As hoped last weeks release has expanded our testing and revealed several bugs that are now fixed. Only one new feature was added and the rest of the changes since the release are fixes. There have also been some site additions in the last few weeks worth mentioning, including making snapshots of SVN available for download between beta releases. I'm happy to say that even with a very modest amount of downloads the beta release combined with other project activity pushed Hastymail into the top 1% of most active projects at Sourceforge. Many thanks to those of you doing testing and submitting feedback.

We have forums again! and we have upgraded to a better open source package than the home grown solution we were using. I don't know if I can import the existing posts but will try to. You will have to sign up for an account to post, but that is just to keep spammers away (hopefully!). We also have a new site design which was long overdue since the style has not been altered since the site first launched. The mantis bug tracker has also been updated to the latest version and both it and the forums have been integrated into the new design. Thanks to my employer's generous policy of allowing software engineers one day a year to dedicate themselves to open source projects I was able to take a paid day off from work and get all these improvements in place!
