Apparently "what it would take" to get Evo 3.6 in Ubuntu is upgrading to the very recent "Quantal" (that's 12.10 if you prefer meaningful numbers) release : http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=evolution Whether & when you should do so is up to you. I usually wait for 2 months after release, because I'm an optimist (otherwise I'd never upgrade) and a realist (new Ubuntu versions _always_ have bugs - e.g. the upgrade to 12.04, for my non-Unity gnome-classic desktop, broke alt-tab, broke printing, broke my monitor orientation, broke workplace switching, and hid the volume applet - all of which were fixable, but the time & effort required to do so was a PITA). But I've never had an Evolution-related problem from upgrading. So whilst faster loading of remote images from Evo 3.6 would be very welcome, you need to weigh up whether the know gain of that exceeds the unknown pain of fixing the non-Evo related breakage you may encounter. -- All the best, Nick. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
