Hi, I've just updated my Fedora 9 packages to 0.5.18, and I really feel this is a nice release : I haven't seen a single problem so far. Congratulations to the developers!
I am a little curious about the new plugins architecture, though. 1) In "Plugin Collection", I see few plugins. I'd like for instance to be able to disable the lirc plugin in order to avoid a traceback file created in /tmp for each run, but it's not listed there. How come? Because it fails on startup? (if yes, then we have a chicken and egg problem) 2) I decided to try the one and only available plugin from "Find new plugins", which is the "Ffmpeg 0.1" plugin. I was wondering how the 32bit vs. 64bit problem would be handled here, as I was trying it on an x86_64 computer... and when I looked at the egg/zip file it had downloaded, I saw it was a bunch of useless DLLs. I thought the new plugin architecture was supposed to make it easier to exclude plugins on architectures where they don't make sense... has this been thought out here? There's no point listing DLL plugins for Linux users. 3) Where did the weather plugin go? That poor plugin had been rewritten with various metar bindings, went "underground" for a long time, was just about the only "good" plugin at some point, but I've now just realized that it seems entirely gone. I really think a simple weather plugin available by default would be really useful in elisa, especially now that the configuration interface seems finalized and working. Why so little love? Believe it or not, I regularly check the weather on... my Wii. Matthias
