Hi! This blog has become kind of Dianara-centric lately, but you know… The program is in very active development these days. I just released v0.7.
Current status
Main changes since v0.6:
- Messages tab, showing posts specifically directed to you.
- Activity tab, listing your own posts.
- Favorites tab, listing the posts you’ve liked.
- Show recipients of a post, the “To” and “CC” fields.
- New options in the formatting menu in the publisher:
“preformatted block” and “insert image from web site”. - Minor feed, a.k.a. “the meanwhile column”.
- Show “inserted images”, in addition to the image in Picture-type posts.
- Autorefresh of timelines will not interrupt while commenting. This was very annoying.
- Confirmation when canceling a message if there’s content in it.
- Show where links go when hovering them.
- Several other small fixes and optimizations. For a complete list, see the CHANGELOG file.
Note that SSL errors are ignored, for now. This is bad security-wise, but it only affects when downloading images, and well… the pump.io network is pretty trustworthy at this time anyway 😉
I just changed the SSL error handling to ignore them because some Pump servers have self-signed certificates and that could cause annoyances. I’ll do something better for next version.
Get it
You can get the code from Qt-apps.org: http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Dianara?content=148103, and hopefully we’ll see Dianara packaged for some GNU/linux distributions soon. For now, you can at least find it in Archlinux’s AUR, and there is a Gentoo Ebuild.
Debian users might need some components from the experimental branch at this time. Check the INSTALL file for details.
Feedback is appreciated!

Keep on with your great work with the app!!
Almost got it to work in OpenSUSE 12.3. It keeps crashing after a few seconds after authorizing Dianara. I copied the binary in /usr/bin
Here’s the debug output
***@***:~> dianara –debug:

Segment violation
I forgot to mention: It’s OpenSUSE 12.3 x64
Hm…. this might be related to not having any posts in your timelines. I’ll check it out.
OK, confirmed. The crash is due to not having any favorited posts. If you click “like” in at least one post in the web interface, it should work.
I’ll see what the cause is now.
Thanks, this was a nice catch! 😉
Confirmed and fixed. I uploaded a new tarball to Qt-apps.org.
Thanks!
It works fine now. Keep on rockin’
Great application.
Thanks!!!
