&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;I was going to release Lamson 0.9.6 much earlier than this, but as I worked on
the bounce detection feature, I realized that if I just wrote that and a few
other cleanups and features, I&amp;#8217;d actually have a &lt;strong&gt;1.0pre1&lt;/strong&gt; candidate on my
hands instead of a 0.9.6 release.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;I think I&amp;#8217;m at a point where bounce detection and handling works really well and is 
ready for release.  I&amp;#8217;ve got it running on the latest Lamson demo &lt;a href="http://librelist.com/"&gt;librelist.com&lt;/a&gt;
and it works.  I&amp;#8217;ll be pushing out a new release of Libre List in a little while
that does some advanced bounce handling, and if that all works, then I&amp;#8217;ll push
out 0.9.6.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;I just finished committing 0.9.6 code for doing bounce detection and analysis
with Lamson.  It&amp;#8217;s part of the new mailing list example I&amp;#8217;m coding up for the
0.9.6 release which I&amp;#8217;ll be running on a free mailing list site I&amp;#8217;m going 
to release soon.  In this blog post I&amp;#8217;d like to go through the bounce detection
algorithm and get some feedback and samples from people.  So far it works great for
the samples I have, but I want it to be fairly bullet proof.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m making up the release of Lamson and doing some server maintenance so I took down the
Lamson server running the mailing lists.  I&amp;#8217;ll let everyone know when they&amp;#8217;re back up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;Just a quick update to point people at an article in &lt;a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/"&gt;The Register&lt;/a&gt; by 
&lt;a href="http://teddziuba.com/"&gt;Ted Dziuba&lt;/a&gt; entitled &lt;a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/03/lamson/"&gt;Lamson &amp;#8211; email app coding without the palm sweat: Doing what Java never did&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;I just released Lamson 0.9.5 with all the major Unicode refactoring done and working.
This is an important release because 0.9.5 is where I declare that I&amp;#8217;m pushing to a 1.0 
release and the base Lamson &lt;a href="/docs/api/"&gt;APIs&lt;/a&gt; won&amp;#8217;t change under penalty of death.  In fact they can&amp;#8217;t
change because I&amp;#8217;m using them myself in a few applications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;Since the 0.9.4 release I&amp;#8217;ve rewritten the main part of the decoding parser 
so that it&amp;#8217;s much cleaner and handles more edge conditions.  If there&amp;#8217;s one 
word that defines what makes &lt;span class="caps"&gt;MIME&lt;/span&gt; horrible it would be &amp;#8220;edge&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;Lamson 0.9.4 is out and it&amp;#8217;s sporting a completely rewritten and meticulously 
crafted encoding system.  With the new &lt;a href="http://lamsonproject.org/docs/api/lamson.encoding-module.html"&gt;lamson.encoding&lt;/a&gt; code Lamson can now decode nearly any nasty horrible encoded spam
or mail you hand it, turn it into pristine nice Python unicode strings, and
then output sweet clean ascii or utf-8 in a consistent way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m currently polishing off the two final features before I start going for
the Lamson 1.0 release.  I&amp;#8217;ve been using Lamson to make a few little cute applications
and create one thing for a potential client, and so far I haven&amp;#8217;t had to change much
since 0.9.3.  It&amp;#8217;s great so far and I hope that Lamson 1.0 will be a fun release.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;Just a quick reminder that I&amp;#8217;ll be presenting &lt;a href="http://lamsonproject.org/"&gt;Lamson&lt;/a&gt; to the

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;I just finished writing some new documentation on &lt;a href="/docs/deploying_lamson.html"&gt;Deploying Lamson and OneShotBlog&lt;/a&gt; that
shows you how to install Lamson and all required software into a completely clean Python 2.6 and virtualenv configuration.
The instructions take you from nothing to a running &lt;a href="http://oneshotblog.com/"&gt;oneshotblog.com&lt;/a&gt; installation that you can 
play with and hack on.  The process of doing Lamson deployments is still a little too rough for me, but these instructions
should get people started.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;This release is the result of me working on my little
&lt;a href="http://oneshotblog.com/"&gt;oneshotblog.com&lt;/a&gt; project while tweaking and refining
Lamson as I go.  The end result is 0.9.3 didn&amp;#8217;t have a lot of big code changes,
but all the tiny little changes add up to a very nice release.  The highlights
of this release are more secure server runs, better character encoding handling
for headers, various cleanups in how mail is queued, and fixes for Python 2.6
support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;I &lt;strong&gt;finally&lt;/strong&gt; got off my ass and put the &lt;a href="http://oneshotblog.com/"&gt;OneShotBlog&lt;/a&gt; sample up.
This is the code (plus a few little tweaks) from the sample that is in the &lt;a href="/releases/"&gt;Lamson source&lt;/a&gt;
running on another server.  It&amp;#8217;s using all the features of Lamson, include the new &lt;a href="/docs/deferred_processing_to_queues.html"&gt;Queue Receiver&lt;/a&gt;
functionality.  So far it&amp;#8217;s working great considering I&amp;#8217;ve just been hacking on it on the side to try
out the usability of the Lamson &lt;a href="/docs/api/"&gt;APIs&lt;/a&gt; and not really taken it seriously.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;The 0.9.2 release is out and ready for everyone to easy_install.  I spent the
day getting rid of my tech debt by boosting the Lamson test coverage to a
whopping 97%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I just pushed Lamson 0.9 up to PyPI for everyone to grab and break.  This release 
features a complete redesign of the routing, state handling, templating, and a full 
set of very complete documentation.  Everyone who was using 0.8.x series should be able 
to migrate to this version with some work, but it won&amp;#8217;t be terribly painful (assuming
you have unit tests).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;I have been working hard on the documentation and scrubbing the code for Lamson and the 0.9 release
coming out soon.  The only things I feel I need to do before an official 0.9 release are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;First off, my apologies to everyone if your &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RSS&lt;/span&gt; reader went crazy today.
I include documentation changes in the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RSS&lt;/span&gt; feed so that people can
easily track updates to the Lamson docs.  However, that means when I&amp;#8217;m
writing a lot of documentation it hits the feed repeatedly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've been hard at work cooking up the very nice new routing system, and
I must say it is rather tasty.  I've gone and created a whole new
routing and state management design that uses decorators right in your
handler modules to indicate how each state will expect mail addresses.

