Tinyproxy developer list membership lost

With a brown paper bag over my head, I’m sorry to announce that the Tinyproxy developer mailing list’s membership information has been lost. The list was deleted by mistake today. The list archives were backed up and these were restored to a freshly created list, but unfortunately, the list’s membership wasn’t backed up (this didn’t make the list of things to backup!). I don’t know how else to announce to all the list members that they have to re-subscribe.

Tinyproxy 1.6.4 released

Tinyproxy 1.6.4 was released recently, after a gap of nearly 4 years since the last release. It contains several bug fixes and current users are encouraged to upgrade to it.

For those who haven’t heard of Tinyproxy, it is a light-weight HTTP proxy daemon for POSIX operating systems, written with special consideration for users with low resources such as embedded applications. It can be modified easily too.

State of Transmission on Windows

I’ve been working on getting Transmission up and running on Windows. After a ton of patching, it now builds and works to an extent under Wine. There are still some bugs in the libevent and I/O code which need to be ironed out. However, I don’t have the mojo to complete it in a hurry. Debugging issues under Windows sucks. And doing things differently for Windows sucks.

On a related note, it’s easy to build a GCC cross compiler under Linux to build win32 apps. One can build GTK+ apps and make installers for them, all from the comfort and elegance of Linux. However, an up-to-date document of the process and some gotchas to help the programmer would be helpful and I’ll post a link to such a document shortly.

New Banu logo

Hylke Bons drew a new logo for Banu yesterday. I had requested him for a cuddly brown bear, and adapting Linus's words for Tux, said the bear should look contented and happy, as if it's just had a lot of honey :) Hylke replied within 2 hours with this logo image which is the sweetest bear I've ever seen. It even seems to be hiding a jar of honey behind it :) It's amazing he created it in so little time. Thank you Hylke!
