The recent stream of new applications and application updates shows no signs of drying up – and now Oliver Tappe has joined the party by releasing an update to the Beam EMail client (downloads for net_server, BONE, and ZETA). The update, a Release Candidate for version 1.1, appears to contain all the new features added specifically for the Zeta version. And after digging through RC1.1 for a few minutes, a few other interesting things also popped out, such as built-in trainable spam filtering (including a “Train as tofu” option?), and incremental search – aka “find as you type” – in message windows. ICO and HaikuNews have both posted additional details.

Another piece of software which was recently updated is Nvu, the mozilla-based WYSIWYG HTML editor. A screenshot of Nvu running on R5 + BONE can be seen here: screenshot. And last but not least, developer Florian Thaler has released a backup utility for ZETA called ZBackup. From the screenshots, it looks like a lot of effort has been making backup of important data as simple as possible, and it offers some useful options for storing backups (CD/DVD, FTP, etc).

Thanks to Mr. X for the last two items.
