I’m pleased to announce the release of Sup 0.10. This version is frickin’ awesome because not only do we have Ruby 1.9 support, the Xapian backend is now the default! The next version will discard Ferret like a used rag. Sup is a console-based email client for people with a lot of email. It supports tagging, very fast full-text search, automatic contact- list management, and more. If you’re the type of person who treats email as an extension of your long-term memory, Sup is for you. Get it: gem install sup Learn it: [http://sup.rubyforge.org](http://sup.rubyforge.org) Love it: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Release notes: The Xapian backend is now the default. Convert your old, crash-prone Ferret index to Xapian by running sup-convert-ferret-index. Using a Ferret backend will produce a deprecation notice, and will not be supported in 0.11. Many thanks to Rich Lane for Xapian and Ruby 1.9 work. Excitement in 0.10: - Make Xapian backend the default, and add deprecation notice to Ferret indexes. - Now Ruby 1.9 compatible (Xapian backend only). - Changes are now saved automatically to the index. Pressing “$” now just forces a flush of Xapian indexes, which can minimize quit time. - Fix problem with replying to Google G. messages. - Allow toggling of line wrap. Useful for long URLs. - Multiple attachments can be added at once by specifying a wildcard. - New command to save all attachments at once. - As always, many bugfixes and tweaks. ---

One problem - how do I change the colour scheme? - I am getting white on white for the “To:” field . . Thanks, ## Phil. Philip R.

Hi, It seems that sup is still having ncurses as dependency, but this gem doesn’t build with Ruby 1.9.1. The ncursesw seems to me more suitable (and builds with Ruby 1.9.1). Regads, ---

The next version will discard Ferret > like a used rag. I had issues installing xapian-full gem on my ubuntu box running MRI ruby1.8. The installation fails building native extension even if it seems that all the C stuff get compiled correctly. BTW, I solved the issue in this way: sudo gem install xapian-full cd /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xapian-full-1.1.3/ sudo rake build sudo mv xapian-full.gemspec …/…/specifications/ andrea@ubuntu-desktop:~$ irb irb(main):001:0\> require ‘rubygems’ =\> true irb(main):002:0\> require ‘xapian’ =\> true Thanks for this great software!

This is fixed in the very latest xapian-full gem, and I’ve published sup-10.2 to pull this in. (Plus some more minor bugfixes.) ---
