The concern that people are unable to find a way to get back to
applications is a correct one. The recent changes does fix the problem.
However, it takes a step back in the design. The 'Applications' text is
too prominent. I propose that we replace it with the commonly used
icon. Featured in mobile interfaces and on Google home page, users
should have no difficulty identifing it as applications icon.
After experimenting with the placement of the icon, it seems more
asthetically pleasing to have it at the place of 'Applications' text and
not at the center etc.
- Change term 'reboot' to 'restart' as it is less techinical and more
consistent with popular interaces on desktop/mobiles.
- Updated description for power module.
- Simplify the module title to just 'Power'.
- Update the use of elipses and angular quotes as angular quotes and
elipses are both used to indicate that further user interface will be
available after pressing the button.
- Remove suprious '\' in power_reboot.html.
- Notify to the user that web interface will not be available after
reboot/shutdown.
- Redirect the user to application page after restart/shutdown. If the
page serve succeeds, they will have simply refresh/access it after
restart/shutdown after waiting or powering on.
- Show error message based on return code rather than messages in
stderr.
- Don't decorate the message paragraph with alert color, we are already
doing that by showing a message at the top.
- Untabify.
- Improve message showing that upgrades are running, gramatically.
- Show errors messages decorated as errors.
- Minor cleanups.
Python 3.2.x is deprecated, so I thought it would be
good to get tests running on some newer pythons. I've
switched from the python3-gi package to using 'pgi' from
pypi, because the apt-installed python3-gi was having trouble
importing.
pgi required python 3.3+ (see: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pgi),
so I've removed python 3.2 from the test matrix. Let me know if
we're using python 3.2 anywhere, but as far as I know plinth is
run on python 3.4.3 with debian sid on the freedombox image.
To test whether internationalization is done properly, rename this folder
a known non-existing locale. Set browser to contain that locale and
visit Plinth. Every string that is i18ned properly will show up in
capitals. Other strings will show as regular string.
Django picks up locale files from project directory and application
directories. Move the locales into project directory.
Also update the po files using 'django-admin makemessages'.
- Authentication using client certificates. Extra password based
authentication for later.
- Auto setup of CA, server and client certificates.
- Provides a .ovpn profile for each user for easy setup.
- Use 4096 bit Diffie-Hellman parameters for better security. If this
takes to much time, reduce it to 2048 or 1024, at least during
debugging.