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;This is just a quick update to say thanks to &lt;a href="http://kenkeiter.com/"&gt;Ken Keiter&lt;/a&gt;
for creating a new &lt;a href="http://lamsonproject.org/"&gt;lamsonproject.org&lt;/a&gt; site layout and
design.  The new site should be easier to read, have more breathing room, and look
easier on the eyes.  It&amp;#8217;s even got a logo:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;A few announcements from my work on Lamson the last few days.  I managed to fix
a bug, put Lamson to work doing Lamson&amp;#8217;s mailing lists, and use Lamson to do
some spam blocking on my own email account.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;Today I launched the Lamson Project site at
&lt;a href="http://lamsonproject.org/"&gt;lamsonproject.org&lt;/a&gt; and started filling in the
content.  Lamson is really turning into a fun and useful project, and hopefully
the site will get other people interested in it and using it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;Earlier versions of Lamson assumed that you would use SQLAlchemy, and
that you wouldn&amp;#8217;t mind storing your state in the database using
SQLAlchemy.  Well, during the 0.9 redesign it became very easy to let
you store the state however and wherever you want.  In the new Lamson setup
there is a bit more work to create alternative storage, but Lamson comes with
two default stores that you can use to get started.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;When you design a Lamson application the question of &amp;#8220;registration&amp;#8221;
comes up almost immediately.  The question is one of how you find out
who a person is so that you can interact with them.  In the web world
this involves a form of some kind asking for a login and password at a
minimum.  Some sites even go so far as to require a sign-up process
&lt;strong&gt;before&lt;/strong&gt; they let you see anything about the site, or even their marketing
material.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;The best way to install Lamson in a virtualenv is using the 
&lt;a href="http://pip.openplans.org/"&gt;pip tool&lt;/a&gt; to install it. This will automatically fetch the 
code from bazaar, install it inside the virtualenv and fetch any 
missing dependencies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The following is also available by running &lt;b&gt;lamson help&lt;/b&gt; and you can get the
help for each individual command with &lt;b&gt;lamson help -for COMMAND&lt;/b&gt; replacing

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;Lamson uses the concept of a Finite State Machine to do the internal
processing and keep track of what it should do next.  You don&amp;#8217;t
necessarily need to know the details of how a &lt;span class="caps"&gt;FSM&lt;/span&gt; works, but it
helps you if you want to know enough about Lamson to do advanced work.
Most people could be blissfully unaware of state machines and still do 
plenty of work with Lamson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;Lamson is designed to work like modern web application frameworks like Django, TurboGears,
&lt;span class="caps"&gt;ASP&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span class="caps"&gt;NET&lt;/span&gt;, Ruby on Rails, and whatever &lt;span class="caps"&gt;PHP&lt;/span&gt; is using these days.  At every design decision 
Lamson tries to emulate terminology and features found in these frameworks.  This Getting Started
document will help you get through that terminology, get you started running your first
lamson application, and walk you through the code you should read.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;Lamson supports initial use of the &lt;a href="http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/"&gt;SpamBayes&lt;/a&gt; spam filter
library for filtering spam.  What Lamson provides is a set of easy to use decorators that you
attach to your state functions which indicate that you want spam filtered.  It also uses the
default SpamBayes configuration files and database formats as you configure, so if you have
an existing SpamBayes setup you should be able to use it right away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;These instructions will teach you how to setup a completely clean Python 2.6 installation,
a virtualenv with lamson, and all the gear needed to run the &lt;a href="http://oneshotblog.com/"&gt;oneshotblog.com&lt;/a&gt;
software on your machine.  It then leads you through the nitty-gritty details of getting 
oneshotblog.com running on your machine and testing it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;As of the 0.9.2 release there is preliminary support for deferring
handling of a mail message to a queue for another process to deal with
in a separate handler.  This support is rough at this time, but still
useful and not too difficult to configure.  As the feature gets more
use it will improve and hopefully turn into a generic &amp;#8220;defer to queue&amp;#8221;
system in Lamson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
