SyncEvolution 0.9 beta 2 -> 0.9 beta 3, 21.07.2009
|
2009-07-09 14:14:22 +02:00
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Synthesis SyncML Engine version: see src/synthesis/ChangeLog
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enabled calendar and task synchronization for myFunambol.com.
|
|
|
|
Not all iCalendar 2.0 features are supported by the server,
|
|
|
|
most notably support for meetings (drops attendees), meeting
|
|
|
|
invitations (drops UID), detached recurrences
|
2009-07-21 13:11:05 +02:00
|
|
|
(drops RECURRENCE-ID). See README.funambol for details.
|
2009-07-09 14:14:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interoperability with the Funambol server was improved by adding
|
|
|
|
support for some vCard extensions (X-MANAGER/ASSISTANT/SPOUSE/ANNIVERSARY,
|
2009-07-21 16:02:36 +02:00
|
|
|
Bugzilla #2418). Lost ACTION property is worked around (#2422).
|
2009-07-09 14:14:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2009-07-17 22:18:25 +02:00
|
|
|
Synchronization with Google Contacts was enabled and tested.
|
2009-07-21 11:40:50 +02:00
|
|
|
A configuration template for that server is now provided. Google
|
|
|
|
follows the vCard 2.1 specification and thus does not support some
|
|
|
|
of the vCard 3.0 additions, nor some of the common extensions. As
|
|
|
|
a result, several properties are not synchronized (nickname, birthday,
|
|
|
|
spouse/manager, URLs, ...). Only one top-level organization seems to
|
2009-07-21 13:11:05 +02:00
|
|
|
be supported. For details, see README.google.
|
2009-07-21 11:40:50 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Regarding Google's SyncML support, refresh-from-client and
|
|
|
|
one-way-from-client sync modes are not supported. Deleting contacts
|
2009-07-21 16:02:36 +02:00
|
|
|
moves them out of the main address without deleting them permanently. When
|
2009-07-21 11:40:50 +02:00
|
|
|
adding such a contact again, the server discards the data sent by the
|
|
|
|
client and recreates the contact with the data that it remembered.
|
2009-07-17 22:18:25 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2009-07-22 08:37:32 +02:00
|
|
|
SSL certificate checking with libsoup (the default transport) is now
|
|
|
|
supported (#2431). However, libsoup/gnutls are very strict about SSL
|
|
|
|
certificate checking and reject version 1 certificates, like the one
|
|
|
|
used by Verisign for Google (#4551). At the moment the only solution
|
|
|
|
is to fall back to plain http in the Google configuration template.
|
|
|
|
|
2009-07-09 14:14:22 +02:00
|
|
|
CTRL-C no longer kills SyncEvolution right away. Instead it
|
|
|
|
asks the server to suspend the session. If that takes too
|
|
|
|
long, then pressing CTRL-C twice quickly will abort the sync
|
|
|
|
without waiting for the server (warning, this may lead to a
|
|
|
|
slow sync in the next session).
|
|
|
|
|
2009-07-21 16:02:36 +02:00
|
|
|
WBXML is enabled by default now, except for Funambol (#2415).
|
2009-07-09 14:14:22 +02:00
|
|
|
Using WBXML reduces message sizes and increases parsing
|
|
|
|
performance. It was not enabled initially in the 0.9 releases in order
|
|
|
|
to test this new feature more thoroughly. Old configs don't have an
|
|
|
|
explicit enableWBXML setting and therefore will automatically use the
|
|
|
|
new default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Various bug fixes and improvements:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* only show servers in GUI which are tested and supported (Bugzilla #3336)
|
2009-07-21 16:02:36 +02:00
|
|
|
* a single log file is written in .html format (#3474)
|
2009-07-09 14:14:22 +02:00
|
|
|
* added several translations of the GUI
|
2009-07-21 16:02:36 +02:00
|
|
|
* lots of testing improvements, build binary packages again

UPGRADING
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When enabling calendar and todo synchronization with Funambol
|
2009-07-21 16:02:36 +02:00
|
|
|
in an existing configuration, set the type so that iCalendar 2.0 is used:
|
|
|
|
syncevolution --configure --source-type sync=two-way funambol calendar todo
|
|
|
|
syncevolution --configure --source-type type='calendar:text/calendar!' funambol calendar
|
|
|
|
syncevolution --configure --source-type type='todo:text/calendar!' funambol todo
|
2009-07-08 17:56:49 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When creating a configuration anew, this is not necessary because the
|
|
|
|
configuration template contains those types.

SyncEvolution 0.9 beta 1 -> 0.9 beta 2, 12.06.2009

--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Synthesis SyncML Engine version: see src/synthesis/ChangeLog
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Major new feature: a GTK GUI! The "sync-ui" program depends on a
|
|
|
|
backend D-Bus service ("synevo-dbus-server") and several auxiliary
|
|
|
|
files. Therefore it only runs without hacks after "sudo make install",
|
|
|
|
in contrast to the normal command line which can be invoked directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New configuration templates can be added to
|
|
|
|
/etc/default/applications/syncevolution. These templates may contain
|
|
|
|
icons which are used by the GUI (no icons shipped right now).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Information about previous synchronization sessions is now stored in a
|
|
|
|
machine-readable format and can be accessed via the new
|
|
|
|
--print-sessions options. The output of this information is more
|
|
|
|
complete and nicer formatted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--status now not only shows data changes since the last sync, but also
|
|
|
|
the item changes (see README for the difference between the two).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new --restore option allows restoring local data to the state as
|
|
|
|
it was before or after a sync. For this to work, "logdir" must be set
|
|
|
|
(done by default for new configurations). The format of database dumps
|
|
|
|
was changed to implement this feature: instead of in a flat file,
|
|
|
|
items are now saved as individual files in a directory. To get the
|
|
|
|
previous format back (for example, to import as one .vcf or .ics file
|
|
|
|
manually) concatenate these files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With --remove one can remove configurations. It leaves data files and
|
|
|
|
the local databases untouched.

