ANNOUNCE: Beagle 0.3.3

Hi,
  I am pleased to announce the release of Beagle 0.3.3. This release
fixes the autostarting of beagle-search in Gnome and includes several
new features like a Qt GUI for beagle settings, viewing current index
information in beagle-search and an lzma-compressed manpage indexer.

THE SHORT OF IT

WHAT IS BEAGLE?
---------------

Beagle is a Linux desktop-independent service which transparently and
unobtrusively indexes your data in real-time.  For example:

* Files are immediately indexed when they are created, are re-indexed
 when they are modified, and are dropped from the index upon deletion.
* E-mails are indexed upon arrival.
* IM conversations are indexed as you chat, a line at a time.
* Web pages are indexed as you view them (with a browser extension).
* Notes and address-book entries are indexed as they are created.

Beagle supports many different data sources and file formats.  For a
complete listing, visit:

heavily informed by real-world experience using PyGTK to develop
large desktop applications, and support is included for all major UI
patterns, including multiple windows and dialogs, forms, lists and
direct integration with persistent domain objects.

Hotwire 0.710 now available

Hello world,

Hotwire 0.710 is available. This is primarily a followup release to
0.700, see below for the details.  Notably for packagers this one
removes a file with a syntax error.

Special thanks in particular to Zeng.Shixin for his patient help and
patches in dealing with the non-UTF8 support in this release.

* Website: http://hotwire-shell.org
* Source Download links:
  http://hotwire-shell.googlecode.com/files/hotwire-0.700.zip
  http://hotwire-shell.googlecode.com/files/hotwire-0.700.tar.gz
* Changes: http://code.google.com/p/hotwire-shell/wiki/HotwireChanges#Changes_in_Hotwire_0.710

* What is Hotwire:
Hotwire is an object-oriented hypershell. It is a shell designed for
systems programming (files, processes), and thus it is in the same
conceptual category of software as the Unix shell+terminal and Windows
PowerShell.  The goal of the Hotwire project though is to create a
better systems programming shell than both Unix and PowerShell. We
call it a hyper-shell because Hotwire blends the concepts of a
systems-oriented shell with a modern graphical user interface display.

* Changes copy/paste from wiki:

Visible Changes:

    * Internal line processing includes newlines ( issue 111 )
    * Import ~/.bash_history (TiagoMatos)
