Yesterday saw the release of Sylpheed-Claws 1.9.13, among the highlights were support for GPGME 1.x, which was not too soon, further IMAP improvements, thanks to Hoà's libEtPan!, optional extended printing support, using libgnomeprint2, and, probably of most use for me personally, (cutting down on build minutes), the PGP/Inline plugin was brought into the main source tree, (previously it was one of the External Plugins).

The release process went along nice and quickly once the notes and packages were created, thanks to ReleaseForge, which allowed me to create the release and submit the SF news item in what seemed at least half the time it would have taken using SF's laborious FRS , just beating release day SF downtime by a matter of minutes.

The SF downtime did bite, however, during the Freshmeat announcement submission as Freshmeat failed to verify, first, the ChangeLog url and then the CVS tree url. After a few hours of staying away it was fine, of course.

ReleaseForge's freshmeat announcement support failed again with the message, "Unable to login to Freshmeat. Please verify your username and password". I'm quite sure, though, that this has nothing to do with names or passwords, and that the real problem stems from the fact that there is no project on Freshmeat called 'Sylpheed-Claws', as Sylpheed-Claws, (on Freshmeat), is a branch of the Sylpheed Freshmeat project, and that is more than ReleaseForge can cope with. However, I don't want to do ReleaseForge down, as its support for the SF FRS is surely every SF project admin's dream.
