v11
Thanks again to bug reporters, debuggers and translators v11 is now available for download and contains the following features and fixes:
-
Support for Contacts via Folks
Folks collects and aggregates contacts in Gnome Online Accounts (including Google), Evolution Data Server and other supported backends, asynchronously. This means a faster startup time for the SMS Application, more contacts (possibly) and automatic duplicate merging (non-destructive). Support requires the Folks GIR (eg. gir1.2-folks-0.6).
Thanks to @hugosenari for his Python code and donating his time helping, @cwmke for working the bugs to death, and @Queuecumber for catching the v9 release mistake so quickly.
Note: This is a difficult feature to test for accounts I don't have; please report any problems you have or accounts that don't seem to be supported.
-
Support for Two-Way SMS Conversations
Two-Way conversations are now simulated by parsing incoming SMS notifications and comparing them with outgoing names and numbers in the Contact Entry of an open SMS window. There is currently no way to prevent the existing notifications from being shown or support for automatically opening an SMS window when a message is received. You must have both the Telephony integration and Receive notifications plugins enabled for this feature to work.
Note: This is a new feature that may contain some bugs or omissions; please report them. However, this should not interfere with contact auto-completion or sending of SMS messages.
