Blair backs nuclear power plans

On 21-Nov-2001 Melvin Hadasht submitted a Mailing list support patch for Sylpheed-Claws 0.6.5claws25 on the old, dusty, now obsolete Sylpheed Patch Page. Looking back over the mailing list archives, it appears that it received virtually no response – I don't know why.

Recently, on the freenode #sylpheed channel, cromo drew attention to that patch and asked how easy it would be to modify it to the current code. Well, it's now in CVS, version 2.2.0cvs2.

Thanks Melvin!

Sylpheed-Claws 2.2.0 was released today, along with the accompanying Extra Plugins package. There were, of course, several improvements and fixes implemented, as can be seen from the Release Notes. My particular favourite was 'Fix returned quick search results when search term contains an underscore', not the most glamourous change perhaps, but the most practical for my uses.

Releaseforge made the job easier, as usual, with the added bonus that my (simple, one-liner) patch was recently accepted, (Releaseforge version 0.9.9).

Other recent news on the Sylpheed-Claws project includes the replacement of the phpwiki version of the Claws FAQ with a MediaWiki version. This conversion was helped in part by the PHPWiki to MediaWiki online syntax converter, which got the conversion started and cut down on some of the manual editing that was necessary.

The Gnomaws theme was also updated, (the Spam/Ham icons were added), and made available from the the Themes page. This theme is the work of Aleksandar Urošević.
