Software Update: FreePOPs 0.2.3

There are now several web-based e-mail services, such as Hotmail, Yahoo and AOL, where it is no longer possible to access them via your own e-mail program. It is also annoying to go to the different pages every time, log in there and keep the screen open. It would be more convenient if you could just use your own email program to receive and send email. This is where the FreePOPs program comes in handy. It starts up a locally accessible POP3 server that can handle various web-based email services. The developers have released version 0.2.3 with the following changes:

• added freepops-updater-dialog that provides a textual interface to the updater
• added freepops-updater-fltk to call freepopsd -e updater.lua fltk, a special backend that runs the graphical updater
• fixed luabox to use package.preload and require for C modules ‘statically’ linked
• added the special ‘fltk’ backend that starts the fltk gui (since there is no lua binding for fltk, the main has to be in C and calls lua funtions when needed, as the dialog frontend does, but not calling them internally since the C main is a .so the is loaded by freepops and the run() function is called, and thus all the updater lua API can be accessed directly)
• completely reorganized the updater code: updater_(cvs|php).lua are the two backends that provide the same interface, updater_common.lua provides some common helpers for both backends and the mangler for using the backends from the command line and the documentation, updater .lua is now in src/lua/ as all plugins and uses the cvs backend and provides a minimal main() that allows to call the backends from the command line and receiving their output mangled by updater_common.
