After the successful upgrade to F17 from F16 I have discovered that "View Recent Changes" shows, after some "busy" time an empty window rather than the recent changes. I am using sparkleshare-0.8.4-2.fc17.x86_64 This worked fine in F16.
I have now tried with sparkleshare 0.8.4 selfcompiled from GIT, same problem. Hence I suspect a mono or git problem in F17 rather than a Sparkleshare problem. The messages when launching it in a terminal appear to be normal and connection to my data repo established.
Same here, however today I built version 0.9 and it works fine there. Seems like an update should solve that problem.