Various bug fixes and improvements:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* compiles and works again on Debian Etch if Boost 1.35 is installed
|
2009-06-12 14:16:21 +02:00
|
|
|
from www.backports.org (without GUI, see Bugzilla #3358)
|
2009-06-10 23:32:36 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* uses XDG_CACHE_HOME (= ~/.cache) for logs and database dumps to
|
|
|
|
avoid interfering with .desktop search in XDG_DATA_HOME; the
|
|
|
|
directory there is automatically moved when running syncevolution
|
|
|
|
(Bugzilla #3309)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* re-enabled certain config options (clientAuthType, maxMsgSize, maxObjSize);
|
|
|
|
normally it shouldn't be necessary to modify those (Bugzilla #3242, #2784)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* fixed error handling of unexpected server reply in libsoup transport
|
|
|
|
(Bugzilla #3041)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* message logging is enabled at logLevel 3 (XML translation) and 4 (also
|
|
|
|
original XML or WBXML message)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GTK GUI fixes since initial Moblin 2.0 beta: only start it once if
|
|
|
|
libunique is available (Bugzilla #3154), wrap text in change sync service"
|
|
|
|
button (Bugzilla #2064), sort sources alphabetically in UI (Bugzilla #2070)

SyncEvolution 0.8.1 -> 0.9 beta 1, 13.05.2009
|
2009-04-06 17:42:28 +02:00
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Synthesis SyncML Engine version: see src/synthesis/ChangeLog
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A major new release and the first step towards further improvements:
|
|
|
|
from this release onwards, the Synthesis SyncML engine is used as the
|
|
|
|
underlying SyncML and data conversion engine. The focus of this first
|
|
|
|
beta was to reach the same level of functionality and stability as in
|
|
|
|
0.8.1. Therefore this beta does not yet bring much new features; this
|
|
|
|
will be the focus of further beta releases until finally 0.9 will be a
|
|
|
|
full replacement for 0.8.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release also switches from an "all items are sent verbatim to the
|
|
|
|
SyncML server" to a "parse and convert" data handling model. The
|
|
|
|
argument for the former approach was that the SyncML server should be
|
|
|
|
the only entity in the system which does data conversion. The previous
|
|
|
|
releases already had to deviate from this approach to accommodate for
|
|
|
|
minor client/server incompatibilities and for vCard 2.1 support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main reason for going to full semantic conversion is vCalendar 1.0
|
|
|
|
support. Support by servers for iCalendar 2.0, the only format
|
|
|
|
supported by 0.8.1, is often still incomplete or even non-existant. By
|
|
|
|
doing the conversion on the client side, SyncEvolution is now able to
|
|
|
|
synchronize events and tasks with a wider variety of servers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is still true that properties not supported by a server cannot
|
|
|
|
be synchronized to other devices, so using a server with full
|
|
|
|
iCalendar 2.0 support is recommended. But in contrast to 0.8.1,
|
|
|
|
information that can only be stored locally is no longer lost when
|
|
|
|
receiving an incomplete update from the SyncML server thanks to
|
|
|
|
intelligent merging provided by the Synthesis engine. This depends on
|
|
|
|
an accurate description of the server's capabilities, which might not
|
|
|
|
be provided by all of them - still needs to be tested in more detail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** WARNING ***: after switching from a previous release to the
|
|
|
|
current one or vice versa, do a "syncevolution --sync
|
|
|
|
refresh-from-server" or "--sync refresh-from-client" (depending on
|
|
|
|
which side has the authoritative copy of the data) once to get client
|
|
|
|
and server into a consistent state. Not doing so can result in
|
|
|
|
applying the same changes to the server multiple times and thus
|
|
|
|
duplicates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in detail:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* vCalendar 1.0 is now supported. Because this hasn't been tested that
|
|
|
|
much yet, events and tasks are still disabled in the Funambol default
|
|
|
|
configuration (SF #2635973).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Both libcurl and libsoup can be selected at compile time as HTTP(S)
|
|
|
|
transport mechanism.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* SF #2101015: Expect: 100-continue header results in 417 Error with proxy
|
|
|
|
Should no longer occur with the HTTP transports in this release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* SF #1874805: Syncing with Funambol results in loosing all-day property
|
|
|
|
This now works thanks to the Synthesis data conversion rules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* SF #2586600: Synchronisation with mobical.net fails
|
|
|
|
Should work now because of the different SyncML implementation (untested).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* SF #2542968: separator for categories should not be escaped
|
|
|
|
Done correctly by the Synthesis vcard conversion.
|
|
|
|
|
2009-05-05 11:37:51 +02:00
|
|
|
* bug fix: Evolution notes with only a summary and no description were
|
|
|
|
not sent correctly to the server: an empty text was sent instead of
|
|
|
|
sending the summary
|
|
|
|
|
2009-04-06 17:42:28 +02:00
|
|
|
Known shortcomings in this release which will be fixed before the
|
|
|
|
final 0.9:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Verbatim file backups of items on the SyncML server are currently
|
|
|
|
not possible: the SyncEvolution "file" backend still exists, but
|
|
|
|
all items are converted by the Synthesis engine and therefore must
|
|
|
|
be in a format supported by the engine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* HTTPS can be used with libsoup, but certificate checking is always
|
|
|
|
disabled. Need to find a portable way to determine where the
|
|
|
|
certificate file is on various systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Log file handling is not yet unified: the traditional client.log
|
|
|
|
contains only high-level SyncEvolution log entries. Low-level
|
|
|
|
SyncML and engine log entries are in sysync_*.html files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* stdout and stderr messages from system libraries are visible on the
|
|
|
|
console. 0.8.1 used to redirect those into the client.log to hide
|
|
|
|
this noise; this will be added again. In the meantime, ignore
|
|
|
|
messages like "Deadlock potential - avoiding evil bug!". This is
|
|
|
|
liborbit telling us that it is (hopefully successfully) handling
|
|
|
|
something nasty.

SyncEvolution 0.8.1 -> 0.8.1a, 15.12.2008
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
C++ client library: 7.0 plus some patches, see github
|
|
|
|
repository referenced in configure script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A minor bug fix release, updating only necessary on Mac OS X.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* #2307976 "Trace/BPT trap - sync failure": occurs randomly in
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X specific transport layer of the Funambol C++ client
|
|
|
|
library. Avoided in 0.8.1a by using libcurl as transport,
|
|
|
|
as in 0.7.

