my eyesight is failing

18 March 2006

Doing my Wordpress upgrade, I noticed that there was a trackback that had been sitting in my moderation queue for almost a month. Apparently I lack vision. But really it’s more that I simply lack the will to do anything about it. I am a lazy, lazy man.  The good news is [...]

Yesterday I released Beagle 0.2.2. You can get it from the Beagle wiki. Make sure you get the 0.2.2.1 tarball; the original 0.2.2 release was a little broken on some 64-bit machines. Lots and lots of bugs have been fixed; this is our best release yet.
