Re: What I've been working on

Hi folks,

Ben, did you write these notes for archeologists ?

I even tried to save the output window as .spv but I think I was too optimistic 
on that one :-) 

There is the waiting problem on debian that python2 will phase out some time in 
the future - so that alone is a reason for a new release and I also think that 
many new things and bugfixes made it into master. I have two things that I have 
not on the bugtracker which I would like to upload before a release.

I have done some things towards correct integration in the desktop namely the 
mime types and desktop file. I am currently working on the icons setup such 
that they are not blurred and that maybe the correct find icon is shown. The 
other thing is that I want to add some more accurate help_pages entries in .ui 
files such that not the main help page is shown.

The yelp system is still broken three years after the bug report from John. We 
could make html the default also for systems with yelp - what do you think?

Best regards

Fritz