SyncEvolution 0.8 -> 0.8.1, 11.10.2008
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
C++ client library: 7.0 plus some patches, see github
|
|
|
|
repository referenced in configure script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A minor bug fix release, updating not really necessary.
|
|
|
|
The binary packages for Evolution are built now so that
|
|
|
|
one package works for all compatible Evolution releases,
|
|
|
|
including the new Evolution 2.24.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Evolution calendar: regression in 0.8: one-way sync of virtual
|
|
|
|
birthday calendar (#2095433). "refresh-from-client" works again
|
|
|
|
for the birthday calendar. Other modes are not supported.
|
|
|
|
In contrast to previous releases SyncEvolution now does some
|
|
|
|
sanity checks that the sync mode is right.
|
|
|
|
* Mac OS X: removing old logdirs failed (#2087389). Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* SyncML client library: "Expect: 100-continue" header
|
|
|
|
resulted in 417 error with certain proxies (#2101015).
|
|
|
|
Now this header is always disabled; it doesn't make
|
|
|
|
much sense with SyncML anyway.
|
|
|
|
* The development of the Funambol C++ client library is now
|
|
|
|
tracked in a git repository on github.com. Modifications
|
|
|
|
and tags for SyncEvolution are checked in there. The
|
|
|
|
configure script checks out the right sources from there
|
|
|
|
automatically; can be controlled via --with-funambol-src
|
|
|
|
parameter.
|
|
|
|
* Evolution desktop: the version of the used Evolution libraries
|
|
|
|
is included in the "--version" output and log files.
|
|
|
|
* Cleaned up README. Kudos to Martin Wetterstedt for pointing
|
|
|
|
out mistakes in the README and the web site.

SyncEvolution 0.7 -> 0.8, 29.08.2008
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
C++ client library: 7.0 plus compatibility patch for Synthesis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updating user configuration: this version introduces a new, simplified
|
|
|
|
configuration layout. Old configurations still work. They can be
|
|
|
|
converted to the new format via a new "--migrate" command line option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** WARNING ***: this version uses a different change tracking for Mac
|
|
|
|
OS X address book, Evolution calendars, task lists and memos. After
|
|
|
|
switching from a previous release to the current one or vice versa, do
|
|
|
|
a "syncevolution --sync refresh-from-server" once to reset the change
|
|
|
|
tracking. Not doing so can result in applying the same changes to the
|
|
|
|
server multiple times and thus duplicates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New configuration file layout: following the freedesktop.org
|
|
|
|
recommendation, new configurations are stored in
|
|
|
|
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/syncevolution or $HOME/.config/syncevolution if
|
|
|
|
XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set. The old layout under
|
|
|
|
$HOME/.sync4j/evolution is still supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New command line options: new configurations can be created by
|
|
|
|
syncevolution itself (--configure), including setting of all
|
|
|
|
configuration properties (--sync-property, --source-property).
|
|
|
|
The configuration can dumped to stdout (--print-config), with or
|
|
|
|
without comments explaining each property (--quiet). See the
|
|
|
|
README for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The "evolutionsource" source property no longer has to be configured.
|
|
|
|
If left blank, the default client database will be synchronized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Selecting which kind of data is to be synchronized under a specific
|
|
|
|
source name is a lot easier now and the same on all supported
|
|
|
|
platforms: the SyncEvolution backends can be selected via aliases
|
|
|
|
(e.g. "contacts") and the format is specified via an optional
|
|
|
|
MIME type (e.g. "contacts:text/x-vcard"). In the unlikely situation
|
|
|
|
that multiple backends are active which can synchronize the same
|
|
|
|
kind of data, then the right one can be selected by the unique
|
|
|
|
name of the backend (e.g. "Evolution Address Book").
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New configurations automatically get a random client ID string.
|
|
|
|
Setting it manually is still possible, but no longer necessary.
|
|
|
|
Disabling unavailable data sources is also done automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SyncEvolution checks that the backend is available and there is
|
|
|
|
at least one database (the first one will be synchronized unless
|
|
|
|
explicitly changed). If these checks fail and the sync source was
|
|
|
|
explicitly requested by the user by listing it after the server
|
|
|
|
name, then an error is printed and no configuration is written.
|
|
|
|
If the user wants the default setup, then the source is silently
|
|
|
|
disabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* All passwords can be read from stdin at runtime or an environment
|
|
|
|
variable (see "--sync-property password=?" or README for details).
|
|
|
|
Both avoids the less secure storing of plain text passwords in the
|
|
|
|
configuration files (SF #1832458).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Detached recurrences: meeting series where some occurrences were
|
|
|
|
modified are now supported. Previously only the main event was
|
|
|
|
synchronized. All exceptions got lost when copying back from the
|
|
|
|
server. Requires a SyncML server which supports this. ScheduleWorld
|
|
|
|
was extended to do that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed segfaults caused by logging certain data. The reason was an
|
|
|
|
API change in the client library's logging calls which the older
|
|
|
|
SyncEvolution code hadn't been adapted to. Did not normally occur,
|
|
|
|
but might have been the reason for SF #1830149 (unconfirmed).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Time zone support: the time zones of incoming events are mapped
|
|
|
|
to native time zone definitions whenever possible. Currently
|
|
|
|
this works if the TZID follows the Olson naming scheme with a
|
|
|
|
location at the end. Matching the time zone has the advantage of
|
|
|
|
being able to update the time zone definition without having to
|
|
|
|
recreate the event. If matching fails and the VTIMEZONE definition
|
|
|
|
differs from one already imported earlier, then SyncEvolution works
|
|
|
|
arounds limitation in Evolution by renaming the time zone.
|
|
|
|
Previously the new event used the old and most likely out-dated
|
|
|
|
time zone definition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
***WARNING***: Evolution itself does not do either of these steps
|
|
|
|
itself yet, thus importing meeting invitations via Evolution still
|
|
|
|
fails in some cases. The code implementing the time zone handling
|
|
|
|
described above was written with inclusion into Evolution itself in
|
|
|
|
mind; a discussion with the Evolution developers about that is in
|
|
|
|
progress.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On Maemo/Nokia Internet Tablets, calendar synchronization now
|
|
|
|
works because the new calendar change tracking no longer depends
|
|
|
|
on some of the backend calls which used to fail (SF #1734977).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added SSL configuration options: certificate checking can be
|
|
|
|
relaxed or disabled completely (SF #1852647).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added a new file backend: stores each SyncML item as a separate file
|
|
|
|
in a directory. The directory has to be specified via the database
|
|
|
|
name, using [file://]<path> as format. The file:// prefix is
|
|
|
|
optional, but the directory is only created if it is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Change tracking is done via the file systems modification time
|
|
|
|
stamp: editing a file treats it as modified and then sends it to the
|
|
|
|
server in the next sync. Removing and adding files also works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The local unique identifier for each item is its name in the
|
|
|
|
directory. New files are created using a running count which
|
|
|
|
initialized based on the initial content of the directory to
|
|
|
|
"highest existing number + 1" and incremented to avoid collisions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although this sync source itself does not care about the content of
|
|
|
|
each item/file, the server needs to know what each item sent to it
|
|
|
|
contains and what items the source is able to receive. Therefore
|
|
|
|
the "type" property for this source must contain a data format
|
|
|
|
specified, including a version for it. Here are some examples:
|
|
|
|
- type=file:text/vcard:3.0
|
|
|
|
- type=file:text/plain:1.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Code restructuring: it is now possible to add new backends and thus
|
|
|
|
write SyncML clients for other kinds of data without touching any
|
|
|
|
line of code in SyncEvolution itself. All the required interfaces
|
|
|
|
are documented inside SyncEvolution itself. A HTML documentation can
|
|
|
|
be built via the new "make doc" target (requires Doxygen and dot).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SyncEvolution framework itself never depended on GNOME or
|
|
|
|
Evolution, only the Evolution data sources did. If you want
|
|
|
|
support for other ways of storing your data, consider writing
|
|
|
|
a new data source - it is really easy. See EvolutionSyncSource
|
|
|
|
or TrackingSyncSource for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Messages are printed to the screen immediately. More readable
|
|
|
|
log file format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Maemo: the useless ''list: unable to access calendars:
|
|
|
|
failure' error message is avoided. It was triggered by not having
|
|
|
|
memo support in Evolution Data Server. Cleaned up the code so that
|
|
|
|
it properly distinguishes between 'calendar', 'memo list' and
|
|
|
|
'task list'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* added server template for MemoToo; note that the server has not been
|
|
|
|
tested
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* added synchronization of Evolution memo summary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most devices only synchronize plain text and do not have a
|
|
|
|
separate summary field. Such an extra summary field was added to
|
|
|
|
Evolution after memo support was initially implemented in
|
|
|
|
SyncEvolution, therefore SyncEvolution did not transmit that
|
|
|
|
field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Added transmitting the summary by inserting it as first line of
|
|
|
|
the plain text blob *if* it is not already identical with the
|
|
|
|
first line. When receiving a memo, the summary is set from the
|
|
|
|
first line *without* removing the first line because the first
|
|
|
|
line might have been used as a normal part of the memo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Various other minor changes, fixes and lots of code cleanups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* license cleanup: SyncEvolution is GPL v2 or later

