SyncEvolution 0.9 -> 0.9.1, 26.10.2009
|
||||
======================================
|
||||
Synthesis SyncML Engine version: see src/synthesis/ChangeLog
|
||||
|
||||
Mobical and Memotoo are now officially supported.
|
||||
|
||||
Memotoo uses vCard 2.1 with several Evolution specific extensions. It
|
||||
uses iCalendar 2.0, however, without actually supporting the advanced
|
||||
features of it. Times are converted to UTC and meeting information are
|
||||
lost.
|
||||
|
||||
Mobical uses vCard 2.1 and vCalendar 1.0 as data formats, with the
|
||||
result that many properties used in Evolution are not supported by the
|
||||
server. In particular calendar support is very limited (known issues
|
||||
when events are in time zones different from the one selected locally
|
||||
and on the server, no support for meetings). For details see
|
||||
README.mobical.
|
||||
|
||||
*** Beware *** that the Mobical SyncML password is *not* the same as
|
||||
the one for their web site. Log into mobical.net, then go to "my accounts
|
||||
>> configure new device >> manual settings" to find the SyncML
|
||||
credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
It is now possible to compile database backends outside of
|
||||
SyncEvolution, install them and have SyncEvolution use them
|
||||
automatically like any other backend. The backend API has been
|
||||
enhanced considerably. For example, backend developers have
|
||||
access to a modular set of utility classes that can be mixed
|
||||
into a specific implementation. Backends can access the internal
|
||||
Synthesis representation directly and therefore no longer need
|
||||
their own vCard/vCalendar/iCalendar parser.
|
||||
|
||||
The sqlite demo backend can be enabled and compiled again with
|
||||
--enable-sqlite. It demonstrates how to map directly from the
|
||||
Synthesis field list to some internal format (an SQLite database
|
||||
schema in this case).
|
||||
|
||||
Other changes:
|
||||
|
||||
* Resend messages to cope with intermittent loss of network
|
||||
connectivity (Moblin Bugzilla #3427). See the new "ResendDuration"
|
||||
and "ResendDelay" configuration properties for details.
|
||||
|
||||
* SyncEvolution command line uses the GNOME keyring when
|
||||
the new --keyring option is given.
|
||||
|
||||
* The logging of added and updated items was enhanced. Events,
|
||||
tasks and memos are logged with a short description instead of
|
||||
just the local ID. The description for contacts was improved.
|
||||
|
||||
* Receiving photos from Mobical failed because Mobical
|
||||
does not quite follow the vCard 2.1 (Moblin Bugzilla #6668).
|
||||
Sending photos worked, but added a few bytes of garbage
|
||||
at the end of each photo (typically ignored when showing).
|
||||
Parser was made more tolerant by Synthesis and encoder bug
|
||||
was fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
* Task priorities used by Mobical and Evolution did not match:
|
||||
vCalendar 1.0 uses 1-3, iCalendar 2.0 uses 1-9 (MB #6664).
|
||||
SyncEvolution now translates between the two ranges, with
|
||||
some information getting lost when talking to a peer which
|
||||
only supports the smaller range.
|
||||
|
||||
* Importing work and home phone numbers from Google into desktop
|
||||
Evolution works better, because SyncEvolution now adds the "VOICE"
|
||||
flag expected by Evolution (MB#6501).
|
||||
|
||||
* SSL certificate checking with Google is enabled by default
|
||||
and enabled in Moblin, because libsoup in that distro has
|
||||
the necessary fix. Without that fix, all connection attempts
|
||||
fail. The binaries on syncevolution.org are compiled with
|
||||
--disable-ssl-certificate-check, so users who want the
|
||||
additional security must enable it.
|
||||
|
||||
* .rpms on syncevolution.org no longer specify a dependency
|
||||
on certain Perl features. This depencency was a problem on
|
||||
Mandriva. Unwanted hard dependencies on libecal in syncevolution.org
|
||||
binaries are avoided for real this time (MB#6552).
|
||||
|
||||
* Some sync-UI enhancements (describe sync services, avoid crash
|
||||
with very long input in some of the text boxes (MB#5219), set
|
||||
application icon, improved some strings).
|
||||
|
||||
* sync-UI: now disables sources which are not supported when
|
||||
setting up a configuration, like memos on Moblin (MB #6672).
|
||||
Previously the source was enabled, which prevented using
|
||||
using the configuration as-is on the command line.
|
||||
|
||||
* The sync UI allowed to enable calendar and task synchronization
|
||||
with Google although Google does not support that (MB#5871).
|
||||
In new installations this is prevented by clearing the URI
|
||||
for those data categories.
|
||||
|
||||
* Trying to remove a non-existent configuration via the command
|
||||
line now raises an error, to catch typos (MB #6673).
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved checks which logs in the logdir belong to the current
|
||||
server (MB#5215).
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved sanity checking of integer configuration parameters
|
||||
(MB#6500).
|
||||
|
||||
* Spelling fix: "aboring" => "aborting"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Known issue:
|
||||
|
||||
* Mobical and Memotoo do not have a description in the GUI yet.
|
||||
|
||||
* ZYB.com is not supported because of a known anchor handling
|
||||
problem in the server (MB#2424).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading from 0.9:
|
||||
|
||||
* nothing to do, upgrading and downgrading should work seamlessly

||||
