Are there any other user-noticeable changes? Currently evolution maintains its own timezone files. For every change in the zonefino, we would need to update the timezone's maintained. Now with the system timezone integration, we pickup the timezones from the system, this update from evolution is not required. Evolution would pick the latest timezone's from the system. There are no user-noticeable changes. - Chenthill. ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

Only the first time the user selects "Insert Face" he will be prompted for an image. On subsequent times, the old selected image itself is used. However, I accept that it is not so user-friendly at the moment. So I am okay to not mention it in the release-notes. > > > Matthew: > > I was not aware of the ~/.face thing.

Is the whole thing new, or is just part of this new? Murray, the plugin was there for sometime but it had nothing useful and was never built. We have revamped it with UI hooks and better options to make it work and added it in the build. It is as much as new :) -Srini. > ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