* Another revision of updating events in Evolution calendars:
|
|
|
|
the method introduced in 0.8 beta 1 for dealing with
|
|
|
|
detached recurrences did not work with the Evolution Exchange
|
|
|
|
Connector. Now both Exchange and local calendars pass the unit
|
|
|
|
tests again.
|
|
|
|
|
|

--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
C++ client library: 7.0 plus compatibility patch for Synthesis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* To prevent accidental sync runs when a configuration change
|
|
|
|
was intented, a new --run switch must be used when configuration
|
|
|
|
properties are given on the command line. When neither --run
|
|
|
|
nor --configure are specified, SyncEvolution prints an
|
|
|
|
error and refuses to do anything.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Improved documentation for command line, in particular the synopsis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added a new file backend: stores each SyncML item as a separate file
|
|
|
|
in a directory. The directory has to be specified via the database
|
|
|
|
name, using [file://]<path> as format. The file:// prefix is
|
|
|
|
optional, but the directory is only created if it is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Change tracking is done via the file systems modification time
|
|
|
|
stamp: editing a file treats it as modified and then sends it to the
|
|
|
|
server in the next sync. Removing and adding files also works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The local unique identifier for each item is its name in the
|
|
|
|
directory. New files are created using a running count which
|
|
|
|
initialized based on the initial content of the directory to
|
|
|
|
"highest existing number + 1" and incremented to avoid collisions.

SyncEvolution 0.8 alpha 1 -> 0.8 beta 1, 12.07.2008
|
2008-07-02 23:08:38 +02:00
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
C++ client library: the frozen 7.0 code, but before the release
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added support for detached recurrences (aka modified instances of
|
|
|
|
a recurring event). Requires a SyncML server which supports this.
|
|
|
|
ScheduleWorld was extended to do that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed segfaults caused by logging certain data. The reason was an
|
|
|
|
API change in the client library's logging calls which the older
|
|
|
|
SyncEvolution code hadn't been adapted to. Did not normally occur,
|
|
|
|
but might have been the reason for SF #1830149 (unconfirmed).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* when creating a config for the first time, only enable sync sources
|
|
|
|
which can be synchronized (SF #1991286)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The check for that was completely missing. Now SyncEvolution
|
|
|
|
checks that the backend is available and there is at least one
|
|
|
|
database (the first one will be synchronized unless explicitly
|
|
|
|
changed). If these checks fail and the sync source was explicitly
|
|
|
|
requested by the user by listing it after the server name, then
|
|
|
|
an error is printed and no configuration is written. If the user
|
|
|
|
wants the default setup, then the source is silently disabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed incorrect properties in some of the new server templates
|
2008-07-12 22:03:04 +02:00
|
|
|
(ScheduleWorld syncURL + calender URI, Funambol syncURL, ScheduleWorld
|
|
|
|
addressbook type)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Device IDs must start with the "sc-pim-" prefix, otherwise myFUNAMBOL
|
|
|
|
may treat different devices as the single phone that myFUNAMBOL
|
|
|
|
supports, leading to unwanted slow syncs.
|
2008-07-02 23:08:38 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Maemo package is build again so that backends are loaded dynamically:
|
|
|
|
installing Dates application is as it was with the 0.7 release
|
|
|
|
(SF #1993109). The useless ''list: unable to access calendars:
|
|
|
|
failure' error message is avoided. It was triggered by not having
|
|
|
|
memo support in Evolution Data Server. Cleaned up the code so that
|
|
|
|
it properly distinguishes between 'calendar', 'memo list' and
|
|
|
|
'task list'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* added server template for MemoToo; note that the server has not been
|
|
|
|
tested
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* added synchronization of Evolution memo summary
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Most devices only synchronize plain text and do not have a

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* removed --properties option: it wasn't implemented yet and won't be in 0.8
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* fixed regression in alpha 1: setting sync mode during status query
|
|
|
|
or sync affected *all* sources, even the disabled ones. Now it only
|
|
|
|
affects the enabled ones, as intended. To enable disabled sync sources,
|
|
|
|
list them after the server name.

