[Evolution] Info on 2.11.5?



Hi all;

I've been successfully using Evo SVN I built myself since ~June 22
(thanks to Reid Thompson for the info on building Evo from source!)

It works OK but I'm still finding a number of bugs, some of which I've
reported via bugzilla and some of which I haven't.  I still have to
tiptoe around Evo a little bit, especially due to these two bugs:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442098
        This one means I need to restart my Evo a lot, otherwise I can't
        read my Exchange email.  Note I've found out what appears to be
        the triggering mechanism to this bug (just yesterday!) so I
        wonder if anyone else can reproduce it?

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452653
        This one means that if I shut down evolution with the wrong
        folder selected, I can't start it again because it will dump
        core immediately.  To work around this I have to
        --force-shutdown ALL the SVN versions, then run the older 2.10.1
        version that came with my distribution, change the folder, then
        shutdown the 2.10.1 version (with --force-shutdown) and restart
        the SVN version.

There are other things I've seen, such as sometimes GAL lookup will
completely hang Evo and I'll have to force quit (major), and sometimes
the notification popup doesn't appear in the right place on the screen
(minor).

I've heard a number of Evo developers here saying that 2.11.5 is going
to solve lots of issues, so I'd kind of like to wait until that is
available, then rebuild from SVN, then I can report any bugs I find.  It
would be nice to have enough time after 2.11.5 is released to really
test it before 2.12 (Gnome 2.20) is released.

So... any thoughts about when the commits for 2.11.5 can be expected?


Cheers!
