I gave a look at various places to see which kind of feedback the last release got. So far, not a single crasher has been reported, nor any outstanding bug. Cool.

How about [ghostscript-viewer] for Sylpheed-Claws 1.9.x?

Paul beat me to the blog announcement. But he forgot to link to the release notes :-)
I’m quite happy about this release. I hope people will be too.
Given that I had a really hard time finding a simple example on how to use libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui, here is a little hello-world type example for it.
libgnomeprintexample-.tar.gz. (Yes, it’s quickly thrown together so there’s not even a version).
Just type ./configure && make && ./libgnomeprintexample
And let’s hope this will be useful to someone :-)
Sylpheed-Claws’ current printing system sucks hard. It works with a command, so if you want to get something nice-looking, you’ve got to elaborate something like “txt2html %s | html2ps | lpr”. Quite user-friendly. If you just use “lpr %s”, you’ll get a nice sheet of paper straight out the eighties, with wrapping in the middle [...]
The rule “when it’s really slow and shouldn’t be, the cause is really simple” verifies once again. Yesterday evening, I thought I’d fix Sylpheed-Claws’ “Select All” which was really slow. It was fast on a ~100 mails folder, took 11 seconds on a 5000 mails folder, and I killed it before it finished in a [...]
So, thanks to Darko, we’ll be getting control of the sylpheed.org domain. It’ll be hosted by my friend Yann on develog.com. I just finished transferring the webpages and databases… The rest (CVS, Mailing-lists, etc) will stay on sourceforge. So, soon enough, we’ll effectively switch servers. The only thing that’ll be visible is that http://claws.sylpheed.org/ won’t [...]
Wow, Paul has a blog :-)
Nice :-)
Also, and I was sure it would happen, 2.6.12 has been released just the week-end during which I didn’t spend a single minute on the computer. Bah, I’ll test it later.
Little side note concerning my blog: one of my coworkers told me he didn’t comment because he doesn’t feel [...]
That, since yesterday. How are my coworkers who only recently arrived in Toulouse supposed to believe me when I tell them the weather is great here?
I’m currently in the process of fixing Claws’ IMAP code, which

sucks in a more general manner, especially wrt speed
Fixing blocking is painful but simple. I chose the multithread way, look at the big functions that freeze the interface and move their work into an helper thread (while the main thread does gtk_main_iteration()s). With help from [...]
Debian Sarge is out since today.
Apple will switch to Intel processors by 2007. The marketing guys are gonna get a hard time when thinking about future ads: “Oh wait, we’re not supposed to bash Intel anymore”! I wonder if they’ll start providing mice with more than one button… ;-)
Clo and I spent the week-end in [...]