*** WARNING ***: this version uses a different change tracking for
|
|
|
|
for Mac OS X AddressBook. After switching from a previous release to the current
|
2008-07-14 20:41:41 +02:00
|
|
|
one or vice versa, do a "syncevolution --sync refresh-from-server"
|
2008-07-12 21:31:03 +02:00
|
|
|
once to reset the change tracking. Not doing so can result in applying
|
|
|
|
the same changes to the server multiple times and thus duplicates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A similar change was necessary in 0.8 alpha 1 for Evolution calendar,
|
|
|
|
tasks, and memos. When switching from a version >= 0.8 alpha 1 to an
|
|
|
|
older version or vice versa also refresh the local databases.
|
|
|
|
|
2008-07-12 22:03:04 +02:00
|
|
|
0.8 alpha 1 did not create correct configurations. When you want to continue
|
|
|
|
using such a configuration, make sure that in addition to the obviously
|
|
|
|
wrong syncURLs also the less obvious ScheduleWorld config mistakes are fixed:
|
|
|
|
* calendar: uri=cal2
|
|
|
|
* addressbook: type=addressbook:text/vcard
|
|
|
|
* deviceId must start with "sc-pim-" if you synchronize with myFUNAMBOL,
|
|
|
|
otherwise there may be unwanted slow syncs when multiple devices with
|
|
|
|
a different deviceId connect. Note that changing the deviceId causes
|
|
|
|
a slow sync, so you should get client and server in sync before changing
|
|
|
|
the value, change it, then do a "--sync refresh-from-server".

|
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
C++ client library: a snapshot of the development version
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updating user configuration: this version introduces a new, simplified
|
|
|
|
configuration layout. Old configurations still work. They can be
|
|
|
|
converted to the new format via a new "--migrate" command line option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** WARNING ***: this version uses a different change tracking for
|
2008-07-12 21:31:03 +02:00
|
|
|
Evolution calendars, task lists and memos. After switching from a previous
|
2008-04-19 12:23:03 +02:00
|
|
|
release to the current one or vice versa, do a "syncevolution --sync
|
2008-07-14 20:41:41 +02:00
|
|
|
refresh-from-server" once to reset the change tracking. Not doing so
|
2008-04-19 12:23:03 +02:00
|
|
|
can result in applying the same changes to the server multiple times
|
|
|
|
and thus duplicates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New configuration file layout: following the freedesktop.org
|
|
|
|
recommendation, new configurations are stored in
|
|
|
|
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/syncevolution or $HOME/.config/syncevolution if
|
|
|
|
XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set. The old layout under
|
|
|
|
$HOME/.sync4j/evolution is still supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New command line options: new configurations can be created by
|
|
|
|
syncevolution itself (--configure), including setting of all
|
|
|
|
configuration properties (--sync-property, --source-property).
|
|
|
|
The configuration can dumped to stdout (--print-config), with or
|
|
|
|
without comments explaining each property (--quiet). See the
|
|
|
|
README for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The "evolutionsource" source property no longer has to be configured.
|
|
|
|
If left blank, the default client database will be synchronized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Selecting which kind of data is to be synchronized under a specific
|
|
|
|
source name is a lot easier now and the same on all supported
|
|
|
|
platforms: the SyncEvolution backends can be selected via aliases
|
|
|
|
(e.g. "contacts") and the format is specified via an optional
|
|
|
|
MIME type (e.g. "contacts:text/x-vcard"). In the unlikely situation
|
|
|
|
that multiple backends are active which can synchronize the same
|
|
|
|
kind of data, then the right one can be selected by the unique
|
|
|
|
name of the backend (e.g. "Evolution Address Book").
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New configurations automatically get a random client ID string.
|
|
|
|
Setting it manually is still possible, but no longer necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* All passwords can be read from stdin at runtime or an environment
|
|
|
|
variable (see "--sync-property password=?" or README for details).
|
|
|
|
Both avoids the less secure storing of plain text passwords in the
|
|
|
|
configuration files (SF #1832458).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Detached recurrences: meeting series where some occurrences were
|
|
|
|
modified are now supported. Previously only the main event was
|
|
|
|
synchronized. All exceptions got lost when copying back from the
|
|
|
|
server. ***WARNING***: such events are accepted by ScheduleWorld,
|
|
|
|
but not propagated to other clients. Under investigation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Time zone support: the time zones of incoming events are mapped
|
|
|
|
to native time zone definitions whenever possible. Currently
|
|
|
|
this works if the TZID follows the Olson naming scheme with a
|
|
|
|
location at the end. Matching the time zone has the advantage of
|
|
|
|
being able to update the time zone definition without having to
|
|
|
|
recreate the event. If matching fails and the VTIMEZONE definition
|
|
|
|
differs from one already imported earlier, then SyncEvolution works
|
|
|
|
arounds limitation in Evolution by renaming the time zone.
|
|
|
|
Previously the new event used the old and most likely out-dated
|
|
|
|
time zone definition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
***WARNING***: Evolution itself does not do either of these steps
|
|
|
|
itself yet, thus importing meeting invitations via Evolution still
|
|
|
|
fails in some cases. The code implementing the time zone handling
|
|
|
|
described above was written with inclusion into Evolution itself in
|
|
|
|
mind; a discussion with the Evolution developers about that is in
|
|
|
|
progress.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On Maemo/Nokia Internet Tablets, calendar synchronization now
|
|
|
|
works because the new calendar change tracking no longer depends
|
|
|
|
on some of the backend calls which used to fail (SF #1734977).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added SSL configuration options: certificate checking can be
|
|
|
|
relaxed or disabled completely (SF #1852647).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Adding support for new local data sources is easier now. The
|
|
|
|
SyncEvolution frame work itself never depended on GNOME or
|
|
|
|
Evolution, only the Evolution data sources did. If you want
|
|
|
|
support for other ways of storing your data, consider writing
|
|
|
|
a new data source - it is really easy. See EvolutionSyncSource
|
|
|
|
or TrackingSyncSource for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Messages are printed to the screen immediately. More readable
|
|
|
|
log file format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Various other minor changes and fixes.

