pre-release of Virtual Identity 0.4.3

Posted by on 25 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: ... ? ... , hacking , virtual id

Once again some days passed by, but a lot of things happened, so can not say I was completely lazy ;) But it was time to come back to the Virtual Identity extension and repair some bugs and add some options to make all of us more happy these days. The result is the new version 0.4.3, Which is by now available as a pre-release testing and release cause some translation-work has to be done before the 'real'.

Whats new?

  • added a new option to dynamically switch on / off an email signature if using a virtual identity. To use this option you have to install the switch Signature Extension . Thanks to Alex for the idea and thanks to Achim Seufert for the nice extension which i could use for this feature.
  • added a feature called 'Smart Time Stamp' which simply changes the address of any new email you are going to compose by adding a epoch-timestamp in the name. This way you can use a unique address for any message you send and check where your mail addresses go. Thanks to Jens Martin for the idea.
  • added an option to warn you if the mail should be sended with any stored (unchanged) identity. Valdaran had the bright idea to the From: field , Which is not really an option, to many other things are relying on this. But maybe a warning will do nearly the same nice job? Thanks to Valdaran for the idea.
  • removed some old bugs, added some fresh ones ;) Thanks to all who reported their problems.

The new version is now available for testing . Feel free to use it and report bugs and problems or help to translate the extension .

German freedom

cimg0067.jpg yeah, thats Germany. The way I hate it. Since a fascist shop and meeting place nearby opened one week ago, the local people are protesting against this place. In different ways, as different as people are, but with the same attitude: to close down this shop (see [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] ).

Yesterday there was a spontaneous protest, I ended in custody for just being there (oh yes, it's legal to formally take part in a spontaneous protest, but who cares) (see [1] [2] [3] and do not believe the media). And this night I was on my way home searched by police some guys and they Described me an 'exclusion zone' near my own home where I'm not allowed to go in. Great. Ever new what freedom meant in German.

cimg0083.jpg Yes, this is Germany. Just as I hate it. Since a Nazi store here opened in the area, local residents protested against this store. In different ways, just how different the people are just, but all with the same goal: to make this shop closed (see [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] ).

Yesterday was ne spontaneous demonstration against the store, I ended up in custody only because I was there (of course, is legal ne spontaneous demonstration, but here it certainly does not) (see [1] [2] [3] and can not believe the media). And now I'm on the way home NEN get sent off, I should not even have to move into my neighborhood as I want. Super. Knew what freedom means always in Germany.
