I knew about this upcoming change for a while, but not exactly when it would happen: today a user of MakeCD, the Amiga CD writing software that I developed together with Angela Schmidt during our studies, pointed out to me that makecd.core.de is gone.

Recently I was asked whether there is an announcement mailing list for SyncEvolution. There is none; instead I started to announce new versions or major changes here on this blog.
