I decided to do another Tinymail pre release. I haven’t yet run out of numbers, so this is pre-release v0.0.4.
Now that TMut is more or less (basic) feature complete, I’m thinking about doing a TMut 1.0.0 too. I don’t know when Modest will be released but I do think it’s almost the time of the Tny E-mail clients. If not Modest then I’ll make a few other E-mail client flavours … like TMut.
There are (probably) still small problems here and there in Tinymail. Mostly the kind of problems that can only be found by putting the code in the hands of users. There have been two or three API changes so the Python bindings are not synchronized (Python developers who started using Tinymail might want to stick with pre-release 0.0.3 until this is fixed).
Oh. I was taking a look at QAbstractItemModel recently. I think it’s doable to make a TnyList that also implements QAbstractItemModel in C++. Having convenient models for views like GtkComboBox and GtkTreeView is more or less what most of libtinymailui-gtk is about. Doing the same thing for QTreeView and QComboBox sounds like a doable idea to me.
I also identified all uses of the GMainLoop in Tinymail. I can easily abstract that (although I know the people at Qt are interested in having GMainLoop integration too).
If you want me to make Tinymail as easy to use with Qt as with Gtk+, fund me and I will :-). Technically it’s perfectly possible and not really hard.
