Re: [Evolution-hackers] Evolution progress for 2.22
Hello Guys, With 2.21.4 out, this is the update/status-check on where we are wrt 2.22 release schedule. On Tue, 2007-12-04 at 10:41 +0530, Srinivasa Ragavan wrote: I'm hoping to get the following things for 2.22 cycle. * Exchange Smartcard support (Mostly done and GAL is still pending) * Non-Intrusive error reporting (Prototype patch is there, not started yet) The framework as well the mail-thread integration is already committed. It features a log viewer as well. Read my blog [1] for more detailed description of the feature. * Matt's new-look composer Matt has already posted his mail [2] about the status on the composer branch (I haven't compiled that yet though). We should be looking at the Phase 1 2 for 2.22, keeping Jan 28 as the target for UI Freeze. New additions: * Evolution crash detection also made it to 2.21.4. If Evolution crashes and on next start, it gives a option to hide preview panes to over come the issues of recurring-crash-on-mail-read. This can be disabled through the dialog itself. * Milan has picked Sankar's work on Message tagging (Custom labels) and made it for 2.21.4. Some more patches for this are yet to hit the trunk. But the base feature works though. Apart from these, I don't think we would be adding any new features for 2.21.x and we would be focusing more on to bug fixing, stability and performance issues only. MAPI is something that is going on in parallel. It should be available as a external rpm/plugin for 2.22/2.12 users. -Srini.

But not anymore. Anyways, I would make sure that you won't remind me anymore :) to keep up a tradition, i'd like to list those issues i've been always proposing for the last cycles: * 213072 - summary mismatch (74 duplicates, 6 in the last 30 days) If not a fix, I promise a work-around atleast. * 352287 - share weather locations with libgweather as far as possible I don't think, I would target this in 2.21.x, unless I get a patch from some one. * 233035 - support central deployment UAM should help to get this happen. Sankar, isn't it? * make evo realize that it crashed when getting restarted (mbarnes) Hmm, should be a overnight task IMO. But I think the requirements need to be frozen first. If you/mbarnes could blow it up on the wiki, it would be great. * 347471 looks like already work in progress. * 335923 - lockdown support (i hope that federico is working on this?) Blame me, I couldn't spend time with Federico at Guadec. If I would have, I might have answered you with more concrete things. Anyways, thanks for bringing it (again) :) -Srini ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

But I think the requirements need to be frozen first. If you/mbarnes could blow it up on the wiki, it would be great. The mechanism is simple: create a file on startup, delete it on shutdown. If the file is there on startup, it means we didn't shutdown cleanly last time and the various components can be notified of that. What components do with that information needs to be ironed out. The primary use case I had in mind was disabling email preview, or at least changing the selection to something safe like On This Computer. But the new --disable-preview option put this feature on the backburner. I'm not sure what, if any, action would be appropriate for Calendar or other components. Probably need to look at what kinds of things tend to cause crashes in those components and how best to avoid them at startup. With the Composer work I'm trying to get done, I'm not sure I'll have time to see this through before GNOME 2.22. If someone else wants to take it up I'd be happy to assist.

I think I will be able to do it at free time this week. The ---disable-preview was written not just for mails, but also for contacts, tasks. So this should be pretty simple to get it in. -Srini.

Thanks a lot to Prasad and Suman for the late-night sanity and tarball validation and also to our 'Patch-bot' Milan and all the other contributors for your patches. I want to say a big thanks to everyone as well, especially you Srini! Evolution has really stabilized in a big way over the last 6 months or so, and I certainly appreciate it: Evolution is the killer app that allows me to have never booted from my Windows partition at work since I shrunk it and installed Ubuntu over a year ago. Hip hip hooray! Thanks Paul. I do hope folks are still going to look at bugs: I have some pretty significant ones that don't seem to be getting much love, that I'd really appreciate some traction on: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436615 I see that this is already fixed in a different bug. I hope that we would fix the rest in some form (may be in MAPI) pretty soon. -Srini. ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
