Those engaged in developing applications for Nokia N97 will be interested to know that the final version of the Nokia N97 SDK has been released today.

N97 SDK emulator screnshot

 

The new SDK version provides:

  • Improved support of home screen features.
  • Updated SDK documentation.
  • Support for the Chinese version of the full keyboard.
  • Updated example applications.
  • Updated default emulator theme.
  • Fixes for all other important bugs.

Read more about features and known issues in SDK’s release notes.

It is probably worth making clear a few points about this SDK:

  • Nokia N97 is and S60 5th Edition (Symbian^1) device and it is fully compatible that that platform release. Any application developed for S60 5th Edition devices using the S60 5th Edition (Symbian^1) SDK will be compatible with smartphone as well.
  • The Nokia N97 SDK is only provided as an alternative, mostly beneficial to those developing applications targeting N97′s specific features, features not supported by the platform release and thus not supported by other devices based on it, as for example the home screen widgets.
  • While the APIs in the S60 5th Edition SDK are covered by platform’s binary compatibility promise, all the additional device specific APIs provided by the Nokia N97 SDKs are provided "as is", without binary compatibility promise.

That’s it. Enjoy the new release and don’t forget to let us know what you think about it.

PyS60 1.9.4 is now here!

As predicted here , PyS60 team releases one more PyS60 dot release in the series of 1.9.x releases. Some additions as below, and as said earlier, baby steps are always good. New features with PyS60 1.9.4 A single Nokia signed runtime package which can be installed on all S60 3rd ED and above devices is available.(size with dependencies=2.8MB, actual size if runtime ~1MB) Improved Application Packager : The PyS60 application packager now scans the Python application being packaged and picks up the missing Python modules on which the application is dependent and packages them along with the application files. Easier runtime deployment : Python runtime and its dependent components can be installed by just running any Python application packaged using 1.9.4 application packager. (Only available from S60 3rd edition FP2 devices onwards with latest firmware) Two new APIs added to the socket module – access_points() and set_default_access_point() which have similar functionality to the APIs present in btsocket module. Two new APIs  added to e32 module – get_capabilities() and has_capabilities() . The former can be used to get the capabilities, the application has been signed with, and the latter to check if a given list of capabilities is granted to the application or not. New mode to appuifw.app.screen – ‘full_max’ which can be used to achieve fullscreen on devices that don’t have Left Soft Key and Right Soft Key(e.g.: Nokia 5800). May be few more dot releases should lead to a final product – PyS60 2.0 – pretty soon! You can download the release from maemo garage garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=854
