      Use tag names over sha1 hashes for the version string

      Detect if the current git head corresponds to a release tag (of the format YYYY.MM.DD) and use that as the version string over sha1 hashes.

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with uzbl that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      Right aligning elements in the status bar.

      There is no support for right aligning elements in pango markup language and there are complications in using gtkLabels to create the desired effect.

      Right aligned elements could be achieved by substituting an expansion token (or multiple) in the status bar format string with space characters until the right align region element is right aligned.

      A problem with this approach is that when the left aligned region overflows it will push the right aligned elements off the screen (we use a single line status bar in uzbl). It would then be nice for the larger region(s) to be ellipsized. The hard part is not eating pango markup tags when ellipsizing regions.

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.
