The Subversion trunk is getting hot today. Because one of the longest required functionality is ready for testing now — full ALTER TABLE is working there.
And one more important fix follows: some Sqliteman-1.0.1 rpm packages for Fedora Core contains a installation bug which prevents displaying of icons, help files and translations. It’s fixed now. The glory and six Tuborg beers go to Eugene Pivnev.
That’s the way I like worldwide cooperation.
Now back to the trunk. Maybe it doesn’t sound interesting to you… You should know then than Sqlite3 doesn’t support dropping columns from the existing table. And it could be done easily in Sqliteman directly. There are various operations hidden under one click in the GUI — creating temporary table, insert-selecting, data moving, indexes and triggers recreation.

After weeks of using OpenSuse 10.3 on various machines I can say only one sentence: “this is The Distribution!”
It’s working without any issues (yet). It’s simple and easy to use for me (the simple and easy man). It’s fast — for example it boots quicker than I can prepare my regular breakfast (open the pot with curd-creme).

Now it’s done. Finally. The most irritating bug I had assigned in the Scribus Bugtracker. It was all about Drag and Drop handling in the “Insert Glyph” palette.
I did it with the simplest solution. After weeks of insane spaghetti-improvements of old Qt3 based code I throw it all away with the rewritting plans on my mind. And it’s done. Less code. More readability (propably). Diving into Qt4 ocean deeps is simpler again.
OK, it’s not a cure for cancer or whatever but Scribus 1.3.5 is more closely every day.

when TOra builds and links against Oracle. No crashes at start, it connects and performs basic tasks. And now to the sad issues – it’s far from being usable. See screenshot:

WTF are three pages of this sick code for?!
IF col1 IS NULL THEN
col1 := '';
END IF;
I hate this job sometimes…

Yes! And it’s working! No more MinGW…
Ok, Ok, MinGW does its job, but it’s one of the “next dependency you have to install”. And MSVC should work better in MS system. It’s clear it contains two identical characters in name (and it’s The Proof).
Well, the Qt msvc generator is only included in the 4.3.2 daily snapshots, but I’m playing with it and I like it. Damn, the apps are faster with it on Windows.
