I heard that a new version of Evolution is coming out this Monday, December 12.
yes, it will be the experimental version 2.5.3.
It will be a developer/unstable version. I hear that this version will clear up a lot of bugs from the current version.
who says that? and who says that there won't be more new bugs introduced than old ones fixed? ;-)
How do I upgrade to this upcoming version? I'm a Ubuntu breezy user. If you can help, please provide step-by-step instuctions, easy enough for a newbie to understand.
ubuntu packages are only provided by the distribution maintainers themselves, but not by the gnome or evolution folks. i guess you need to switch to ubuntu dapper and ask them to check out evolution 2.5.3. of course you can also (and always) compile from source, but i don't think that this is an easy way for a newbie - it also took me quite some time before i succeeded in compiling non-trivial applications on my own. don't get me wrong, i don't want to say "do not use 2.5.3", i just want to stress that unstable versions are experimental. nearly everything can happen, you can lose data or have new crashes or freezes where you would have never expected them before. one should really reflect on if it's worth to use an unstable version instead of a stable version. the stable versions also do fix a lot of bugs. to which bugs exactly do you refer to? what is it that makes you unhappy? :-) cheers, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de
