clevercactus beta 2 r1 internal release

"Good news, everyone!"

clevercactus beta2 r1 has just been released to the cactus dev-list. Many changes and fixes for this version, and a few tantalizing clues about upcoming features (Screenshot in this earlier entry). The new dynamic tabs are in, as are the "Query Spaces" (persistent query-based spaces) and the much discussed horizontal email layout (the default is the "standard" layout though). Also: preliminary (n)echo support, OPML import/export...

Anyway, the plan is to do about a week more of testing on the release, and then go for public beta2.

Double phew! :-)

and so it begins

Wow. Yahoo! has acquired Overture. Back in february, when Google bought Pyra I speculated (not that it was terribly original of me, but anyway...) that Google and the Portals (Yahoo!, MSN, etc) were on a collision course. Certainly the Pyra deal seemed to be something that would affect Yahoo, and their purchase of overture seems to me to be a declaration that the niceties are over. Things are really going to get interesting now...
