This is a good news: Ukraine court annuls poll result!

Yup, socks.c should be now fixed. I was thinking about removing it in a future and use only an external SOCKS library, but (uhm) can't find any with a proper project's home page and being completely free (GPL/LGPL). Am I googling wrong? For instance, Fetchmail supports some SOCKS libraries, but doesn't say anything about their source.

Huh, this is a pretty smart and fresh idea: Google Suggest.

No matter how perfect things are made to appear, Murphy's law will take effect and screw it up.

Oh well, it is likely that we'll have to postpone the 4.0 release, because of the serious problems with GNU SASL library 0.2.x. The API has changed heavily, and I can't remember so buggy software in a long time! Current version 0.2.2 doesn't work with Anubis, both while using an old API and while using the new. Fortunately, Sergey hacked it and found the bugs, so Simon should be informed tomorrow. Today I also updated GNU Bison 1.875e translation, but the TP-Robot's gone crazy and refused to cooperate. Bad luck today, sigh.

GNU Anubis 4.0 is out!!

Finally, after two years of development process, we released a milestone version, 4.0. Here is the official annoucement, and here is a quick summary of the major changes:

• The new authentication and authorization mode has been introduced, which does not require client machines to run an AUTH server (identd). It uses standard SMTP AUTH capability.
• User's database can be kept on the server machine in any of the following formats: plain text, GDBM, MySQL, PostgreSQL.
• The program is now extensible via Guile.
• Configuration file grammar has been heavily improved. It features several new syntactical entities, allows nesting of conditional statements to arbitrary depth, and is easily extended using Guile.
• Added test suite (make check).

So, I have switched my home system to Fedora Core 3. The migration took about one week and partly still continues as there are so many things to configure. I like the combination of the Linux kernel 2.6, udev, HAL, D-BUS, and GNOME 2.8. Now, when I plug my camera into the USB port, the system just asks me if I want to import the photos. This is so obvious, but still very cool :).
