Hello all,

Ahead of EmacsConf2020 we are now in the release candidate stage for
version 2.0.0!

This second release candidate adds support for variable truncation of
long syndicate names, preserving a more consistent UX/UI. This also
fixes numerous problems with the webring/planet on iOS/Webkit-based
browsers. Additionally, autoloading has been implemented and testing.

The first release candidate added support for subtle CSS color
transitions on hover, granular post pinning (on the webring) and
filtering (on both the webring and the planet), and strict support for
RFC 2822 on date-time encoding (with better error messages).

Please consider testing this release, as every person testing and
reporting helps add to the success of this utility being demonstrated

Confirmed, and 1 is an odd issue but not a bug. Thanks!

Hi Sergiu,

Thank you for the patch. I have applied it to master, with some
revisions. There are a few things that need attention before I can
consider pinning "stable".

1. I tried using
http://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/childhurds-and-substitutes/ as a pinned
URL. This did not work. I did not test if this is an ATOM-wide issue, or
if this is a Guix blog issue.

2. Somewhere along the line, <nil/> is getting inserted into the
non-pinned articles which is messing up the styling of those items. You
can check https://brettgilio.com/ for an example of this.

Dear all,

Awhile ago I submitted a proposal to give a lightning (~10 minute) talk
for EmacsConf2020, focusing around org-webring. I wanted to let you all
know that this proposal has been accepted! If you have any suggestions
for imperative things that should be touched on in the talk, please
let me know. Credit to all contributors will be given at the conclusion
of my presentation.

I will follow up to this email in a few days with my proposed outline.

The big thing I would really like to get accomplished before the talk is
pinning entries. If anybody wants to assist with this, please reach out.

GNU Guix now provides Version 1.9 of org-webring. Thanks!

Looks to be free software. Thanks for sharing. Do you know if it has DRM
support available? I would like it if it DOES NOT.

Thanks

It was some years ago, but I remember enjoying qutebrowser. I can't
recall if I mentioned Nyxt which is written in Common Lisp (and is
extensible as in Emacs) https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt

I am going to refer you back to Amin Bandali, here. He is one of the
maintainers of GNU IceCat and the Gnuzilla suite of tools. You might
also consider joining the mailing lists here [0], introduce yourself and
ask what the status is :).

Best wishes,
