People,

Now that Frozen-Bubble 2 is essentially a thing of the past, I'm
prepared to focus a bit on maintaining Booh.

As you probably know, ruby-gtk2 0.15.0 has some severe bugs
(allocation related) preventing a proper use a Booh. I advice
everyone to use 0.14.1 or current CVS, but not 0.15.0, as a lot
of crashes will be the outcome. I have tried to make sure that
next release will not have these problems by testing and
debugging, and I am now reasonably confident that current CVS is
as stable as 0.14.1. Note that next release is expected sometimes
at the corner of new year.

On pure Booh side, no important new feature has been added nor
planned, as I think Booh is mostly mature now[1]. Current changes
in CVS compared to last release:

  * transcode first place is not reliable, use mencoder first
  * i18n: add esperanto
  * don't produce broken JS when original size is selected
  * allow simple and double quotes in made-with and index links

If you want to suggest changes, feel free to do that, we never
know :)

What is mainly disappointing for me, is the small amount of users
of Booh. Do you people have ideas why, and possibly how this
could be fixed? Of course, spamming the bins mailing-list is out
of ethics scope :)