SyncEvolution 0.6 -> 0.7, 17.12.2007
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
C++ client library: r_6_5_3_1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updating user configuration: no relevant changes in this release. For those
|
|
|
|
who haven't done so already, enabling large object support is recommended
|
|
|
|
(see syncml/config.txt sample configs).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* added port for iPhone and Mac OS X Address Book
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* fixed Nokia packaging problem which prevented installation
|
|
|
|
via the package manager unless it was in "red pill" mode
|
|
|
|
(SF #1781652)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* sync with eGroupware - lost or messed up telephones: SyncEvolution
|
|
|
|
incorrectly added TYPE=OTHER to phone numbers sent with e.g.
|
|
|
|
CELL instead of TYPE=CELL (SF #1796086). Another patch was
|
|
|
|
required for eGroupware itself to correctly map phone numbers
|
|
|
|
as sent by SyncEvolution, see Compatibility web page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* added .deb packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* adapted calendar event insert/update to Evolution 2.12: the UID needs to be
|
|
|
|
restored, otherwise the Evolution backend crashes (GNOME issue #488881)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* new feature: if the previous log directory is still available,
|
|
|
|
then local changes made since last sync can be queried
|
|
|
|
before starting a sync (new option --status) and will be
|
|
|
|
printed directly before a sync. Setting the "logdir" option
|
|
|
|
will automatically keep the most recent logs and database
|
|
|
|
dumps around.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* added command line options:
|
|
|
|
--sync|-s <mode>
|
|
|
|
Temporarily synchronize the active sources in that mode. Useful
|
|
|
|
for a 'refresh-from-server' or 'refresh-from-client' sync which
|
|
|
|
clears all data at one end and copies all items from the other.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--status|-t
|
|
|
|
The changes made to local data since the last synchronization are
|
|
|
|
shown without starting a new one. This can be used to see in advance
|
|
|
|
whether the local data needs to be synchronized with the server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--quiet|-q
|
|
|
|
Suppresses most of the normal output during a synchronization. The
|
|
|
|
log file still contains all the information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--help|-h
|
|
|
|
Prints usage information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--version
|
|
|
|
Prints the SyncEvolution version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* default configurations now reference the normal Evolution databases
|
|
|
|
("Personal") thus requiring less changes to use. The account information
|
|
|
|
is now clearly marked as placeholder which needs to be entered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* bugfix: vCard 3.0 with mixed case were not converted properly to vCard 2.1
|
|
|
|
by SyncEvolution (must convert to upper case because vCard 2.1 only allows
|
|
|
|
that), leading to problems with mapping phone numbers in the Funambol server.
|
|
|
|
Diagnosed and reported by Paul McDermott, thanks a lot!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* support receiving plain text notes with \n and \r\n line breaks;
|
|
|
|
always send with \r\n
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* added explicit error message when syncevolution is invoked
|
|
|
|
with incorrect names in the list of sources to synchronize:
|
|
|
|
previously it silently ignored unknown names
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* improved output: less verbose ("extracting" items is now
|
|
|
|
logged at debug level and thus not normally shown) and more
|
|
|
|
informative printing of changes (table summarizes number of
|
|
|
|
changes on client and server, heading for comparison changed
|
|
|
|
to make it clear that it shows changes on the client)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* SyncCap is not generated unless syncModes are configured: added
|
|
|
|
a comment to example config (SF #1764123)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* improved error handling: catch errors during post-processing and
|
|
|
|
continue
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

SyncEvolution 0.7-pre1 -> 0.7-pre2, 08.11.2007
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
C++ client library: branch b_v65
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updating user configuration: no relevant changes in this release. For those
|
|
|
|
who haven't done so already, enabling large object support is recommended
|
|
|
|
(see syncml/config.txt sample configs). It is required for myFUNAMBOL to
|
|
|
|
synchronize very large address books and some users have reported segfaults
|
|
|
|
unless this option was enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* iPhone bug fix: syncing contacts with photos was unreliable (export) and
|
|
|
|
crashed (import) because the API had not been called correctly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* iPhone + ScheduleWorld: when configured to use vcard3 (recommended!) then
|
|
|
|
contacts are exchanged as vCard 3.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* iPhone + ScheduleWorld bugfix: importing vCard 3.0 did not correctly
|
|
|
|
classify the phone numbers. A sync with the new "--sync refresh-from-server"
|
|
|
|
option will fix this, assuming that the server has the correct data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Evolution: detect a crashed backend and abort SyncEvolution instead of
|
|
|
|
hanging forever.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* adapted calendar event insert/update to Evolution 2.12: the UID needs to be
|
|
|
|
restored, otherwise the Evolution backend crashes (GNOME issue #488881)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* new feature: if the previous log directory is still available,
|
|
|
|
then local changes made since last sync can be queried
|
|
|
|
before starting a sync (new option --status) and will be
|
|
|
|
printed directly before a sync. Setting the "logdir" option
|
|
|
|
will automatically keep the most recent logs and database
|
|
|
|
dumps around.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* added command line options:
|
|
|
|
--sync|-s <mode>
|
|
|
|
Temporarily synchronize the active sources in that mode. Useful
|
|
|
|
for a 'refresh-from-server' or 'refresh-from-client' sync which
|
|
|
|
clears all data at one end and copies all items from the other.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--status|-t
|
|
|
|
The changes made to local data since the last synchronization are
|
|
|
|
shown without starting a new one. This can be used to see in advance
|
|
|
|
whether the local data needs to be synchronized with the server.
|
|
|

