Known Problems
--------------
- Evolution (at least in 2.0.4 and 2.4.2.1) exports the classification
of phone numbers incorrectly: e.g. "Business Fax" becomes
TEL;TYPE=WORK;TYPE=WORK where it probably should be
TEL;TYPE=WORK;TYPE=FAX. The effect is that in exported
phone numbers the differentiation between e.g. fax and voice is
lost.
- Evolution 2.0.4 and 2.4.2.1 still display the old content of a contact
which was updated during a certain test (TestEvolution::testMerge).
Exact reason unknown, needs to be investigated.
