@ievolver Version 2.1 is out now.
I’d like to release a small bug fixing update during the weekend, and want to include http://windowsphone.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/226 in it.Could you please take a look at the icon? We need a new AppBar icon with an “i” in it. I think it should be very close to the icon we’re using for ‘italic’ without the italic style applied on it

A new version of WPWindowsPhone is near to be released.
There are few strings that we’ve added to the app recently, mainly related to the new features: Push Notifications and Visual Text Editor. Could you please verify that the following Strings are translated in your language?Prompts_UsernameOrPasswordError
Prompts_PinToStartPushNotification
ControlText_PublishStatus
ControlText_AllowToastNotifications
ControlText_PushNotifications
Prompts_AllowToastPushNotificationhttp://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wordpress-for-windows-phone/development
Languages that don’t have a translation for the strings above will be excluded from the release, otherwise Microsoft will reject the app.

Version 1.9.4 ( 2.0 ) of WPWinPhone is almost ready to be submitted to the Store. I’m aiming to submit the app Tue/Wed next week. Please, help me to test the app
Below is a list of things to test:
- Jetpack Stats
- Galleries for wpcom
- EditPage and EditPost Screens: do they keep their values even when the app is tombstoned?
- Are the shortcuts to the Dashboard and to the Site working fine?
I’m not sure if we need to call this release 2.0, since it only adds the support for Gallery, but this feature is limited to WordPress.com sites. /cc @ievolver

You can create a ticket in trac here http://windowsphone.trac.wordpress.org/ and attach a patch to it.
In the meantime I’ve changed that code that now reduces the quality of the picture only when ‘preserveBandwidth’ is set.-

I’m really sorry, I went to the trac page above and I can see how to search tickets, but I wasn’t able to figure out how to submit a ticket. Do I need to login first? Do I have a login?
Also, I was wondering if you would consider changing the wb.SaveJpeg call to always use 100 quality? I have been using the client on my phone to post to my blog and the 85 quality is really noticeable and it doesn’t really give that much more file size reduction for the loss in quality.

Danilo
Yep, you need to register on the WordPress.org site here: http://wordpress.org/support/
I’ve already set the quality to 100 when the option ‘preserveBandwith’ is not selected. See http://windowsphone.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/550

Hey @aerych, I closed some important bugs over the weekend. Could you please help me testing the app a little bit more?
I think we’re ready to release a small bug fixing upgrade wednesday, or later this week.-
Eric
Can do sir. I’ll spend some time today.
-
Danilo
Thanks Eric.
Could you please do another quick round of testing? I did some changes on the way local drafts are stored within the app and want to be sure everything is fine. I did a long session of testing today, but another set of eyes would be better.FYI: Going to submit the app to the store today (late evening UTC time).

Spent some time yesterday evening (I saw you responded to one of the tickets). This morning I went through the pages, posts, comments, and blog settings features. Everything looks pretty solid. I specifically tried to break local drafts and attached media but it the app would handle everything I threw at it. Submit away sir!

Danilo
Thanks again for testing the update. Submitting 1.9.2!

FYI: I was able to run the Windows Phone Emulator in a Win8 VM on Mac by following the instructions here: http://girliemac.com/blog/2013/01/09/how-to-enable-wp8-emulator-on-mac/
For me it was just a small tweak, since everything was already there:
- Shutdown the VM
- Changed the Virtualization methods to “Intel VT-x with EPT”
- Added the missing configuration strings to the vmx file
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = “FALSE”
mce.enable = “TRUE”
vhv.enable = “TRUE”- Restart the VM

Just a heads up that I posted on Polyglots about the upcoming release with new and updated strings in it:

Tip: You can enable keyboard input from your computer in the emulator by pressing the Page Down key, which on a Mac is fn+down arrow

Note to devs: I added a control in r320 that is used to select the post status in the editor. It requires the Nov 2011 release of the silverlight toolkit, so you’ll need to update your reference to that in order for the control to work.
I put all of the references I’m using in a zip file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e964vs5fiokxxh1/WPWP8DLLs.zip

Hey Dan, I’ve updated the dependencies file by adding the Silverlight Nov 2011 update. http://windowsphone.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/321

Plan for version 1.7 over the week as discussed in the weekly dev chat:
- Complete tickets listed in Trac by Friday.
- Announce an early Beta, and submit to the store on monday.
- Clean up Trac and move unnecessary tickets to 1.7.1.
The goal of this release is to add some new features that are glaringly absent from the app, such as better media management and local drafts, as well as fix any major bugs for the WindowsPhone 8 launch. We decided to postpone major UI redesign to the next release. The new post editor, and the new formatting toolbar, is then postponed to the next release.
Not quite sure where to post this…The forum registration seemed to not be working.
I was wondering if the quality of the JPEG resizes could be improved?
[WordPress.Model/Media.cs - LN 330]
wb.SaveJpeg(filestream, pixelWidth, pixelHeight, 0, 85);
Also, I would not mind submitting a change, but I’m not quite sure how to submit a pull request with trac.