|
Suppresses most of the normal output during a synchronization. The
|

2007-07-09 22:24:21 +02:00
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* C++ client library: tag "sdkcpp_6_0_9_1"
|
|
|
|
* added support for synchronizing Evolution notes (aka memos) as
|
|
|
|
plain text where the first line serves as summary; this is the
|
|
|
|
format understood by ScheduleWorld
|
|
|
|
* added support for synchronizing Evolution notes (aka memos) as
|
|
|
|
iCal 2.0 journal; not currently supported by any server and
|
|
|
|
untested
|
|
|
|
* revamped example configs and documentation: only one set of
|
|
|
|
config files for each server is provided, because this is more
|
|
|
|
likely to be needed by users
|
|
|
|
* example configs are now installed in share/doc/syncevolution,
|
|
|
|
enabled message limit and large object support in them
|
|
|
|
* added support for Nokia 770/800 (aka Maemo):
|
|
|
|
built with loadable modules so that it works with whatever
|
|
|
|
backends are installed, improved log handling to accomodate
|
|
|
|
for limited space on filesystem (see below), some workarounds
|
|
|
|
* added workaround for Nokia 770:
|
|
|
|
contacts are not really deleted unless the EDS-Sync with
|
|
|
|
instant messaging servers is activated; now SyncEvolution
|
|
|
|
will delete contacts marked as deleted by the GUI before
|
|
|
|
a sync if it finds any.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: if you use EDS-Sync and SyncEvolution, then give
|
|
|
|
EDS-Sync enough time after going online to finish its own
|
|
|
|
synchronization of modified/deleted contacts before starting
|
|
|
|
SyncEvolution.
|
|
|
|
* improved log handling: writing log and database dumps can be
|
|
|
|
disabled with "logdir=none", verbosity of log is controlled by
|
|
|
|
"loglevel", better handling of errors during initial database
|
|
|
|
access
|
|
|
|
* added workaround for Evolution bug #455274:
|
|
|
|
the separator for multiple categories in events and tasks
|
|
|
|
is not generated and interpreted according to iCalendar 2.0
|
|
|
|
by Evolution; as a consequence of that items sent to the server
|
|
|
|
had all categories merged into one and items imported into
|
|
|
|
Evolution only used one of the catories
|
|
|
|
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455274
|
|
|
|
* fixed off-by-one counting of months in backup directory names
|
|
|
|
* fixed error handling: a failed source was not forced into a slow
|
|
|
|
sync as required; one failed source prevented saving configs of
|
|
|
|
not-failed ones and thus forced those into an unnecessary slow
|
|
|
|
sync
|
|
|
|
* uses the Funambol C++ testing framework (which is based on the
|
|
|
|
previous SyncEvolution testing); now creates its configs
|
|
|
|
and (when using CLIENT_TEST_EVOLUTION_PREFIX=file://<path>)
|
|
|
|
also the Evolution databases automatically
|
|
|
|
* implemented synccompare as pure Perl script using Algorithm::Diff
|
|
|
|
instead of external diff tool
|
|
|
|
* synccompare did not figure out width of shell window as it should have
|
|
|
|
* better error handling if creating the before/after database dumps
|
|
|
|
fails (SF #1685637)
|
|
|
|
* workaround for Funambol 3.0 trailing = parser bug

UPGRADING
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Old config files from 0.5 or older continue to work, but it is recommended

maxMsgSize = 8192
|
|
|
|
maxObjSize = 500000

|
|
|
|
iCal 2.0 journal
|
|
|
|
* added --enable-static-cxa = linking C++ runtime statically:
|
|
|
|
binaries produced for 0.6 will have less external
|
|
|
|
dependencies than the 0.5 binaries
|
|
|
|
* added hacks for Maemo/Nokia 770, including a build
|
|
|
|
mode with dynamically loadable modules (--enable-shared, --enable-maemo,
|
|
|
|
--with-patched-dbus)
|
|
|
|
* implemented synccompare as pure Perl script using Algorithm::Diff
|
|
|
|
instead of external diff tool
|
|
|
|
* synccompare did not figure out width of shell window as it should have
|
|
|
|
* better error handling if creating the before/after database dumps
|
|
|
|
fails (SF #1685637)
|
|
|
|
* example configs are now installed in share/doc/syncevolution,
|
|
|
|
enabled message limit and large object support in them
|
|
|
|
* workaround for Funambol 3.0 trailing = parser bug
|

|
UPGRADING
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Old config files continue to work, but it is recommended
|
|
|
|
to set the following options to enable message size limits:
|
|
|
|
maxMsgSize = 8192
|
|
|
|
maxObjSize = 500000
|
|
|
|
loSupport = 1

SyncEvolution 0.4 -> 0.5, 12.11.2006
|
2006-11-11 21:21:52 +01:00
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* C++ client library revision "syncevolution-0-5":
|
|
|
|
- added support for sending changes in smaller chunks
|
|
|
|
("Large Object Support"): disabled by default, see updated
|
|
|
|
example configuration
|
|
|
|
- time is printed with GMT offset so that a server admin in
|
|
|
|
a different timezone can always figure out how a client log
|
|
|
|
relates to events on the server
|
2006-11-12 13:46:22 +01:00
|
|
|
- special item keys as they might be stored in some calendars after
|
|
|
|
importing non-Evolution events are now properly supported
|
2006-11-11 21:21:52 +01:00
|
|
|
* bug fix: in 0.4 it was necessary to manually configure the verDTD
|
|
|
|
or the Funambol 3.0a server would choke on the invalid SyncML during
|
|
|
|
the second synchronization with SyncEvolution; now this option is set
|
|
|
|
automatically
|
|
|
|
* added support and testing of transmitting just the changes
|
|
|
|
from client to server or vice versa; see "one-way-from-server/client"
|
|
|
|
in example configuration
|
|
|
|
* fixed/updated comments in the example configuration
|
|
|
|
* improved automated testing and fixed the problem that CPPUnit was not
|
|
|
|
found unless it was part of the system
|
|
|
|
* Now works on Maemo/Nokia 770: minor changes were necessary so that
|
|
|
|
the system address book can now be selected under the name "<<system>>.
|
|
|
|
Copying 300 contacts into the Nokia 770 went fine, but any further
|
|
|
|
attempt to synchronize suffered from timeouts inside the embedded
|
|
|
|
Evolution Data Server.

SyncEvolution 0.3 -> 0.4, 11.09.2006
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* C++ client library revision "syncevolution-0-4":
|
|
|
|
- added support for device information, required by some servers
|
|
|
|
- fixed incompatibilities with non-Funambol servers
|
|
|
|
- the user agent string can now be modified in the
|
|
|
|
spds/syncml/config.txt, but it is recommended to not set
|
|
|
|
it explicitly. Then SyncEvolution will automatically insert
|
|
|
|
its current version.
|
|
|
|
- #305795: for tasks the "text/x-todo" type from the configuration
|
|
|
|
was sent to servers instead of the correct "text/calendar"
|
|
|
|
provided by SyncEvolution itself
|
|
|
|
- sync modes "refresh-client/server" can now be specified as
|
|
|
|
"refresh-from-client/server" in the config
|
|
|
|
* updated default syncml/config.txt:
|
|
|
|
- firstTimeSyncMode has never been implemented in the library,
|
|
|
|
removed its documentation,
|
|
|
|
- added documentation for userAgent
|
|
|
|
- use "refresh-from-client/server"
|
|
|
|
* SF issue 1511951: support copying changes back from EGroupware
|
|
|
|
server by not expecting the UID of calendar items to be unmodified
|
|
|
|
* fixed a bug where after a refresh-from-client sync changes would
|
|
|
|
be sent to the server again during a two-way sync although the
|
|
|
|
server already had them
|
|
|
|
* implemented authentication for Evolution databases
|
|
|
|
* synccompare was removing too many parts of vCards with
|
|
|
|
single-value ORG properties
|
|
|
|
* improved error reporting when selected server is not configured
|
|
|
|
* changed vCard parser to make it compatible with servers
|
|
|
|
which send a verbatim semicolon as part of properties where
|
|
|
|
the semicolon has no special meaning
|
|
|
|
* If minor errors occur like not being able to insert an
|
|
|
|
item at the client or server side, then it is reported in the
|
|
|
|
log and output, but the next synchronization will be a normal
|
|
|
|
synchronization, not a forced slow one as in previous versions.
|
|
|
|
The old approach ensured that the problem was noticed and fixed,
|
|
|
|
but required user assistance. With the new approach synchronization
|
|
|
|
continues to work, although without fixing the root cause of
|
|
|
|
the problem.
|
|
|
|
* Workaround for bug in Evolution 2.0.6 (and perhaps other versions):
|
|
|
|
for calendars and task lists not all deleted items were reported
|
|
|
|
at once thus a single synchronization would only tell the server
|
|
|
|
about a subset of the changes. Repeating the synchronization would
|
|
|
|
eventually be told of all changes, so now this repetition is built
|
|
|
|
into the code which queries for changes and a single synchronization
|
|
|
|
is sufficient as it should be.

