Hey Sven and list, getting MobileOrg into the Android market is part of the
last push to releasing the first Beta version.

There are two last things that I'm doing to achieve beta status:

1) Implement the Dropbox and SDCard synchronizers
2) Support changing TODO states and editing existing notes.

I have had a lot of people contributing patches, most notably is Adam Marek
(amarek) who has really cleaned up my Synchronizer and File Parsing system.
 His work abstracting my synchronization system is what is going to allow us
to support syncing org files from a variety of different places.   He did
this as part of his work for implementing an SVN synchronizer (really cool,
can't wait for him to finish this).

One thing that Adam has finished that I have imported into the Market
version of MobileOrg is support for encrypted org files via Android Privacy
Guard (APG:  http://www.thialfihar.org/projects/apg/).   I haven't had a
chance to use this yet so if anyone wants to give it a whirl then let me
know how it goes.

Paul Bonser (pib) contributed a lot of really great bug fixes and cleanup
code, Jonathan Arkell contributed a new much nicer looking logo,  John Ogle
helped me out with some error reporting to the user (I was just throwing
exceptions everywhere), Torsten Wagner contributed the localization changes
(along with German translations).

This weekend I'm going to complete #2 and part of #1 that I listed above.
Regarding point #1 I will definitely have the SDCard synchronizer
finished... this will allow you to synchronize your org files directly from
your phone (if you are someone who wants to manually place the files on your
phone).   This should also allow those of you who use Dropbox to use the
Dropbox Android application to pull your org files to your phone and then
synchronize using the SDCard synchronizer.   This will be a good placeholder
until I can implement the Dropbox API directly (which will involve those
guys evaluating my application to make sure I'm using it correctly... and
I'm not sure how long that will take).

It's going to be a busy weekend for me wrapping up these changes.   I'm now
open to taking bug reports on the Github page (come one, come all) and new
feature requests (please use the "Feature" tag).  So you can expect 0.5beta
to be released on Monday or Tuesday.

One last thing to note, I'm having to drop support for Android 1.5, if this
is a problem for anyone then please drop me an email... one person has
already informed me that they can't find it in the market because of this so
I'm planning on building a development version for those of you running this
older version of the OS.

Normally I would post something this big right away but I wanted to make
sure everything was working fine (this is my first app on the market) before
taking the plunge.   So no worries, Sven, I'm glad you noticed so quickly :)

73,
