Hi, I just wanted to reiterate what Bera said. Unfortunately it's been a long time coming, and I had the revelation fairly recently that our meager maintenance efforts were simply not going to keep up with the positive forward progress of other projects upon which we depend, like Evolution. Adam

I also think that it is a pity that this great piece of software is going to die. Beagle has a great clean architecture, that makes it easy to understand, extend and improve.
