The last 24 hours 
I can hardly wait and hope nothing is going to block the process. Remember, if you're in Paris, let's have a drink at Café Zéphyr wednesday 8:30pm to celebrate the release of Nvu 1.0. If you're the happy owner of an Nvu polo shirt, wear it proudly (I may come with a few shirts for sale, if anyone is interested; if _you_ are interested, add a comment with your size).

Merci d'avance, on va enfin pouvoir passer du rêve à la réalité. Encore merci pour ton travail.
I know you are busy... but everytime my mother creates a link with a ~ in it, NVU changes the entity for it to %7E
How can we stop this from happening?
@AQ: %7E is the correct encoding for ~, see www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738... (section 2.2). ~ is explicitely mentioned there and it is said that this character should be encoded.
Looking forward to it. What time exactly will it be released?
Hello Wladimir,
Thanks for the answer to this. I guess the problem is that the domain names are something like this
www.fakeaddress.com/~chicago
Since it is on a large network of sites my mother doesn't control, she can't cause a change to this.
Now the actual problem is that it is effecting how the links appear on her site. This is causing a vote of no confidence from her users who think she is trying to redirect them to some other site.
I have been pushing NVU pretty hard to her and her users, but this issue is standing in the way of the full acceptance by the users.
I tried to stop the encoding issue by having her change the page to UTF-8 and turning off the character entity in the tools>preferences but it didn't stop it.
Unfortunately whe might have to use her "Frontpage 2000" which is enough to make me want to barf.
Since I hand code my sites and don't use an editor I don't have this sort of bind personally... but my mother has a lot of users under her leadership who we've recommended NVU to.
If their could be some sort of option to change that, we would certainly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time everyone.
I would have gladly joined for a drink, but I will be in a TGV heading south after a too long trip..
Enjoy your party!
PS: is there a way to buy those tee-shirts somewhere else?
when will you release nvu? today? tomorrow?
AQ:
The Tilde and the %7E are EXACTLY the same. If somebody is foolish enough to avoid visiting your mom's site over something so trivial then the loss is theirs.
I would suggest to your mom that she should give people 2 URL's for her site: one with the tilde and one with the %7E. Also, get a free redirector from a service such as iceglow.com or smartdots.com .
For example, my home page is at my.en.com/~nparks/ . But with the redirector I got from smartdots.com, it is also nparks.net.tc .
Well... unfortunately, we live in the real world where the majority of people are simple users who are foolish enough to think that.
When you hover over a link, and the link reads %7e instead of what it actually shows on the page, that will confuse many visitors. We don't own the domain name, so can't redirect.
This is a serious issue and should be optional if we are to endorse this product to the many users. It simply shouldn't be a matter of "take it or leave it" as that is an imature attitude which I would never support in the first place.
So, for now I'll have her use find and replace in a text editor so she can fix this... and hopefully someone at disruptive innovations can find some way to switch this on and off.
AQ: blame the URL spec authors, not software authors.
So I should tell everyone to hand code in a text editor instead?
And on top of that, who said I was blaming you?
I was making a suggestion for an option to deal with this.
Blame has no part in this.
Hi, Daniel!
I've translated Nvu 1.0PR to Slovenian:
lugos.si/projekti/mozilla...
Could you please add Slovenian to the list od localizations?
And I would be really happy if you could e-mail me on the Nvu 1.0 localization status and process.
Regards,
Matjaz
I get this as a first result in Google when I search for 'tilde url'.

End quote.
You can point a redirector to any site you want. You don't have to "own" it.
NVU home page announces that 1.0 has been released!
But download page is still offering only the PR.
Where is the new one?
A few minutes ago the home page was announcing the new release.
Now, it isn't!!
Tu aurais dû organiser le pot au Frontpage (au chatelet)
Fabio: BWAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!
