Finally, we released Sylpheed-Claws 2.5.0, with nice new features like a Bogofilter plugin, quotes folding, per-account filtering on so on…

But bad luck, the evening after the release, we learn that the Bogofilter has a bug that duplicates messages. Given it’s annoying enough, Paul does 2.5.1, and releases that this morning…

But bad luck, hours after the release, we’re advised of a crash in partial downloading. Annoying enough to warrant a 2.5.2, again.

What’s interesting is that the bogofilter bug is in since the last release candidate, got reported once, and a patch I did made us think it was fixed – whereas it was just that the reporter did not reopen the preferences (which is what triggered the bug). The partial downloading crasher, too, was in since two release candidates, and no-one reported it. It didn’t even break the feature for me. So, I’m wondering if our RC testers don’t get a bit lazy about reporting bugs, or are they just lucky ?

On a more positive note, one of Sylpheed-Claws’ shames is gone and we can now auto-complete groups.

(This is in CVS only, heh… I certainly don’t want to release .3 .4 and .5 now ? ;-)
