Is there really any change at all in the daily snapshots? I occasionally download a newer version (like tonight) but I never seem to see anything different? Is the daily snapshot just some cron job that compiles the viewer everyday with the same code? Are there ever any differences?

When changes are committed, the snapshot will incorporate them. If no changes are made, it will just rebuild it from the same, unchanged object files in the tree. I could roll it to a weekly or monthly build, but if someone commits new code, they'd have to wait until the next build interval to test it, so I left it where it is.

This also leads me into thinking about the future of Plucker. Seeing that a lot of people think of Palm as dead what will become of our beloved offline browser /eBook reader?

If Palm is dead, Plucker still has a userbase, because thousands of users on Linux and other platforms still have Palm devices.

There are quite a few features that could be incorporated into a new Plucker version, but there isn't much interest in updating it at this point, and everyone is busy with other projects and their day jobs.

If anyone else is interested in contributing, I'm sure nobody would object, as long as the code remains clean, tight and consistent with the original project vision.
