Today is the second anniversary of Beagle’s release to the world, and what better way to celebrate than with a release? Beagle 0.2.6 is out.
Now that Mono 1.1.13.5 — which has the fix for the leak I previously blogged about — has been out for a while, I decided it was time to back out [...]
Good news everyone! Beagle is going to be participating in this year’s Summer of Code. Take a look at the Beagle SoC page for more information and a list of ideas. There is a wide variety to choose from: implementing a networked search infrastructure, getting involved with the nitty gritty details of Beagle’s [...]
Beagle 0.2.5 is out! This version fixes two big problems we’re seeing with 0.2.4: first, that it wouldn’t compile with Mono 1.1.14 and second, that web pages viewed with the Firefox extension couldn’t be searched. Also, there are a bunch of other bug fixes in there. 0.2.5 also has a fix for the X connection [...]
Is there a term for words which spell the same thing on your phone keypad when you’re texting? Like “have” and “gate” (4293), or “adds” and “beer” (2337)? If not, I propose calling them numeronyms or perhaps telenumeronyms.

Is the po/LINGUAS format set in stone? I ask because in SUSE we have to run gross sed scripts over all the configure.{ac,in} files to fix instances where the “no” locale hasn’t yet been switched to the “nb” locale. As the ordering and format of the ALL_LINGUAS field changes over time (usually to [...]
Ok, a follow-up to my Xlib post from yesterday.
To more accurately describe the situation, ideally what would happen when the X connection was broken is that we’d recover gracefully and continue on our merry way. How exactly we’d reconnect to X if it ever came back wasn’t something I had gotten around to thinking [...]
Is it really true that apps can’t gracefully recover from losing their connection to the X server? The XSetIOErrorHandler() man page says:
The XSetIOErrorHandler sets the fatal I/O error handler. Xlib calls the program’s supplied error handler if any sort of system call error [...]
There is a Firefox extension to let you view tooltips without them being ellipsized.
Stephan Binner has announced a 0.1 release of Kerry, a KDE frontend to Beagle. Along with Bera’s yaBi, we now have two great KDE clients. I hope that this brings even more community development to Beagle, and leads the way to tighter integration inside the KDE desktop. Kerry will be included in [...]
Beagle 0.2.4 is out. I think this release has the most contributions from outside (non-Novell) contributors than any other release, which I am thrilled about. Thanks so much to everyone who pitched in!
This release has a few nice new features, including GIF, XSLT, RPM and Gentoo Ebuild filters, big optimizations with the fallback [...]
