Announcing GPhone v0.10

My main ideas growth clearly: craft a GObject library, ala WebKitGTK+, wrapping Opal’s classes, paying attention to the gobject-introspection, also, redirecting the Opal’s multimedia rendering to a GStreamer player, and, finally, write the application with Vala.

The curiosity itched me hard, so I started to hack, from time to time, these ideas. In mid-November, last year, I had a functional prototype, which only could make phone calls in a disgraceful user interface. But I got my proof of concept.
