v1.3.7 release - moving to SourceHut
Mitch v1.3.7 is yet another bugfix update.
- Implemented two different downloaders: standard and Fetch (using the Fetch library). You can choose one in the Settings menu in case one of them gives you trouble.
- Fixed bug where update check notifications used the wrong notification channel
- Bug report emails now get sent to a SourceHut mailing list.
The development repository is moving to SourceHut!
(you can stop reading here unless you care about software development)
I was originally hosting the app’s open source code on GitLab, because I got upset at Microsoft purchasing GitHub. But the truth is, I actually don’t really like GitLab. It’s a really heavy website that takes forever to load and the UI is very clumbersome. It’s a really powerful service, but I just never use 99% of its features.
I thought about moving away from GitLab and I had a few options:
- Move to GitHub.
- Move to some different, more obscure hosting service.
I chose the latter option because SourceHut is really cool. It’s extremely lightweight and you don’t need an account to interact with it, you can leave comments and submit patches via email. Coincidentally, I already use email for my “automatic” bug reports, and now with SourceHut I can direct all those messages to a proper public mailing list, instead of just to my own personal address.

I will keep using the GitLab issue tracker for a while, at least until some of the actual issues are fixed (like the dreaded bug #22)
