Sun Jul 20 10:03:09 2014 GMT: OpenLayers vs. leaflet
But now I have pretty much rewritten all the JavaScript code of HikingGuide. Last week I finally realised that OpenLayers must be the reason for frequent application/browser hangs on my Firefox OS phone (usually after a few minutes of the application tracking my movements). Of course, you only really see these hangs out in the field where you are not able to attach a debugger to it...
Anyway, I have now switched to leaflet and implemented offline storage on top of the functionaltilelayer which actually is easier to integrate with the async-only IndexedDB interface than the hacks I had to use for OpenLayers. The good news is that this combination seems to be quite stable now as it worked flawlessly on a walk around Oxford yesterday.
I guess next on my to-do list would then be the ability to export recorded tracks in gpx format and then work on the user interface a bit...

Tue Jul 08 20:18:54 2014 GMT: IPv6 support on Firefox OS
It seems that Firefox OS has some limited IPv6 support. There is no mention of IPv6 on the user interface, but the phone does request an IPv6 address from the router (using stateless address autoconfiguration) and is able to use IPv6 for TCP connections, although it prefers IPv4 over IPv6, so will connect via IPv4 to a dual-stacked host.
On a related note, hostapd still deletes any IPv6 addresses from the interface when it starts up, so I'll need to look into that.
Tue Jul 08 20:13:08 2014 GMT: Email on Firefox OS
Finally got IMAP body fetching working on my Firefox OS phone now after seeing bug 1012222. It turned out that I had a folder "2014.01" in my mailbox without the parent folder "2014" which completely confused the IMAP sync - creating a "2014" folder fixed the problem for me now.
