Good news for people who would like to get Haguichi from a repository! A few days ago the WebUpd8 team has created a PPA for Haguichi. And at the same time Adam Mizerski finished creating a ton of packages for RPM based distro’s using openSUSE Build Service. For openSUSE itself he also provided handy 1-click install links.

I should also mention here that since the very first release Jannik Heller maintains the Haguichi package in the Arch User Repository.

Haguichi 1.0.1 is out! Changes are:

• Added support for attaching the Hamachi² client to a LogMeIn account.
• Improved out of the box support for different environments:
  • The default commands are now using KDE applications when a KDE session is detected.
  • Automatic detection of the available graphical sudo command (currently checks for gksudo, gnomesu, kdesudo and kdesu).
  • Prevents GConf libraries from segfaulting when the configuration server isn’t running.
• Added complete Japanese translations (thanks to Satoru Matsumoto).
• Added command line options --help, --version and --license.
• Other minor fixes, improvements and optimizations.

As you may have noticed, Haguichi currently ships with three default commands, specifically:

• Browse Shares (nautilus smb://%A/)
• View Remote Desktop (vinagre %A)
• Ping (gnome-terminal -x ping %A)

Now, I’m interested to know what commands you actually use. Especially if you use any custom commands, and if so what they are. Maybe there are some generally useful ones that can be shipped by default.

As benevolent dictator of the Haguichi project I have the pleasant privilege to announce to you the immediate availability of Haguichi 1.0.0! And there’s a good reason for these round numbers, you know. Let me share them:

• Elaborate support for the Hamachi² client, including:
  • Managing access to your Hamachi² network (setting password, lock and approval method)
  • Sending join requests to when a network requires manual approval of your membership
  • Support for long nicknames (> 25 characters) of members in your list
• Updating the network list and changing network status is now handled in the background (using threads) so the GUI stays responsive during these events.
• Complete translations for one new language: Italian.
• Added an interactive demo mode which acts as if there’s an Hamachi² client present, even when there’s not. Handy for taking screenshots or simply trying out Haguichi without having to install the Hamachi client. Start Haguichi from command line with option --demo to activate this mode.
• New spiffy icons! Many thanks to Lapo Calamandrei for creating the new sleeker base shape and giving me a live demo over IRC on how to draw highres icons.

Haguichi 0.9.2 is now available. This release contains just a couple of small updates:

• Complete translations for two new languages: Russian and Swedish.
• Some other translation updates.
• Fixed dialogs sometimes being visible shortly at startup.
• Fixed unnecessary deployment of Main.cs file.

This will most likely be the last release in the 0.9 series as development focus will shift towards a new series adding support for Hamachi².

Haguichi 0.9.1 is out! Updates are:

• Complete translations for three new languages: French, German and Spanish.
• Haguichi is now able to automatically reconnect when the connection is lost.
• Haguichi now waits for an established internet connection before trying to connect, if it’s configured to connect automatically at startup (Fixes bug #588903).

I am proud to announce the first public release of Haguichi. Haguichi provides a graphical frontend for Hamachi on Linux that integrates smoothly into your GNOME desktop.

This release contains all features required to control Hamachi plus much more. To discover all it’s features head over to the download section and give it a shot!

As this is the first public release you might stumble upon some bugs. If so, please report them here. If you would like to help translating Haguichi into another language, you are welcome here.

I hope you will enjoy using Haguichi!
