Hi Henrik,

I have been part of this list for quite a while now and have seen many
features discussed and suggested in that time. Some of them are great
features but since I run this at work to monitor about 6 organizations, I
cannot take advantage of these new features until a new stable version is
released.

Do you know approx. when the next stable version will be released?

Thanks again for the great product!

Geoff

Unfortunately, the answer is "no".

My best guess right now is for late Spring / early Summer, but I've
been wrong before.

Are there &keywords to access the other hobbit icons in reports ?  I
know &red will provide the red.gif.  But is there a & keyword that I can
get the red-recent.gif  or red-ack.gif icons ?

No, but this patch should do it. Applies to 4.2.0 and current snapshots.
You can then use "&red-ack bla bla" or "&red-recent bla bla" in your
status messages.

Thank you very much. This was needed for the migration to Hobbit project
I am working on. Normally migrating to Hobbit is cake (thank you for
that). My biggest hurdle is converting over all the customization and
special tests that were created using BigBrother. 
The keyword for ack icons is &red-acked not red-ack, not sure if you
meant this. &red-recent seems to just reference the red.gif, not the
red-recent.gif. Presently I do not need to access the -recent gifs, but
I figured I would let you know.

Speaking of Icons, I have created a new set of status icons. These icons
fit a corporate environment a little better.  I really don't understand
it, but some Execs do not find colorized faces humurous. My goal was to
create something that is simple, clean, good looking, and to not just
rely on color but different shapes for those color blind people. I have
also made all the -recent icons animate, to catch attention when
statuses have recently change (the amination is to pulse).

So if any are interested.. I am happy to share. It is still a work in
progress, I just redid the checkmark icons this morning. If you like,
this can be put up on the shire too.

Thanks, yes the "red-acked" is indeed what it should be. My mail went
out a bit fast this morning.

The "recent" gifs apparently depend on a particular option being set
which is currently only manipulated by the bbgen utility, so it doesn't
kick in for the CGI utilities that show the status logs. I'll find some
way of tweaking that, e.g. is you reference the "abc-recent" icon then
it will make it work.

Please send them to me, and I'll include them with the Hobbit distro.
The current set of images were picked for one simple reason: I wanted
something that I could distribute without fear of copyright
infringement, and the current set of images were GPL released. So if
you're willing to make your icons available under GPL or some other OSS
license, that would be very welcome.

Henrik and Shire Mailing List where sent attachments of the icon set so
far. I haven't heard anything, so guessing email got lost in Spam
buckets. Just figured I would send out an FYI that they were emailed on
Friday.
