Hi Evolution hackers,
as some of you probably know, I'm continuing with work on new Evolution
composer based on WebKit (WebKit1) and I want to share with you the
current status and the future of new composer.

Right now, the composer takes place in wip/webkit-composer branch in
Evolution git repository [0]. For compiling it you need just the
evolution-data-server from master.

What the composer really needs right now is testing. It needs a lots of
testing. The currently opened bugs against WebKit based composer can be
found in [1]. If you will open a new bug against new composer (and I
really hope you will) please prefix its summary with [webkit-composer].
In the
time of creation of this mail (03/16/2014) the new composer lacks the
support for Undo and Redo and broken plain text part in
multipart/alternative when sending HTML mail (working on this right
now). These are the major issues that we know about and if there are
more issues I really hope that you will help me hunting them. One tip
for spotting bugs, if you will see red star somewhere in composer and
you will be able to reproduce process to show it in the composer please
report it as something went wrong during save and restore of the caret
position.

Regarding the future of WebKit based Evolution composer I'm proposing
this: merge webkit-composer branch into master when the 3.12 release
will be branched and continue to work on it in master branch. This will
hopefully bring more testers for the new composer. When the code will be
in master I will continue to develop it and also porting it to WebKit2
with the rest of Evolution.

Thank you

Tom
