We hope we can reactivate columba now a little bit with the brand new media wiki site and this blog.
Today we got a big patch from Timsparg. He has changed our test cases to junit 4.5 for ristretto.  Looks very nice and we hope we can fix some [...]

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Posted about 1 year ago by fdietz

I've been working or better playing around with Columba the better half of my student years. Especially the latest release was quite difficult to manage. RL (aka real life) kept me quite busy and is also the reason why I now finally decided to ... [More] stop developing on Columba.

 I had so much fun meeting and working with all different kinds of people from throughout the world. Thank you all for your support!  

It was not quite the ride we planned. Thinking about it - we never really planned anything ;-) But, that's probably the reason why it was so much fun!

Registered columba on ohloh.net

Posted over 2 years ago by waffel

In the last days I have registered columba on ohloh .

It would be nice if any developer can register itself on ohloh to see on the nice google-map where the developers staying ;-)

It is also very interesting that the cost of columba is currently over 1,7 million of dollars.

Announcing Columba v1.4 “Barbwire”

Posted over 2 years ago by fdietz

Shortly after we released Columba Mail v1.2 “Flying Saucer”, one of the regulars on the Developers mailing list observed that it didn’t really look very good on a Macintosh. Since our developers all used Windows / Linux we all looked confused ... [More] and asked why not? That was the start of a steep learning curve for some of the developers and two of us investing in some very nice Apple hardware!

This release is the first part of our plan to address making Columba as useful to Mac users as it is to everyone else! In addition to making it more visually pleasing, we have also squashed about 50 bugs and added some features to make it more useful for people on the run! Firstly, we have added to its previous command line scripting capabilities, we have added command line selectable user profiles and made it so that you can now carry your entire cross platform capable Columba mail program and its message base on a USB memory stick! Columba is more than happy to act as an online or offline mail client and to be used anywhere you have access to a Java JRE platform (put the installers on your memory stick or use Java Webstart!).

We finally have Jira up and running again. This is BTW a good opportunity to thank the guys over at Atlassian for supporting us! Our build server is up and running again, too.

Still, the wiki is not running currently. We'll keep you posted!
