ANNOUNCE: development balsa-2.1.0 released

[Pawel Salek <pawsa theochem kth se>]

Hello,

Balsa team would like to officially announce balsa-2.1.0 release
available at http://balsa.gnome.org/

This is a release addressed to developers and beta-testers. It includes  
completely new mailbox backend: libmutt is out, Gmime is in. This has a  
number of adventages (further development should be much easier, and IMAP  
support should be mostly superior particularly on low-bandwidth links)  
but also disadvantages - the code needs some real-life usage.

You can get balsa-2.1.0 directly from
http://balsa.gnome.org/balsa-2.1.0.tar.bz2
http://balsa.gnome.org/balsa-2.1.0-1.src.rpm
http://balsa.gnome.org/balsa-2.1.0-1.i386.rpm (built on RH9)

The src.rpm file includes gmime and is ready for immediate building.  
Building from tarball requires earlier installation of gmime library.  
Gmime library is available from  
http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/ or directly from http://balsa.gnome.org/gmime-2.1.1.tar.bz2

Know problems include:
- unread message counters are not updated correctly.
- no SSL imap support.
- no working IMAP searching support.

Report the bugs (preferably together with patches!) either on the mailing  
list or to Bugzilla,
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

Happy mailing!

On behalf of balsa team,

Pawel Salek
