktop.org standards. Now gnokii will try to read the config from $HOME/.config/gnokii/config. If you have $HOME/.gnokiirc it will be still valid but with lower priority.
This version may not compile with Windows. If you can help up with that it is appreciated.
Upgrade is highly recommended.
Switch: CVS to GIT by Pawel Kot on 2009-06-30
|
gnokii sources are now available in git repository. See the details on our git page.
gnokii 0.6.16 by Pawel Kot on 2007-05-11
|
gnokii 0.6.16 fixes compilation problems on Solaris (and probably other non-Linux unices) and Windows.
gnokii 0.6.15 by Pawel Kot on 2007-05-07
|
gnokii 0.6.15 is finally out. Highlights of the release contain support of new Nokia phones extended fields (unfortunately writing
them back does not work yet), fixes of some nasty segfaults, fixes of the SMS encoding for the Chinese locale, better Samsung support for the AT driver. Please download and give it a try!
gnokii 0.6.14 by Pawel Kot on 2006-08-29
|
New gnokii version is out. Main features of this release are: --config and --phone options for gnokii allowing to choose config file and phone section and WAP Push support. Also there are many bugfixes and improvements. See ChangeLog for the details.
gnokii 0.6.13 by Pawel Kot on 2006-06-18
|
gnokii 0.6.13 is a brand new gnokii version. It contains many bugfixes and enhancements. The highlights are new libusb driver for DKU2 cables (no need to compile a kernel driver) and improvements in libgnokii API (it should be much more convinient for third party apps developers right now).
gnokii 0.6.12 by Pawel Kot on 2006-03-11
|
gnokii 0.6.12 fixes the problem with xgnokii segfault on startup when gnokii-artwork is not installed.
New version of GSMI and GSMD-Gnokii by Pawel Kot on 2006-03-05
|
Konstantinos Agouros announced new version of GSMI and GSMD-Gnokii Perl modules. This is the version of the module supporting 0.6.x gnokii series. Users are encouraged to test it and report problems to Konstantinos and gnokii-users mailing list.
gnokii 0.6.11 by Pawel Kot on 2006-02-16
|
Next gnokii release is out. It was quite long time of development so many changes were done. Highlights of this release contain updates to calendar support (additional fields like end time are handled), virtual IrCOMM driver support, various updates to gnokii, misc fixes to nk6510 and at drivers. We removed hardcoded list of the irda phone names to be detected. Now gnokii should autodetect the phone, if not you can specify the name in the config file.
gnokii 0.6.9 by Pawel Kot on 2005-10-20
|
After quite a long while there's a new gnokii release out. Main reason for releasing this version is support for file operations for Nokia 6610i and family and fixes to DKU-2 driver. The next release with numerous bugfixes should come very soon.
Wiki site estabilished by Pawel Kot on 2005-07-07
|
Gnokii wiki site has been estabilished. You are very welcome to contribute to the site. Currently there's no content there, just the rough guidelines, what I'd like to see there.
Website updates by Pawel Kot on 2005-05-26
|
The website is slightly refreshed. And by the way: new gnokii version is 0.6.7.
gnokii 0.6.5 by Pawel Kot on 2005-04-29
|
Brand new gnokii 0.6.5 is out. It contains really many
improvements since the previous one. Among them you will notice the
filesystem options, DKU2 cable support with the kernel driver, better
phonebook and calendar output, possibility to disable the retransmission
policy, enhancements to the gnapplet driver. See our download page for the source locations.
Note that this version still has problem with FBUS connection over IrDA
on Linux with some phones. These were identified as Nokia Series 40 v1. See
more details at http://www.mobile-review.com/forum2/showthread.php?t=10266.
Note also that gnokii changed the default behaviour with regard to the
retransmission policy. It is disabled by default. If gnokii timeouts
frequently consider enabling it. Do it by setting sm_retry = 1 in the
config file in the [global] section.
gnokiifs by Pawel Kot on 2005-01-05
|
Happy New Year :-). As a gift Ed Rosten prepared
gnokiifs, a Linux filesystem based on Coda and gnokii allowing to access the
phone storage (where possible) as an usual Linux filesystem (Linux 2.6 is
supported). The supported operations are file browsing, creation, deletion,
reading and writing. The tested phone is just 7600 so far. You can grab the
sources from Ed's page, but
you can expect them in gnokii CVS and FTP.
gnokii 0.6.3 by Pawel Kot on 2004-07-05
|
gnokii 0.6.3 fixes some problems with compilation on
MSVC.
gnokii 0.6.2 by Pawel Kot on 2004-07-03
|
gnokii 0.6.2 is released containing many bugfixes. This
release should build cleanly on Linux, Windows (cygwin and MSVC), FreeBSD
and OpenBSD operating system. Probably it will build also on Solaris and Mac
OS X. This version introduces IrDA support for win32 environment. Since the
previous version (0.6.1) gnokii provides connectivity with Symbian based
phones via gnapplet driver and gnapplet Symbian application. Sources for
gnapplet are available from the same localization as gnokii.
gnocky by Pawel Kot on 2004-03-16
|
Igor Popik released first public version of gnocky, gtk2-based gnokii
frontend. Still in beta version but already nice looking and user friendly,
supports phonebook, sms and logos handling. There are also basic phone and
network informations available. You can see some screenshots.

