Hello list:

Last service announcement!

 From now on, I will publish changes only on the Wiki/my own page, as 
requested by Chris out of respect for the Box Backup users that do not 
want to hear about Boxi. Perhaps it would make sense to have a separate 
Boxi mailing list, as I believe that interaction via a list will result 
in better and faster feedback than a dynamic yet static Wiki.

Anyway, on topic: I am pleased to announce that Boxi is finally working 
on OS X: I have invested quite some time into investigating what was 
missing, and I came up with some reasonable answers. Details are 
available here [1], including the resulting DMG for Boxi R657 with a 
pre-compiled binary (Intel-only, sorry).

Boxi now runs perfectly under OS X, apart from stability and non-ASCII 
character issues that are detailed on the page. I will file a separate 
bug for those issues on the tracker.

Cheers, Achim
