There are no bugfixes in this release, but there are a few feature request implementations. Of particular note is the addition of the localization and help frameworks (see below for more details). Mostly this release was to re-organize the package in preparation for the final release of the 2006 OS and for inclusion in the new maemo contrib repository.

Speaking of which, the gnuite.com repository, although it includes Maemo Mapper v1.0.2, is being deprecated in favor of the maemo contrib repository:

Web location: http://repository.maemo.org/contrib/
Distribution: 2.0
Components: free

The repository is open to all Garage developers, so hopefully it will begin filling up with other Garage packages.

Of course, if you prefer, Maemo Mapper's Garage page will still allow you to download the source or the deb's directly from the file download page.

About localization: the localization framework has been added, but I will leave it to the fluent to translate the English text into different languages. If you would like to have direct access to the SVN repository for translation purposes, just make a request through the Maemo Mapper Garage page (on the Summary page).

If you would like to see Maemo Mapper translated into your language, but don't have the resources to do the translation yourself, add a Tracker item concerning your requested language. That will let people know that you're interested in a translation to that language.

The same goes (sort of) for documentation. The in-program help infrastructure has been added, but if you happen to take a look at it (through the Help application; direct access via Maemo Mapper is a little buggy), you'll see that it is seriously lacking (there's basically nothing there).

If you would like to contribute documentation (maybe because you really want to help out, but you have no coding skills, or maybe my C is too ugly to read), then request to join the Maemo Mapper team as a documenter, which will give you access to the in-program help in SVN as well as the online documentation section in the Garage (which you'll note is also quite empty).

And if you want to contribute, but have no coding skills and no documentation skills, you can help by providing feedback, suggestions, and bug reports, all at Maemo Mapper's Garage website. And you can still choose to donate on the Maemo Mapper Homepage - thank you to everyone who has already donated.
