You know you can't be fooled, so take a deep breath and read on... Announcing the release of Beagle 0.3.5 (Standard disclaimers apply). We have taken another attempt at building beagle without breaking anything and this time we fixed building with recent NDesk-DBus. We also fixed regressions in beagle-search where beagle-search window could appear grey when the shortcut key is pressed and/or beagle-search could crash when shortcut key is pressed. Enjoy. Oh, and now the epiphany extension also supports Epiphany 2.22. THE SHORT OF IT --------------- To download the 0.3.5 release or learn more about Beagle, visit the Beagle web page: http://beagle-project.org Link to tarball: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/beagle/0.3/beagle-0.3.5.tar.bz2 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). * Notes and address-book entries are indexed as they are created. 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. Also included is an experimental web based search interface. To learn more about Beagle, visit: http://beagle-project.org/About NOTABLE CHANGES between 0.3.4 and 0.3.5 -------------------------------------------- * Fix build with recent NDesk-DBus. * Fix building of Epiphany extension and add support for Epiphany 2.22. * Fix a grey window bug and a crash on pressing shortcut key in beagle-search (debian #473285, gentoo #201093-comment-48). Contributors to this release: Arun Raghavan, Debajyoti Bera. Full set of changes: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/beagle/tags/BEAGLE_0_3_5/beagle/ChangeLog?view=markup KNOWN ISSUES ------------------------- * Beagled might wake up the CPU even when idle. This is due to certain limitations in mono. * Presence of procmail log files in a users' KMail directory can cause problems with GMime. This is fixed with GMime 2.2.16. * Some users are reporting this crash in gmime "gmime-ERROR **: file gmime-stream-fs.c: line 280 (stream_seek): should not be reached": This is a bug in GMime when built with LFS support (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501830) * Some files and directories for users with a non-UTF8 locale might not be correctly handled. We are working on this. - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com beagle / KDE fan Mandriva / Inspiron-1100 user From wberrier at novell.com Wed Apr 2 13:12:47 2008 From: wberrier at novell.com (Wade Berrier) Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2008 11:12:47 -0600 Subject: [Mono-announce-list] Mono 1.9 Released Message-ID: <1207156367.9517.18.camel@berrier.lan> Hi, Mono 1.9 was published on March 13th of 2008: http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html This is our best Mono release yet.

We fixed a major regression introduced in 0.3.4 in which Tomboy notes were not indexed. Other than that, this release comes with several new features, namely a GMail search-only backend, a 'locate' based backend to supplement FileSystem backend search results, updated Firefox extension for Firefox 3.0beta and a command line 'blocate' to work just like locate but with beagle indexes without beagled running. We also updated out image filters and dropped libexif dependency.

To learn more about Beagle, visit: http://beagle-project.org/About NOTABLE CHANGES between 0.3.5 and 0.3.6 -------------------------------------------- * Fix regression in 0.3.4 (content of Tomboy notes were not indexed). For bug-fix backports please merge r4656. * Fix the network-service backend. * Catch the galago dllnotfoundexception and prevent a crash (relevant for Debian libgalago1.0-cil package). * Update Firefox extension to Firefox 3.0. * Use an icon from the Tomboy project for displaying note tiles in beagle-search. Package this icon with beagle-search. * Update F-Spot files from latest F-Spot svn trunk. Update the JPEG filter to use the managed Tiff parser instead of libexif. Drop libexif dependency. * Display network search related options in beagle-settings. * Add a GMail and Google Apps email live search backend. See http://beagle-project.org/Live_GMail_Search for details. This does not index the emails itself but directly queries GMail. Apart from a limited functionality, this will also submit user queries to Google (note to people concerned with privacy). This backend can be packaged separately by bundling GoogleBackends.xml and GoogleBackends.dll. The backend is disabled by default. * Add option to store and retrieve GMail password from KDE Wallet. * Show query-domain selection menu in beagle-search. Replace "--network yes|no" with "--domain ..." options in beagle-query for full choice of query domains. * Add a 'locate' based backend to supplement the FileSystem backend. If enabled, results from 'locate' will also be returned except the ones which are already returned by the FileSystem backend. The FileSystem backend also has to be enabled for this backend to work. This is only meant to be used when FileSystem backend is still crawling or if results from the entire file system is desired; due to several limitation in locate itself and in this backend, this backend is disabled by default. * Add 'blocate' - a 'locate' like tool to query static indexes without running beagled. It is a wrapper to beagle-static-query and can be configured using blocate.conf (globally at /etc/beagle and locally at ~/.beagle/config). blocate and beagle-update-index form the beagle powered replacement for locate and updatedb. * Translations: - Japanese (Takeshi AIHANA) - Spanish (Jorge Gonzalez) - Brazilian Portuguese (Igor Soares) - Swedish (Daniel Nylander) Contributors to this release: Debajyoti Bera, Filia Tao, Nirbheek Chauhan Full set of changes: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/beagle/tags/BEAGLE_0_3_6/beagle/ChangeLog?view=markup - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com From wberrier at novell.com Mon Apr 21 20:08:26 2008 From: wberrier at novell.com (Wade Berrier) Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:08:26 -0600 Subject: [Mono-announce-list] 1.9.1 Mono Release Message-ID: <1208822906.32212.94.camel@wberrier.site> Hi, We've released 1.9.1 as a minor bugfix update to 1.9.

Thanks to Mirco (meebey) Bauer, we figured out the reason behind beagled crashing but not quite aborting leading to hangs in all kinds of applications trying to connect to beagled. We have added a workaround in this release. It is highly recommended to update to 0.3.7 or backport r4730 to any of the earlier 0.3.x releases. We also recommend disabling the EvolutionDataServer backend if you are facing crashes in beagled.

This is specially important for the evolution-sharp bug [2] due to which beagled might crash when the EvolutionDataServer backend is enabled. For some users, the crash resulted in a non-functional but hanged beagled that in turn hanged programs trying to contact beagled like gtkfilechooser. * Translations: - Japanese (Takeshi AIHANA) Full set of changes: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/beagle/tags/BEAGLE_0_3_7/beagle/ChangeLog?view=markup - dBera [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381928 [2] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519284 -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com
