Older blog entries for abram (starting at number 8)

I've released a new hep tarball that fixes a bugs in the 0.1 version, where messages with long Subject lines and/or IDs would get corrupted. The new also version stores it's messages in maildir directories, which is faster and much less prone to corruption. Also, it uses a slightly different format for the ID numbers it generates for RSS newsfeeds.

This means that, if you're currently using Hep 0.1, you'll lose whatever messages are currently in your Inbox, and the first time you run this version it will re-download messages that you've already read and deleted. All your accounts will be intact, though.

Thanks to everyone who's given me feedback on Hep over the past two days!

gary e-mailed me this morning with a terrific idea, one that makes all my ideas for hep fall into place: make Hep run as an email server, handling all the backend stuff while letting people use whatever mail client they like.

Implementing this won't be hard, it will make Hep easier to maintain and it will make it instantly work in Windows and OS X. The only platform-specific bit will be the GUI configurator.

Thanks gary!

This morning I released version 0.1 of my new project: Hep. Hep is like a mail client, but it can get information from multiple sources, including Advogato!
