update

Regular emacs-fu programming will resume shortly, but for now I'll provide a
brief update on some of my projects.

• Recently, I discussed sauron, and event-tracking tool for emacs. I added
  some new features, fixed some bugs, and got some contributions (yay!)
  
  
  
  
  • tweak/improve priority handling
    
  
  
  • add a backend for the emacs-24 notification system
    
  
  
  • add settings to make the sauron frame 'sticky', and to hide the mode-line
    
  
  
  • enable dbus-message source outside your session; useful for cron/procmail
    etc.
    
  
  
  • display events in a tabular fashion
    
  
  
  • add support for John Wiegley's event.el
    
  
  
  • much improved documentation
    
  
  
  • other things…
    
    
  
  
  
  
  

  Sauron version 0.2 is available through Marmalade (see Package Management Revisited)
  

  
  


• I released version 0.9.8 of mu (e-mail searcher/indexer, previously
  discussed in Searching e-mails with Wanderlust and mu). Now, for emacs-users
  I've added mu4e (manual), a new & experimental e-mail client. It won't be
  big and professional like gnus, but it's fun to hack on, and I've been
  using it for a few months.
