The hacking monkeys at Ximian are proud to announce the availability
of the Beta 3 (aka 0.13) release of Evolution.
Now is the time for Evolution to be stress-tested and bug reports to
be submitted. Remember, prizes will be awarded to those reporting the
nastiest, thorniest, and the most total bugs. To report a bug, visit
http://bugzilla.ximian.com or use the GNOME Bug Report tool, bug-buddy.
Every Thursday, between 9 A.M. and 9 P.M. Eastern Standard Time (US),
developers and users of Evolution gather to find, isolate, and destroy
bugs. To participate, open your IRC client and visit the #evobugs
channel, located on the irc.gnome.org server.
The Beta 3 release marks a significant milestone as the binary
packages for Evolution Beta 3 come bundled with LDAP support and SSL
support built in. As always, you can help make Evolution 1.0 the best
release possible by reporting any bugs you find to
http://bugzilla.ximian.com.
