Sakis3G timeline

It will be no further updates to the 0.1.3 series of Sakis3G. Instead, version 0.2.0 will be released in something more than two weeks. Version 0.2.0 is a complete re-write (under development since Mid-February) with major changes including but not limited to:

  • Different workflow which allows more stable operation for several devices/kernels/environments.
  • Allows even more USB modems to work (and not only "option.ko" driven).
  • Permanently drops dependency to sharutils/uudecode.
  • More GUI options. Better appearance. 9menu is not anymore embedded in script, still can be used if found within path.
  • Allows UTF-8 translations so that localized versions appear in the future.
  • Will not exceed 200 KB (currently compiles to 160KB) + any added size from translations.
  • Comes bundled with latest Usb-ModeSwitch version. More than that, it now includes source and can compile it itself (if not in a 386 platform).
  • Includes even more "magic" of your already favorite flavor. It is still one "magic" file doing all, touching nothing, no-installation required.

You should not expect 0.2.0 to come before April 14th (still many things to do, large part of documentation needs to be rewritten).

  1. Nice Sakis, thank you for your effort, I highly appreciate it. I am planning on giving you some feedback with my experience and questions about my 3g modem (Huawei E1692, usb_modemswitch and lsusb reports it as E620, Wind GR is the network operator).
