Re: [Evolution] new oaf problem ?

[Alec Peden <pezking jaded org>]

Evolution snapshots are not meant to be used my end-users. The preview
releases arent even targeted towards end-users. If you want a "smoother
upgrade path", I'd suggest waiting til 1.0 is completed. Evolution is
based on RAPIDLY changing libs that  wont be apart of GNOME til 1.4
which is over a month away. Evolution has a disclaimer everytime you
open it up for a reason.
