EoC 1.2 released (finally)

I am happy to announce that Enemies of Carlotta version 1.2 has now been
released. The source code is at http://liw.iki.fi/liw/eoc/ and the
Debian binary packages have been uploaded.

I attach the NEWS file for your amusement.

I have switched from CVS to bzr (also known as bazaar-ng) for version
control. I hope this makes it easier for others to join in the
development.

I will now concentrate on working on the 2.0 version. Any bugs in 1.2
will be fixed, of course, but any new features will have to wait for
2.0. I won't make any promises about when 2.0 happens, but given how
attention-starved I am, a good way to make it happen faster is to keep
talking to me about it. You don't even have to say it with patches.

I start too many paragraphs with I.

NEWS file for Enemies of Carlotta, a mailing list manager

Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.5 to version 1.2:

    * When the list manager sends a mail with an attached message (e.g.,
      a bounce), they are marked as "Content-disposition: inline" so that
      they are shown by default (by sensible mail user agents).

Make that 1.2.1 already.

I made a stupid error on a code path that isn't checked by "make check",
and wasn't checked by my pre-release testing on liw.iki.fi either. (I
used the method beginswith instead of startswith, and forgot the
parentheses of a method call, if you want to know the details.)

Web site and Debian upload updated.

Have to do better with unit testing for 2.0...

version control

Hello Lars,

Why don't you use mercurial? It should be significantly superior, it has
web apps, and it's in pure python too. Please consider using it, I don't
want to support yet another version control system in my build system if
there's no good reason for it ;). I'm currently stuck to version 1.1.5
in CVS head.

Thanks!

I had a look at several version control systems earlier this year,
including mercurial. I didn't make many notes, and now I can't remember
why I decided that bzr was nicer for me than mercurial, but that's what
I did, and I'm afraid I'm not going to be switching for the foreseeable
future.

I do publish a tarball of the development branch (at the same time I
publish the development branch), and of course of every release as well,
so it should not be necessary to learn or use bzr to follow or
participate in EoC development.

I'm afraid this is what the status quo is: there are dozens of version
control tools and it will take a couple of years at least until things
are shaken up enough for one or a small handful to win. I have no idea
which one will win, but in the time being, I'm happy with bzr for my own
needs.

If someone wants to set up, say, a read-only CVS server that mirrors my
bzr branch, that would be an excellent service. Something that polls my
published bzr branch every day, perhaps. There might be tools for this,
even. (If you prefer Subversion, Mercurial, or some other system over
CVS for this, hey, that's fine by me! Do all of them!)

Is it safe to upgrade from 1.0.3 to 1.2 ? I mean, there is no format
changes ?

Fine, is there a branch for the current stable branch ?
