Sup version 2 features: - a client/server model that works over HTTP, allowing a) development of other clients, e.g. web-based and phone-based b) simultaneous access from multiple clients c) IMAP emulation, aka no more lock-in! - an improved console-based client Heliotrope, the server component, is close to ready for a version 1 release. You can find it at https://github.com/wmorgan/heliotrope/. The client, which I'm calling Turnsole, is coming along swimmingly. I hope to release a pre-alpha some-stuff-actually-works version within the next few days. Much of the UI code has been borrowed from Sup, but the internals are quite different: - it's event-based, rather than thread-based, which streamlines a lot of the code and avoids a whole big class of bugs. - all the index and email threading code is ripped out - most of the email parsing code is gone - it handles Ruby 1.9 string encoding stuff correctly, rather than having random checks scattered around I think you're going to like it, since: - the threads are pre-computed on the server side, so it's much, much faster - you can finally view attachments locally! Stay tuned for more. We're still a ways off before it's a drop-in replacement, but I'm excited about how everything is coming together. -- William _______________________________________________ Sup-devel mailing list Sup-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-devel
