Of course, since many of the authors of Tomboy work on it "in their spare time" anything's possible. You can help! Please share your ideas with us on the Tomboy Mailing List [2], by submitting a feature in GNOME's Bugzilla [3], or by adding them to our Wiki [4]. We'd love to see new contributors join us; submit a one-line patch or write an entirely new feature.

From dbera.web at gmail.com Sun Mar 23 18:31:58 2008 From: dbera.web at gmail.com (D Bera) Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2008 18:31:58 -0400 Subject: [Mono-announce-list] ANNOUNCE: Beagle & Libbeagle 0.3.4 Message-ID: <1f1f006d0803231531n2cdc14b8w5df3e3100344b9b9@mail.gmail.com> Hi, Allow me to introduce Beagle 0.3.4 and Libbeagle 0.3.4. This is mostly a bugfix release and fixes several build problems, including building with mono 1.9 and gnome-sharp 2.20. We have also upgraded to Lucene.Net 2.1 which comes with speed and memory improvements. Your data will automatically re-indexed; you have to regenerate static indexes if you created any custom ones. THE SHORT OF IT --------------- To download the 0.3.4 release or learn more about Beagle, visit the Beagle web page: http://beagle-project.org 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 ----------------------------------- More below: * Dependency changes * Packaging changes * API Changes * New features * Beagle bug fixes * Libbeagle bug fixes * Translation changes * Known issues NOTABLE CHANGES between 0.3.3 and 0.3.4 -------------------------------------------- [DEPENDENCY] * Need Mono at least 1.2.4; recommended at least 1.9 * GMime-sharp recommended at least 2.2.16 [PACKAGING] * All the global configuration files are now in a single place in beagle/conf-data directory. [API] * Add API to set the number of words and the total length of the snippets. [FEATURES] * Move to Lucene.Net 2.1 (backported a faster analyzer and other improvements). * Move query mapping (e.g. mappings for ext:, genre:) to a separate user editable /etc/beagle/query-mapping.xml (global) and ~/.beagle/query-mapping.xml (local). beagled needs to be restarted to read the new mappings. * Expose a Hide/Show DBus interface for beagle-search. * Firefox search bar plugin to query using beagle's web interface. * Add a tool beagle-static-query to query beagle without starting beagled. This is mainly meant for static indexes (like locate with the system index, like mod for a monodoc index). * Lots of beagle-search beautification. * Add a query mapping "filename:" to query for filenames and words in it (e.g. match My in MyFile.txt and My_File.txt). * Enable the TeXinfo filter. * Add a filter for .info files (including gz/bz2/lzma compressed info files). manpages crawl rule now contains /usr/share/info. * SIGUSR2 will now also print runtime debugging information of beagled. [BUGFIX - beagle] * Use the new Mono.Unix.UnixSignal if built with mono 1.9. This should remove the last of the beagled/index-helper hangs during shutdown. * Add the missing files for the firefox extension sidebar. * Show a better error message if ~/.beagle is not found when the firefox extension is started (should help debian #463922). * Fixes #514252 (evo backends now explicitly reference glib-sharp) * Fixes #509487 (use LANG=C when external programs are started from any filter) * Fix build with mono 1.9 and gnome-sharp 2.20 (#514252, #518220) * Fix property change indexing (renames, moves etc.) which broke in 0.3.0 * Fix our filter matching algorithm to correctly choose filters in the right order and move to the next one if one filter fails. * Fix file leak in ebuild filter. * Clean up some tmp files which could have left behind during a corner case. * Fix a startup crash in the Pidgin backend if the Pidgin log directory is absent during beagled startup. * Check for msgfmt in ./configure before building. * Fix glib-critical warnings in libbeagle (and python bindings) when snippets with empty fragments were sent by beagled. * Fix some bugs in snippet due to which valid matches were not included in the snippets. [BUGFIX - libbeagle] * Timeout in libbeagle if connection to beagled takes more than 5 secs. This will prevent hangs in konqueror/gtkfilechooser if beagled is hanged for some reason. * Do not throw error if scheduler information and index information is empty since they can actually be empty. [TRANSLATION] * Spanish (Jorge Gonzalez) * Polish (GNOME PL Team.) * Basque (Inaki Larranaga Murgoitio) * Italian (Gianvito Cavasoli) * Japanese (Takeshi AIHANA) * Norwegian bokm?l (Kjartan Maraas) * Finnish (Ilkka Tuohela) * Catalan (Jordi Mas, Gil Forcada) * Occitan (Yannig Marchegay) * Swedish (Daniel Nylander) * Brazilian Portuguese (Igor Soares) * French (St?phane Raimbault) * British English (Philip Withnall) * Hungarian (Gabor Kelemen) Contributors to this release: Debajyoti Bera, Lukas Lipka, Kevin Kubasik, Nirbheek Chauhan and Jaikumar Singh.

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": I am told this is related to building gmime with LFS support. * 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 From gabriel.burt at gmail.com Wed Mar 26 21:43:21 2008 From: gabriel.burt at gmail.com (Gabriel Burt) Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:43:21 -0500 Subject: [Mono-announce-list] ANNOUNCE: Banshee 0.98.2 (1.0 Alpha 2) Released!
