Retro-Computing? I show you Retro-Computing!

2 Xerox 1186 (running Lyric Lisp)
1 Symbolics XL1201
1 Symbolics 3645 (deposited at a friend)
1 Sun 3/50
1 Sun IPC
1 Gepard (standalone system!)
2 Epson PX-8 CP/M notebooks
1 Dauphin DTR-1 Desktop Replacement (Pen-Windows 3.x!)

And several stuff not that interesting and sexy.

PDP11 Emulator, pah! Smiley

(okok, I have an installation of MVS 3.8j running on Hercules/360 somewhere on CD)

Note to self: read the Mesa PrincOps, as that might help with the 1186 machines. But where to get a Mesa compiler?

Weird error messages with trackback client

The trackback client code currently throws up some error messages about the result not being what it expects. Just ignore them, this will be fixed with 0.4.21 - looks like some bad regexp or something like that.

It was a missing re.DOTALL in a regexp: newlines where not treated as normal chars. Damn. Standard bug, should have seen that one.

Another important change: 0.4.21 will include native trackback client rendering, as now the Python Community Server will give out a clue wether it supports trackback or not.
