So, the holidays are over. That was nice. We walked a lot, about 3 hours a day, biked, swam, and in a more general manner, we didn’t rest very much :-)

Here are a few other photos.

I’m off for a full week of holidays. Yay! I’m just crossing fingers about the network and servers at work (please don’t break while I’m away), and also about Sylpheed-Claws 1.9.13, which Paul just released (please don’t find bugs, users).
On the other hand, I’m going there:

So, it’s very possible that I just forget about it [...]

I worked a bit on Sylpheed-Claws plugins and gpgme support !
So, to make it short, SC now sports:

gpgme-1.0 support
a new pgpcore plugin, used by both pgpmime and pgpinline
a plugin dependancy system, so that loading pgpmime loads pgpcore automatically, or spamassassin_gtk loads spamassassin. Removing a plugin also removes the ones that depend on it.

Yeah! 1.9.13 [...]

Londres
Il y a eu des attentats hier à Londres, avec un bilan de plus de 30 morts… J’hallucine! Qu’est-ce qu’ils croient résoudre par ce genre d’action ? En quoi cela peut-il aider leur cause ? Quelle cause, d’ailleurs ?… Aucune revendication claire n’a été faite !
Toutes mes pensées aux Londoniens. Je ne sais pas trop [...]

From El Reg:
The European Parliament has voted by a massive majority to reject the software patents directive, formally known as the Directive on the Patentability of Computer Implemented Inventions. The vote to scrap the bill was passed by a margin of 648 votes to 14, with 18 abstentions.
Hooray! Thanks to the FFII and everyone involved [...]

Paul pointed me to a few crashers in Sylpheed-Claws last night. Crashes happened when you unloaded some plugins, then used features these plugins extended. In the end the fixes were stupid one-liners about missing de-registration, like in mailmbox:

 void plugin_done(void)
 {
+        folder_unregister_class(mailmbox_get_class());
 }

Leaving the folder_class registered and unloading the code that handled it was, of course, condemned to bug. [...]

Oktay answered us, and he put the new DNS in place. So we now have control over the sylpheed.org domain. It is slowly going live as DNS servers notice the change…
I hope everything will go fine! Probably we’ll be able to replace http://sylpheed-claws.sf.net/ by a redirection to the new http://claws.sylpheed.org/.
If someone wants an @sylpheed.org email [...]
