Version 1.4.4 is about ready for deployment to the Store (if the store still accepts anything..).

Symbian Instagraph widget's "Alternative upload" method is confirmed as working. Also, JavaScript APIs used by "Browse Gallery" have been implemented, but the native component required to actually upload the pictures is not yet supported (I'll get back to this later..).

Please note that downloading S60 widgets from Nokia Store using N9 is currently not possible (stupid Store limitation). If you happen to find Instagraph or any other widget package in downloadable format from some other, less legal site, please remember to also purchase the app from Nokia Store to support the developer(s) for their hard work.

Here is the full changelog:
* Implemented frame skipping for scrolling to improve responsiveness
* Implemented support or reacting to widget setting changes dynamically (excluding network access policy)
* Implemented support for disabling data encryption
* Added TCP port (when non-standard) to list of allowed network addresses shown on details view
* Added translation for Finnish language
* Improved some of the installation error messages
* Core support for desktop build
* Fixed file selection sheet scroll position not resetting when opening a new folder
* Fixed Symbian WRT widget.openApplication() support for UIDs prefixed with "s60uid://"
* Fixed Symbian style content request handling with absolute file paths (i.e. using file protocol instead of trying to use drive letter)
* Fixed handling view modes defined in configuration document to use proper priority order
* Fixed handling of scandic characters within Mozilla manifest files by properly converting text from UTF-8
* Experimental support for Symbian WRT Platform Services 1.0 Location API
* Experimental support for Symbian WRT Platform Services 1.0 Media Management API
* Experimental support for Symbian WRT Platform Services 1.0 System Information API
* Experimental support for Symbian WRT Platform Services 1.0 AppManager API

As you can see, there are a lot of changes. The biggest, and yet quite invisible, is some major architectural refactoring to enable building the app for other platforms besides N9. I've used desktop as a test platform but there are no intentions to distribute Hydra for desktop (at the moment at least). Next actual target is of course the Sailfish OS and possibly Android later on when Qt becomes fully supported.

I'm also considering open sourcing Hydra. At first, this would be with licensing model that allows contribution but prevents distribution beyond 'official' releases. Anyone here interested in doing some development work towards Sailfish compatibility?