|

IrDA connection problems - update by Pawel Kot on 2004-01-20
|
DON'T USE GNOKII < 0.5.9
WITH NOKIA 6100, model = 6100 AND connection = irda SETTINGS.
THIS CONFIGURATION IS KNOWN TO BREAK THE PHONE. The latest gnokii
release, 0.5.9, disables support for this model. You can still use model
= AT setting. Many more improvements were made with this release.
IrDA connection problems by Pawel Kot on 2004-01-10
|
gnokii seems to have serious problems with Nokia 6100.
Please don't use gnokii with this phone currently as it may break your
phone. If we won't have fix till next gnokii version, gnokii will refuse
working with this model set in the config. We are very sorry because of this
situation.
gnokii 0.5.7 by Pawel Kot on 2003-12-15
|
gnokii 0.5.7 is released. Main feature is Bluetooth
support for MacOS X and FreeBSD platforms. You will find also many bugfixes
and updates and some new features in there. Check out the ChangeLog

savannah compromised by Pawel Kot on 2003-12-10
|
Due to savannah
servers being compromise, gnokii development is a bit stopped, but you can
expect 0.5.7 release as soon as savannah services are again functional.
gnokii 0.5.6 by Pawel Kot on 2003-12-09
|
Current gnokii release is 0.5.6. Hopefully information about new updates

oplogos collection by Pawel Kot on 2002-09-09
|
Vidar Madsen created and collected a few nice operator logos that may be
saved to your Nokia phone with gnokii. You can also find there gnokii-specific
logos. Vidar is also the author of the ppm2nokia script that is
currently included in gnokii sources.

gnokii 0.4.2a by Pawel Kot on 2002-07-23
|
gnokii 0.4.2a fixed the type in the Makefile that causes error on the make
run. It is harmless, but if you are scared with this error and can't fix it
on your own -- upgrade.

build fixes.
Vulnerability in mgnokiidev by Pawel Kot on 2002-02-14
|
A security bug was found in gnokii. If you are using gnokiid/mgnokiidev in a
multiuser environment you are strongly recommended to upgrade to at least
0.3.4 or 0.4.0pre13
Vunerability description
Mgnokiidev is an util application that grants write
permission to a pseudoterminal device for the gnokii group and creates
/dev/gnokii symlink to that device. To be able to do it mgnokiidev should
be installed suidroot. Mgnokiidev received one and only one argument: the
device name. As mgnokiidev did not check what the target file is, anyone,
who could run mgnokiidev (in the default install -- anyone from the gnokii
group), could gain a write access to any file in the filesystem (including
/etc/shadow, /dev/hda, /dev/kmem, etc). To prevent such situation we
decided to rewrite mgnokiidev. In the former solution mgnokiidev knew only
the device name that it should operate on -- the name was determined by some
other application. Now mgnokiidev does more: it opens the pseudoterminal
and gets its name on its own. Then it sets the right permissions to the
device and creates /dev/gnokii symlink to it. Note, that now it's
impossible to set permissions to an arbitrary file. Finally, mgnokiidev
writes through an unix socket the file (pseudoterminal device) descriptor to
the caller application.
