Hi there. Yeah, I know this is not as important as PR1.2 ;-)

I'd like to announce CasualServices 0.5. This is the first version that I think it's prepared for end-users, so I have promoted it to Extras-testing.

What is CasualServices?
CasualServices is an application for searching services, business and places. Get information about them and share this information with your contacts.

Most important features are:

• Search services, and get information about them.
• Two backends for realizing the searches: 11870.com and Google Local
• Search near your position given by the N900 GPS.
• Search in a specific locality.
• Show the services that an user has saved at 11870.com
• Show all services in a map to see its relative position.
• Share information about a service to your friends (at the moment only Twitter).
• Add information about a service to your Maemo 5 agenda.

How to install
Well, it's available in Extras-testing, so it needs to fulfil the QA process before to arrive to Extras.
If you're using Extras-testing or devel, then you will be able to install it from your application manager.

Don't forget to test it.

Known problems, and some coming features

• 11870.com is a spanish based site, so they have many spanish information but few from other places, I added Google Local to alleviate this problem for international users, more services will come, like Yelp, etc.
• If the GPS takes much time to get a fix, perhaps your localization is not perfectly correct in the searches. I mean it will use the previous GPS data, and not your actual position.
• More ways to share the information about a service with your friends (Facebook, email, etc.)

Documentation
I wrote some documentation for the application. Improvements welcome ;-)

Translations
Right now, it's available in Spanish, and in my special English. You can translate CasualServices to your favourite language through transifex.net.

Acknowledgements
Special thanks to AndrewFBlack for the icon.

Also, thanks to the QA testers. I have fixed a couple of packaging problems thanks to them and the QA process. Obviously it's an important and necessary process, and I hope that the critics doesn't discourage this important group in the community.

Feedback very very welcome.
