BloGTK Development Update

Since development on BloGTK 2.0 has restarted, there’s been a flurry of activity, which is pushing BloGTK towards a public beta release. There have been several fixes to the BloGTK backend, some new work on the interface, and some general tweaks along the way. For example, the current codebase now supports saving and opening posts to disk for offline editing. The new WebKit-powered preview system is working quite nicely, and was easy to implement.

However, there are some features that are likely to be left on the cutting-room floor (at least for the first release). For example, custom tags would be a nice feature, but isn’t something that is absolutely necessary for the first release. I would also like to have a much more refined offline blogging system in place. However, that will have to wait for a subsequent release,

It is likely that there will be a preliminary beta release in the near future. BloGTK 2.0 will be a quantum leap forward from the previous versions, with many new features and a much more convenient interface. Keep checking back here for more information leading up to the first public release of BloGTK 2.0.

    Sorry for being offtopic.

    I’m using a proxy to surf anonymously and wondered if I can use BloGTK? I haven’t found a way to specify the proxy IP/port within BloGTK. Have I misunderstood the concept of this type of offline clients like BloGTK?

    Is there a way to use BloGTK together with a proxy? The proxy I use is JAP/Jondos.

    Cheers

    BloGTK 2.0 probably won’t have proxy support, but it is planned for a subsequent version. The current version of the GData library in Ubuntu doesn’t support proxies for working with Blogger. However, when more distros pick up on the latest GData library with proxy support, I will implement it in BloGTK.

    It is high on the list of future features.
