Translation Issues:

Please activate Glossaries for these two new projects.
It could be useful to find a way to share CAT glossaries with these new project.

The risk is to have inconsistence in translations decisions throughout the CAT/geteduroam worlds

Hi geteduroam-list,

I'm happy to share we plan to release the new Android, ChromeOS and iOS

versions of geteduroam to production in the Play and App store (very)

soon. These are entirely redeveloped and redesigned version of the Apps.

If you want a preview, you can join the beta via the Play store:

Join via Android:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.eduroam.geteduroam

Join via the web:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.eduroam.geteduroam

And for iOS/macOS, the TestFlight is at: https://edu.nl/d7hv3

As mentioned in other channels/meetings, we worked hard on new

geteduroam releases this year. At TNC we shared the first TestFlight for

iOS and macOS, and a version of the Linux CLI. Last week we shared the

first open beta of the Android App. Meanwhile the eduroam community

helped translate to various languages and we'll include as many as

possible in the release but we plan to release updates more frequently

anyway.

With the beta last week we fixed a couple of issues, and I believe we

have no showstoppers anymore. The Android App works faster on most

devices and better on devices with limited screen resolution. (We're

still investigating a speed issue for Android 8 that affects few users.

But it works very well on Android Go for instance, and is in general

more resource-friendly.) The iOS App has been very stable for a long

time without any issues. We did a lot of testing on all of these clients. *)

Please mail geteduroam AT eduroam.org if you want to mail about issues, or

feel free to contact (or DM) me directly.

For Windows and macOS we plan to have new releases too shortly. Windows

will include support for ARM in a separate version, is also redeveloped

from the ground up and includes the new theming. The macOS App will

assist the user in the installation of a .mobileconfig profile,

unfortunately macOS still doesn't have the proper support to configure

WiFi natively.

Regards,

Paul

*) We are aware of some issues with both the old and new geteduroam

Apps, that seem to affect certain brands. We need to find out what

profile combination exactly affects these brands, and can then exclude

the configurations from the App.
