- Improved behavior in the networking backend. The wired/wireless wnettools instances now refer to each other, and get passed on to connection threads as well, which simplifies passing settings for external program usage. Also removed some unecessary creating of duplicate wnettools instances which ended up causing some issues.
- Fixed bug where dhclient was being used as the dhcp client even if it was selected in the options menu.
- Fixed a typo in the connection commands used for ralink cards.
- Fixed the wrong cli option for releasing a dhcpcd lease.
- Monitor.py no longer calls for an auto-rescan if the daemon is currently connecting to a network.
- Cleaned up some comments and simplified the logic in a few methods/functions.
- Added support for using kdesu instead of gksu where it makes sense.
- Improved code used to sanitize network keys used with wpa_passphrase.
- Removed some unused functions and imports.
- Cleaned up some comments/docstrings.
Experimental:
- Split gui.py into gui.py and netentry.py. netentry is imported by gui.py to make use of NetworkEntry and its subclasses.
- Reorganzed how dbus and the language dict are used in wicd.py and gui.py.
- Move process renaming code to the misc module, and fix process ranming for 64 bit systems. (Thanks to Helber Maciel)
- Move the error gtk method to the gui module. (Thanks to Helber Maciel)
- Removed a debugging print statement from monitor.py
- Fixed up a few docstrings/comments.
Testing:
- Fix bug where Connect button would become inactive after disconnecting from a network.
- Fixed bug where monitor would crash on resume because dbus wasn't ready yet.
- Monitor now calls a rescan every 2 minutes.
Experimental:
- Added a network list submenu to the right-click menu of the tray icon.
Added a "Disconnect" button to each network entry, which will be visible instead of the "Connect" button for the active network.
Fixed a bug where cancelling a connection while validating authentication would leave the GUI in the connecting state forever.
Updated dbus config file to work under more distros
Added support for determing wireless interface by parsing /proc/net/wireless (removing need for iwconfig call)
A few minor formatting improvements.
Updated setup.py to pick which initscript to install based on the distro detected.
Updated MANIFEST.in to make sure launchdaemon.sh is included in the sdist build.
Fixed a bunch of crash bugs in tool detection system when tools are detected.
Made tool detection work correctly when "which" returns output if no match is found (as opposed to no output). Eventually we might want to hardcode possible paths instead of using which at all...
Fixed some message formatting in the daemon.
Added some docstrings.
Added a pidfile system for increased initscript compatibility (sort of, it's somewhat incomplete).
Improved debug mode behavior.
Improved the way networking.py interfaces passes attributes on to wnettools.py interfaces.
Fixed crash in __printReturn when a parameter to return wasn't of type 'str'.
Removed some unnecessary print statements.
Added checks to the daemon and configscript.py to make sure the user opening it is root.
Fixed formatting problems in class definitions in wicd.py
Added docstrings to wnettools.py
Fixed wired autoconnect bug due to missing parenthesis on a method call.
Moved connection monitoring code out of daemon.py and into monitor.py, which is run as a separate, child process of daemon.py, to reduce delays in dbus reponse time while connection status and autoreconnect code is running.
Added full support for running the gui without the tray icon using the --no-tray option.
Some minor changes to code to be more readable/efficient/pythonic.
