the Beta 5 (aka 0.15) release of Evolution.
The time is drawing near for the 1.0 release. This means that time is
almost up to stress-test and report bugs for Ximian Evolution. Prizes
will still be awarded to those reporting the nastiest, thorniest, and
the most total bugs. To report a bug, please 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. Just like with Beta 4, Beta 5 binaries features LDAP, PalmOS, and SSL built-in support. Solaris packages will not be released with Beta 5; please stay tuned for Beta 6.
