So, I downloaded and upgraded 1.3.92 from 1.2.4 and I have 1 question... What's the difference?????
It's the GNOME2 port
I mean other than it being incredibly slower and the fonts looking better than 1.2.4, I don't see anything. Did I not install something? I installed all the files from usr-local-bin. I assumed this would be a major upgrade....but boy was I let down. (no offense to James Ogley...this is directed at Ximian). Any insights would be great!
No offence taken :) My experience is that 1.3.92 is a big speed improvement (although my immediate comparison is with 1.3.3), and the 1.3 tree is probably only going to get faster until 1.4.0 comes out. There are no new features - it's just a straight port from GNOME1 to GNOME2. What that does mean is, on the one hand like you said, better font support. It also means better integration with the rest of the GNOME2 desktop. Some things have changed under the hood, in the 1.0.x and 1.2.x versions, each component was a separate binary, which ran as it's own process, in 1.3.x, it's a single binary with components loaded as shared library files, this is one thing that makes it nippier. What it means is that Evolution is now, once 1.4 is ready, in a position to look towards adding more features without having to worry about being based on what is now a legacy toolkit (GTK+ 1.2) and infrastructure.
