I’ll be continuing development on it over there and porting changes to adium (or just setting up an svn:external property - we’ll see) to prevent any GPL contamination of the main source.  Not that it’s likely, of course, but one can’t be too careful about these things.

In addition to tons of overall improvements, this release includes the new BSD-Licensed AutoHyperlinks Framework, which offers many, many improvements over the old architecture.

I don’t know if this is required for every python/mysql install, but I know it was needed when building for MySQL 5 insalled from macports, and the system provided python libraries.

Simply fetch the patch, then apply:

patch -u -p0 -i /path/to/_mysql.c.patch

After that, make and make install as usual. That should do it!

This site needs more simple,

so here’s the simple!

(a work in progress).

Combined with some API refactoring I’m doing (AHHyperlinkScanner works much like NSScanner now), it’ll be a nice slick little framework that’s thread safe and nice to work with.

I’m planning on committing the source post Adium 1.3 branch since it plays with API elements and I don’t want any surprise regressions to hold up release, but, if you’re curious, you can get a patch to apply to Adium’s svn trunk here.

[Update:] Just a quick edit to add that this version of the framework, which is included in Adium’s svn tunk and will be released alongside Adium 1.3, will be dubbed AutoHyperlinks.framework 1.0 and added to the maccode repository.

It’s mostly recycled code from AutoHyperlinks, and for now it only supports Adium’s Trac.  However, if you find yourself working on or talking about Adium code a lot, you can find it here: Developer Links Plugin.

Eventually, it’ll have a preferences GUI so you can bind it to your own project management system - even several.  But for now, it just works for Adium.

It was a lot of work getting everything in place in order to do that, but it feels good.  I love you, Mac developers.
