Pan Status

I just completed round 1 of using the compiler to find bugs in my code. I've gotten article, group, and pan-signals to compile. Once I get server to compile I'll post a new snapshot.

Pan Update

Here is the latest:
  • make sure article and group objects remove their ids from the hashes when unrefed
  • split author into a seperate table
  • fixed some sql borkage (bad UPDATE bad ;) )
I just posted a new snapshot ~3MB.

Pan status update

Heyyy, I finally got some time on the net. Here are the latest updates:
  • The grouplist UI is mostly done.
  • Cleaned up some code.
  • Delayed DB update of groups and articles almost done. All it needs is the actual DB update.
  • Added a global shutdown signal for cleanup purposes.
At least I've managed to make some progress.

Pan

Pan is a GTK+ based usenet news reader for Linux and Windows. Development has been kinda slow for the past year or so. There was so talk of converting the back end to use a DB for storing the article overviews, but nothing made it into cvs. I decided a few months ago to try to do the conversion myself. Since I'm about to do some traveling I've decided to post any progress updates here.

Most of the back-end work is already done, at least I think it is. I still have UI, threading, and networking code to do. Those will probably require some changes to the code I've already written.

P.S.
The version of GTK+ that I'm using on windows can be found here.