SyncEvolution 0.4 pre2 -> 0.4, 11.09.2006
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* adapted to C++ client library from CVS head, tagged as syncevolution-0-4:
|
2006-09-07 23:05:56 +02:00
|
|
|
devinfo.patch patch was merged with several changes to the API
|
|
|
|
* SF issue 1511951: support copying changes back from EGroupware
|
|
|
|
server by not expecting the UID of calendar items to be unmodified

SyncEvolution 0.4 pre1 -> pre2, 21.08.2006
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
2006-08-21 22:32:15 +02:00
|
|
|
* C++ client library revision "syncevolution-0-4-pre2":
|
|
|
|
most patches were merged into CVS head, but .patches/devinfo.patch
|
|
|
|
still needs to be applied manually when checking out from the
|
|
|
|
Funambol CVS instead of using the bundled version
|
2006-08-17 23:39:29 +02:00
|
|
|
* fixed a bug where after a refresh-from-client sync changes would
|
|
|
|
be sent to the server again during a two-way sync although the
|
|
|
|
server already had them
|
2006-08-17 22:26:08 +02:00
|
|
|
* implemented authentication for Evolution databases
|
2006-08-15 21:20:20 +02:00
|
|
|
* synccompare was removing too many parts of vCards with
|
|
|
|
single-value ORG properties
|
2006-08-14 22:52:34 +02:00
|
|
|
* improved error reporting when selected server is not configured
|
2006-08-21 22:32:15 +02:00
|
|
|
* use 7-bit quoted-printable encoding with explicit UTF-8 charset for
|
|
|
|
vCard 2.1 to avoid any potential confusion about the content; not
|
|
|
|
really necessary because SyncML specifies 8-bit UTF-8 as the default
|
2006-08-13 22:14:34 +02:00
|
|
|
* fix for 0.4 pre 1: sending CHARSET is not allowed (and not
|
|
|
|
needed) for vCard 3.0, so it was removed again (did not harm
|
|
|
|
either)
|
|
|
|
* fix for 0.4 pre 1: sending vCard 2.1 to Synthesis server did
|
|
|
|
not work because the new device info always mentioned 3.0 as
|
|
|
|
the preferred format - now the preferred format matches the one
|
|
|
|
that was configured and that thus will be used.

|
------------------------------------------
|
2006-08-06 09:56:41 +02:00
|
|
|
* C++ client library revision "funambol30ga" plus the patches
|
|
|
|
stored in its ".patches" directory:
|
|
|
|
- the user agent string can now be modified in the
|
|
|
|
spds/syncml/config.txt, but it is recommended to not set
|
|
|
|
it explicitly. Then SyncEvolution will automatically insert
|
|
|
|
its current version.
|
|
|
|
- now compatible with additional servers (fixed some SyncML
|
|
|
|
protocol issues, added support for sending device
|
|
|
|
information)
|
|
|
|
- revised API of the client library
|
|
|
|
- #305795: for tasks the "text/x-todo" type from the configuration
|
|
|
|
was sent to servers instead of the correct "text/calendar"
|
|
|
|
provided by SyncEvolution itself
|
2006-08-06 17:48:58 +02:00
|
|

- sync modes "refresh-client/server" can now be specified as
|
|
|
|
"refresh-from-client/server" in the config
|
2006-08-06 14:41:50 +02:00
|
|

|
|
|
|
- firstTimeSyncMode has never been implemented in the library,
|
|
|

removed its documentation,
|
|
|

|
2006-08-06 09:56:41 +02:00

|
2006-07-23 06:42:41 +02:00
|
|
|
which send a verbatim semicolon as part of properties where
|

|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* added syncing of calendars and tasks as iCalendar 2.0
|
|
|
|
* added syncing of contacts as vCard 3.0
|
|
|
|
* tested extensively with sync.scheduleworld.com and
|
|
|
|
added an example configuration for it
|
|
|
|
* uses C++ client library revision "wmplugin_3_0_20"
|
|
|
|
which contains several bug fixes, among them proper
|
|
|
|
support for special characters and memory handling
|
|
|
|
fixes
|
|
|
|
* much nicer listing of changes made during a sync,
|
|
|
|
handled by the improved "synccompare" utility script
|
|
|
|
(formerly known as "normalize_vcard")
|
|

|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
2006-06-12 23:21:47 +02:00
|
|
|
* added automatic backup mechanism and log storage,
|
2006-03-19 22:37:30 +01:00
|
|
|
see "Automatic Backups and Logging".
|
2006-06-12 23:21:47 +02:00
|
|
|
* output no longer is the original log data, but rather
|
2006-03-19 22:37:30 +01:00
|
|
|
a human-readable report of errors and synchronization
|
|
|
|
results.
|
|
|
|
* "normalize_vcard" can now also compare two .vcf files
|
|
|
|
directly.
|
|
|
|
* improved unit tests to catch more errors
|
|
|
|
* hide certain differences in vcards coming back from
|
|
|
|
the server: duplication of extended vcard properties,
|
|
|
|
missing TYPE=OTHER
|
|
|
|
* fixed client library problems:
|
|
|
|
see http://forge.objectweb.org/tracker/?group_id=96&atid=100096
|
|
|
|
#304792, #304829
