SyncEvolution 0.9 beta 1 -> 0.9 beta 2, 15.05.2009
--------------------------------------------------
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.
