2024-04-04README: update with extra disclaimer HEAD master
Covering my ass from draconian legislation.
2021-11-30doc: update with IMAP(S) URLs and improve descriptions
Our server on yhbt.net runs an IMAP(S) which is accessible over Tor, too. We no longer advertise a "mailing list" since the subscriber info is centralized and not easily reproducible by third-parties. Thus we focus on making our archives easily mirror-able via IMAP(S), NNTP(S) and HTTP(S).
2021-05-25doc: use Tor v3 .onion URLs
Tor is dropping v2 .onion in favor of more secure (but less readable) v3 .onion URLs. Zooko's triangle once again :/ (no, we won't support planet-destroying proof-of-work schemes)
2020-01-06replace bogomips.org with yhbt.net
The expiration for bogomips.org is coming up and I'm not keen on paying or supporting extortionists. Not wanting to be beholden to ICANN or any powerful organizations, .onion sites are available to Tor users: http://raindrops.ou63pmih66umazou.onion/ http://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/raindrops.git/ http://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/raindrops-public/ (the demo is not yet available via .onion, yet, could be a bit)
2017-03-20doc: remove private email support address
Email was never private, and won't further burden myself or any future maintainers with trying to maintain someone elses' privacy. Offering private support is also unfair to readers on public lists who may get a watered down or improperly translated summary (if at all). Instead, encourage the use of anonymity tools and scrubbing of sensitive information when the sender deems necessary.
2016-07-29use HTTPS and move homepage to https://bogomips.org/raindrops/
While raindrops.bogomips.org exists, having extra subjectAltName entries is bloating the certificate. This will make it easier to mirror the homepage on Tor hidden services.
2016-02-24README: remove indentation from URLs in RDoc
RDoc considers indented text to be preformatted and will not generate links in HTML links for them.
2016-02-24doc: update URLs and references
Neither the GCC nor libatomic_ops URLs are valid, anymore. Update them to the latest versions and ensure the URLs themselves are visible in documentation as links to external sites. Additionally, the current cgit installation on bogomips.org will soon be replaced by a CSS-free web-based viewer. Also, correct the reference to "LGPL-2.1+" while we're at it and add references to the nntp:// mail archives.
2015-01-13move mailing list to raindrops-public@bogomips.org
Existing subscribers on librelist will need to resubscribe since there's no published subscriber lists anywhere. The public-inbox + mlmmj setup on bogomips.org allows posting without subscription and offers downloadable archives via git. The lack of rsyncable archives on librelist nowadays and subscription-required nature of librelist are points against it. Repliers should Cc: all recipients (using the reply-all function of their mail client) since many readers are not subscribed. This project has never accepted or encouraged HTML email, but librelist accepted it. The bogomips.org mail server is configured to treat HTML mail as spam, so do not send HTML mail if you expect a response. Users who wish to subscribe may send a message to: raindrops-public+subscribe@bogomips.org Similarly, they may unsubscribe via: raindrops-public+unsubscribe@bogomips.org HTTP archives are available via: http://bogomips.org/raindrops-public/ ssoma users may also use: git://bogomips.org/raindrops-public (see README change) Old messages to the librelist addresses will continue to get routed to the new mailing list. ref: http://public-inbox.org/
2015-01-13README: trim intro and update license
No need to mention Rainbows! anymore since it is stagnant, and I've given up on Rubinius support since it requires a proprietary bug tracker. We went with LGPL-2.1+ in commit 09fb7ccc3f1712411c61cbf54766c3c12c8296b2 but forgot to update the README.
2013-04-20README: update regarding Ruby support status
Now that Ruby 2.0.0 is out...
2011-06-27doc: librelist.com => librelist.org
A non-profit TLD makes more sense for a Free Software project.
2011-03-11doc: more rdoc updates for Linux users
Yes we love Linux more than other systems :>
2011-03-10rdoc: 100% documentation coverage!
Of course, RDoc doesn't know quantity vs quality :)
2011-02-28doc: mention tcp_diag/inet_diag for old kernels
People actually need to load modules manually on older kernels :<
2011-02-15README: shorten git URLs
bogomips.org is on a URL diet
2010-09-26README: update for Rubinius support
It works!
2010-09-20README: updates for upcoming 0.4.0 release
No more GCC 4.x dependency!
2010-07-10raindrops v0.3.0 - LGPL v2.1 and v3.0
Raindrops is now licensed under the LGPLv2.1 or LGPLv3 (from LGPLv3-only) to allow bundling in GPLv2-only applications. There are small documentation updates and updated examples at http://raindrops.bogomips.org/examples/
