Like usual, please be aware that running the development series code is considered living on the edge (please make regular backup copies of your notes). This release focuses on cleaning up the new synchronization UIs in preparation for the upcoming GNOME UI freeze. Note synchronization is getting more and more stable. In other Tomboy news, left-handed keyboard-enthusiasts will be happy to know that that shift+delete now works to cut text in Tomboy, thanks to Andrew Fister. ;-) We could still use a better icon for the "Synchronize Notes" menu item, if anyone is interested in helping out on that... Tomboy is a simple personal note-taking application designed to be unobtrusive and friendly, while supporting inter-note-links similar to a WikiWikiWeb to help you organize your notes and ideas. It can run either as a GNOME panel applet or a notification tray icon.

Cheers! -Boyd From joe at joeshaw.org Mon Aug 27 14:20:31 2007 From: joe at joeshaw.org (Joe Shaw) Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 14:20:31 -0400 Subject: [Mono-announce-list] ANNOUNCE: Beagle 0.2.18 Message-ID: Hi, I'm pleased to announce the release of Beagle 0.2.18. This is a bug fix release, mainly to handle API breakage in evolution-sharp. THE SHORT OF IT --------------- To download the 0.2.18 release or learn more about Beagle, visit the Beagle web page: http://beagle-project.org [ Due to a temporary problem with the GNOME FTP server, the tarball is also available here: http://primates.ximian.com/~joe/beagle-0.2.18.tar.gz ] WHAT IS BEAGLE? --------------- Beagle is a Linux desktop-independent service which transparently and unobtrusively indexes your data in real-time. For example: * Files are immediately indexed when they are created, are re-indexed when they are modified, and are dropped from the index upon deletion. * E-mails are indexed upon arrival. * IM conversations are indexed as you chat, a line at a time. * Web pages are indexed as you view them (with a browser extension). Beagle supports many different data sources and file formats. For a complete listing, visit: http://beagle-project.org/Supported_Filetypes Beagle uses the Lucene indexing system from the Apache project and the prodigious Doug Cutting, ported to .NET by George Aroush. Beagle includes an optional GNOME-based graphical tool for searching its indexes. To learn more about Beagle, visit: http://beagle-project.org/About DEPENDENCY HECK --------------- The Beagle daemon requires at least: * Mono 1.1.13.5 * glib-sharp 2.4.0 * GMime 2.2.0 * libexif 0.5.7 * shared-mime-info * sqlite 2.x or 3.3.1 The GNOME user interface requires: * gtk-sharp 2.4.0 * gnome-sharp 2.4.0 To support all of Beagle's features and file formats, you should also have: * Mono 1.2.2 or better * Firefox 1.5 or Epiphany * Evolution-sharp 0.13.3 * libgsf 1.14.1 * gsf-sharp 0.8.1 from http://primates.ximian.com/~joe/gsf-sharp-0.8.1.tar.gz * wv1 1.2.4 * pdfinfo and pdftotext from xpdf * MPlayer or Totem 2.17.1 * Galago 0.5.x * Linux kernel 2.6.13 with inotify NOTABLE CHANGES BETWEEN 0.2.17 AND 0.2.18 ----------------------------------------- * Build and run against evolution-sharp 0.13.3. * No longer recrawl directories if we can't set up an inotify watch. This fixes the looping bug of death when the screensaver kicks in. * Greatly improve indexing overhead with the beagle-build-index tool. * Display a warning in the log if the number of inotify watches runs out. * Fix a problem in which beagle-search wouldn't work after a daemon restart. [bgo #463803] * Fix a bug in which processing large numbers of maildir files could cause beagled to run out of file descriptors. [bgo #466891] * Add support for the ~/.liferea_1.2 directory to the Liferea backend. [bgo #426573] * Add support for PDF keywords, and allow colons in PDF metadata. [bgo #463003] * Ignore legal.xml files in the Docbook filter, since they're largely content-less and frequently duplicated. * Fix the SQL used to retrieve tag information from the Digikam DB. [bgo #454656] * Improve error reporting throughout. Contributors to this release: Joe Shaw, Debajyoti Bera, Lukas Lipka, Joseph Benavidez, JP Rosevear. Full set of changes: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/beagle/tags/BEAGLE_0_2_18/ChangeLog KNOWN ISSUES ------------ The Thunderbird backend is memory hungry and buggy. It is now disabled by default, but can be reenabled by passing in --enable-thunderbird to configure. There are some race conditions that can occur with certain combinations of file system operations. In very rare cases it might be necessary to stop and restart the daemon. At this point in development, we cannot commit to stable APIs or file formats. You will almost certainly need to reindex your data at some point in the future.

Release notes are here: http://go-mono.com/archive/1.2.5/ Downloads are available from: http://mono-project.com/Downloads There are also rpms in the openSUSE Build Service (which has RPMS for newer Fedora distros and suse factory): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Mono/ The vmware image has been updated with improvements of which several were suggestions based on feedback we received. -Browse Windows network from inside the VMware image (start nmb) -smart installed as an optional/additional package manager -System.Windows.Forms demos don't open a terminal any longer (use .desktop files to call the wrapper scripts) -SWF Demos updated -Obsolete nGallery ASP.Net demo removed -openSUSE 10.2 shipped with a version of Beagle that has some serious bugs, so it was removed -ext3 partition was set to never do consistency checks -probably some more things that I forgot... Thanks to all who tried out the preview releases and filed bugs against it. Enjoy! Wade
