Release 1.4.3 and uniqush-conn
Tue 14 May 2013 by MonnandThis version contains some minor bug fixes and includes some hidden features which will be used by uniqush-conn. The release note explains all the changes.
Instead of the changes themselves, in this post, I would like to talk about how they related to the uniqush-conn and what's the next step.
Hidden features? Why?
Well. This is a free and open source project. There is nothing hide from users. However, hidden feature here means something for internal use and may be changed or even deleted in the future. Users should not depend upon those features.
To make those features isolated from daily use, we introduced a set of
parameters that users should avoid using them. When you send an HTTP request to
uniqush-push, you send several parameters. Any parameters whose name starting
from uniqush.
should be considered as a reserved parameter and users
should not use those parameters. This is a very easy way of separating name
space and fortunately, uniqush is not a common word.
uniqush-conn? Are you still working on it?
Yes. Definitely. Good news: it is almost done and in fact, you can play with it right now. Moreover, you can even use our java library and learn how to use it with the example.
So what am I waiting for? Why not release it and have all the fun?
As I promised, there should be libraries for mobile clients. Right now, I'm still working on the android library and there is still zero line of code for iOS library. If I cannot support these two popular platforms with the same functionality, I should not release the code.
But you can still read the code if you are really impatient.
What's next?
In fact, my focus has switched to uniqush-conn and its related libraries in recent months. You can tell this from my github commit history, where I am extending my longest streak by working on these projects.
As I can expect, the android library will be coming soon. But the iOS library may experience some delay.
Unqiush.org is upgraded
As we mentioned in the previous update, the website of uniqush.org is now upgraded. All content in previous pages are updated and the whole website is based on static pages generated by webgen. Besides, we provide binary packages for 64-bit systems, including .rpm, .deb and .tar.gz.

Uniqush after Go 1
Today, March 28th 2012, is a big day for every gopher: Go team released Go version 1. This means Go -- both the language itself and its standard library -- is stable now. Because of this, I think it's time to move uniqush onto next stage. I would like to share the …
