News
Radio Downloader was the first
project I published on this
site - I’m somewhat alarmed to discover that was well over 18 years ago!
I’ve a lot of fondness for Radio Downloader, which is probably why I’ve taken
until now to decide to step away from it, despite not having had the enthusiasm
to maintain it as well as I’d have liked in more recent years (or having
released a new version in over five years).
I’ll leave the project pages and source repository online for the foreseeable
future but I’ve marked them as archived to make the situation clear.
Apologies to anyone who is disappointed by this news but I hope you’ll
understand.

Rsync for Tasker page.
The main reason for this release is to fix compilation under GCC 13 but it also:
- Fixes warnings reported by cppcheck.
- Bumps the minimum cmake version from 3.2 to 3.5 to fix a deprecation warning.
For full details and to download this release, see the
libbeebimage page.
- Updated bundled Dropbear binaries to 2024.86.
- Increased minSdk from 19 to 21 as the latest Jetpack libraries and NDK r26 require this. Unfortunately this means that the app now only runs on Android 5.0 and above.
- Updated dependencies.
For full details and to download this release, see the
Rsync for Tasker page.
I’ve just added Issue 67 to the
8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion.
This was an extra issue released in 2013 but I only recently became aware of it.
Since the rest of the issues were added I’ve made quite a few incremental
improvements to the conversion, especially relating to the accuracy of the Mode
7 conversion and much better handling of archive content. I plan to continue
making gradual improvements over time.
- Correctly ignore files unlinked from an inner nested recycle directory instead of moving them to the outer recycle dir.
For full details and to download this release, see the
recycle.ko page.
I’ve written a new Linux kernel module inspired by the Samba vfs_recycle
module
but to work more generally with any local file system.
It is currently tested and working with Ubuntu 24.04 and a DKMS .deb package
is available for Debian-based distros. For more information, check out the
project page.
- Return a clear error message when a file access permission needs to be granted to the app to allow rsync to read or write a given path.
- Re-title and add some details after the update check toggle in both the Dropbear and rsync actions for clarity.
- Default the update check toggle to off if the app was installed from a store (as the store is likely to manage updates itself).
- Explain the reasons for all requested app permissions in both the readme and project homepage.
- Updated bundled Dropbear binaries to 2024.85.
- Updated bundled rsync binary to 3.3.0.
- Updated dependencies.
For full details and to download this release, see the
Rsync for Tasker page.
- Return errors from actions instead of throwing exceptions for ‘expected’ problems.
- Removed timeout option from dbclient action and automatically set timeout 1 second before the action timeout in Tasker.
- Added automatic timeout functionality to the rsync action too.
- Added a message to the returned error when the dbclient or rsync actions reach their timeout.
- Updated targetSdk to 34 (Android 14).
- Updated dependencies.
