- Hi,
-
- tomorrow morning, I'll start off for a 2 weeks vacation with my beloved
- wife and daughter.
-
- During this time, I'll be unable to answer any mail (since this mail
- address is apparently in the top #1 of all spam lists, and the machine
- hosting it can't do with 100 mb's of mail, I'll temporarly shut it down).
-
- I'll also don't bring a computer. In fact, the place to which we're going
- does not even have a reachable GSM relay. *And* I'll make sure to maintain
- at least 5 kilometers distance from anything that even remotely resembles a
- Internet cafe. Yeah :)
-
- Responsibility for V will be taken over by David "Zapek" Gerber while
- I'm away.
-
- In the meantime, I've uploaded a new V alpha snapshot for your
- viewing pleasures (v_33_alpha35.lzx). It now features our not-yet-patented
- Completely Smooth Incremental Refresh technology, knows a lot more HTML
- than the previous alpha and has working forms support back in.
- Basically, it's approach usability again.
-
- It's still an alpha, so don't overwrite your production version with it.
-
- A complete list of changes since alpha24 is attached below.
-
- See you in two weeks ;)
