Hi folks,

I don't use the sourceforge forums at ALL. If you find a bug, have a question, or wish to submit a patch, use bbdb-submit-bug-report or mail directly to bbdb-info. The former gives vital information about your setup that may help myself or others solve your problem immediately, rather than having to extract further information from you.

I realise I've not made a release in a while; life is a little hectic at present but will hopefully be calming down in a month or two and I'll try and pack up the latest CVS then.... read more

BBDB 2.34 has been released. Here's the detail:

BBDB-2.34 is out. I've updated http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/ with the
new release, and also tagged CVS, and I'm updating the waider.ie
mirror right now.

In this release:
* Much display handling rewriting, courtesy of Alex Schroeder and
Robert Fenk. It's so good, I've not even figured it out myself yet.
* The build is slightly more sane, so that ./configure with no options

Well, it was released on March 4. I forgot to add a news item about it.

First release of BBDB in two years! Details on our page at
http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/

The BBDB web page at http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/ is now kept in the html directory of the CVS tree. Developers may make adjustments to the pages, but they're not automatically flushed to the website. Well, yet, anyway. The SourceForge logo at the page end is required by the SourceForge guys, before you ask.

Matt Simmons' last version of BBDB, 2.00.06, has been added to the "release files" section of the BBDB project. This is to allow folk to grab the tarball without having to play with CVS.

CVS and mailing lists for BBDB are now live.

The SourceForge setup for BBDB is almost ready to go live. CVS is in place (i.e. you can do anonymous checkouts) and I'm working on getting everything else in order by Monday evening.

Waider.
