  Finally: New Genesis Release

  Posted: June 15, 2008, 9:46pm CEST

  It has taken its time. But now Genesis 0.3 a.k.a. "Let there be Light" is released.
  
  Highlights are the long awaited fix for the changed API in python-evolution, and support for Autostart and syncing in fixed intervals.
  
  The part that took me the longes time, though, was an appropriate install script. I decided that I would drop a patch (after already having integrated it) from a user which added an autotools based install system. I just didn't have enough of a clue about autotools to really maintain this. So I went back to my original plan to write a distutils based install script.
  
  Much inspiration was taken from the Jokosher setup,py script. I also have how a basis to eventually add a debian package for Genesis. I'll see if I can figure out how those things work.
