Hi All, The Evolution Team is pleased to announce the release of Evolution 2.9.2. What is New ? = This release does not have any new major features yet but includes plenty of bug fixes since the 2.8.[0 1] releases. Also, there is no new release on the evolution-exchange module as we have had no changes since the 2.8.1 release. You can download the following : http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/gtkhtml/3.13/gtkhtml-3.13.2.tar.bz2 http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/evolution-data-server/1.9/evolution-data-server-1.9.2.tar.bz2 http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/evolution/2.9/evolution-2.9.2.tar.bz2 Upgrade Notes : Evolution 2.9 is the unstable series of 2.10 development. Reporting Bugs If you have problems with 2.9.2, please take the time to submit the bug using Bug Buddy or at http://bugzilla.gnome.org. Try to fill in as much detail as you can regarding the circumstances that lead to the problem. If you have a feature request, you can also file that at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ don't be discouraged if you don't hear from us right away, we get hundreds of feature requests a year. You can also check if your bug has been reported before by using the search functionality of Bugzilla.

Interesting. Do you remember which branch supported this? Always interesting to PEEK at the code of you guys before trying to reimplement it myself. ;-) My plan is to detect whether or not the IMAP service will correctly return me a partial message, and simply refetch the entire message when a first non-body mime-part is requested by the user. After that one, I might try an implementation that glues already retrieved mime-parts together to recreate the original message (to reduce bandwidth usage). Anyway, it's a post-januari prioritised item on my to do list. Nevertheless it's one of the things that are flagged as important (for tinymail) ;-) The idea here is that some people receive messages that are > 3 MB (with MP3's and stuff like that). Viewing the body of such messages should be possible on a mobile device. Storing the attachment too, but only if the user really requests it (on the device). ps. I of course understand that Evolution has/had a different scope (desktop users with plenty of memory and disk-space). So I agree that it was the best decision to make (to remove the support for partial retrieving). -- Philip Van Hoof, software developer at x-tend home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org work: vanhoof at x-tend dot be http://www.pvanhoof.be - http://www.x-tend.be ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
Re: [Evolution-hackers] A plugin for remove attachments.
Evolution used to do this, but some IMAP server products don't parse MIME properly and so if you trust their BODY/BODYSTRUCTURE responses, you'll end up with a broken message if you later try to piece the parts together (you'll note that at one point we had a workaround for Courier IMAP until we just decided it was too much effort and just went with full body downloads all the time like the other widely used IMAP clients).

I suppose, the problem is that the GStringChunk API is kind of lacking so retrofitting a better implementation into the same API might be difficult. > If a patch > comes with "and this is why it's a vast improvement", it will probably > get accepted. No doubt... one could "easily" improve GStringChunk significantly just by keeping track of how much free space remains in each block. The thing is that even with that approach, you can still end up wasting a lot of space if the most string lengths are just slightly larger than half the size of each block size... and if you choose a block size shorter than the typical length, then you are simply degenerating into g_strduping each string AND still getting penalised by tracking overhead. > > Ross -- Jeffrey Stedfast Desktop Hacker - Novell, Inc.

I'm going to implement this (for tinymail) sooner or later. But if you are interested in this, let me know. For IMAP, check out RFC 3501, page 58 section 6.4.5. For example "FETCH uid (BODY [1])" and BODY.PEEK. For POP I still have to read the RFCs a little bit first. I was planning to mark such messages and add some infrastructure around the feature, so that it would be possible to retrieve the remainder (the non body part) when it's needed by the E-mail client (lazily). -- Philip Van Hoof, software developer home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org work: vanhoof at x-tend dot be blog: http://pvanhoof.be/blog ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
[Evolution-hackers] UI improvements wiki
Hello everybody! Please check out my wiki entry on how the Evolution UI could be enhanced. It's been requested Evolution be replaced with Thunderbird in the next Ubuntu release due to its alleged "user-unfriendliness". Read it all in the entry. I hope on a lively debate! http://www.go-evolution.org/User_Interface Dennis ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
