I've seen occasional hangs with 2.26.3 but no crashes that I can recall. I'm using KDE but in all other respects I have the same setup as you. If you get an actual crash -- Evo just disappears for example -- look at the end of /var/log/messages to see if some component had a fatal error and if so then definitely report it either to the Fedora BZ or to the Gnome one. > Has there been any progress fixing these crashes lately? Have you reported them? Don't assume the devels know that there's a problem, and don't just report it here as most devels don't read the list. > Evolution-2.26.3 is the latest from the Fedora repositories, but the > evolution web site states that 2.28.0 is now out. And will appear with Fedora 12 in a few weeks time, not before. The Fedora and Gnome releases tend to be in sync every 6 months (not counting bugfixes). poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
