Hi Evolution hackers, as some of you probably know, I'm continuing with work on new Evolution composer based on WebKit (WebKit1) and I want to share with you the current status and the future of new composer.
Right now, the composer takes place in wip/webkit-composer branch in Evolution git repository [0]. For compiling it you need just the evolution-data-server from master. What the composer really needs right now is testing. It needs a lots of testing. The currently opened bugs against WebKit based composer can be found in [1]. If you will open a new bug against new composer (and I really hope you will) please prefix its summary with [webkit-composer]. In the time of creation of this mail (03/16/2014) the new composer lacks the support for Undo and Redo and broken plain text part in multipart/alternative when sending HTML mail (working on this right now). These are the major issues that we know about and if there are more issues I really hope that you will help me hunting them. One tip for spotting bugs, if you will see red star somewhere in composer and you will be able to reproduce process to show it in the composer please report it as something went wrong during save and restore of the caret position. Regarding the future of WebKit based Evolution composer I'm proposing this: merge webkit-composer branch into master when the 3.12 release will be branched and continue to work on it in master branch. This will hopefully bring more testers for the new composer. When the code will be in master I will continue to develop it and also porting it to WebKit2 with the rest of Evolution.
