Wow!, Now it's time for a second beta release. The changes with the previous release are:

• New translations: it (thanks to giacomomargarito) and sk (thanks to shamotj)
• A new HACKING file.

I didn't expect to have translations so fast, and I have to apology because I didn't followed the issue tracker too close (I didn't configured the alerts). I hope the new HACKING file will make life easier to anybody who wants to contribute.

Here is the link for the new tarball

Warning: This is a beta version, it may kill eat your dog and steal your wallet. If you find a bug, please report it at our bug tracker

Today I've made available for testing the 0.2_beta release of gmail-sentinel. Among the new features we have:

• Ability to see all the new messages through the notification pop-up. Now gmail-sentinel features buttons on the notification itself so you can move forward and backwards to see all messages.
• A "open" button that launches the configured browser and opens the selected messages. Your message one-click away
• Other minor things...

If everything goes ok, I'll have a RC by Monday and a final 0.2 release by next monday. There will be no new features until 0.2 release, just bug fixes.

Here is the mandatory screenshot:

I'm glad to announce the first (yet alpha) release of GoogleMail Sentinel (gmail-sentinel).

From it's homepage: "GoogleMail Sentinel is a mail notifier for Google Mail (Gmail) that creates an icon in your Taskbar and features popup alerts when there's new mail in your GoogleMail (Gmail) account".

It's not yet ready for mass consumption but it's good enough for casual testing. And if you write python and want an easy project to start coding this is a great one. Very simple, few lines of code and a helpful upstream ;)

gmail-sentinel is my first publicly released piece of code that I wrote to scratch a personal itch. Although is not the first time I write some code, it's the first time I'm managing every single aspect of the process (finding hosting, writing an entry to freshmeat, etc.)
