Very fast, very stylish, very unreasonable, very dangerous … but soooo tempting!

The weather is getting terrific these days. During the day, especially at weekends, I can hear all those superbikes rev’ing through the winding roads of the Eifel. At these moments it is very hard to resist the seduction of the two-wheeled dream above.

I went to a Ducati-dealer today. I sat on a 848. Even just standing still it felt marvelously thrilling… and the right chunk of the grey matter between my ears screamed “Do it! Do it! You bloody chicken-head, show some balls and do it!”.

This blog-entry is rather a note to myself, that the left half of my brain thinks, I’m about to make my biggest mistake ever.

You can grab the 0.9.29 release-tarball here.

The bzr-branch (rev 424) can be grabbed with:

• bzr branch lp:notify-osd/lucid

Release notes:

• notify-osd 0.9.29 is a maintainance and bug-fix release. The main issues fixed are LP: #546650 (click-through regression) and LP: #451086 (correcting rb-cover-art display).

ChangeLog:

• change the way the “empty” 1×1 pixel large input-mask is created
• fixed the masking out of the bubble on mouse-over for the non-composited desktop
• reset the stored filename (or path) of an icon, when an icon is passed via a hint
• added C-example testing updating the icon of a notification using all three possible approaches (image_path hint, image_data hint, icon-parameter)

I guess in a few hours this will be automatically available to every user of Lucid (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) via the software-center, synaptic and apt-get thanks to the magic of the MOTUs.
