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 + + +SyncEvolution 0.8 beta 2 -> 0.8 final, 29.08.2008 +------------------------------------------------- +C++ client library: 7.0 plus compatibility patch for Synthesis + +* license cleanup: SyncEvolution is GPL v2 or later + + +SyncEvolution 0.8 beta 2 -> 0.8 beta 3, 17.08.2008 -------------------------------------------------- C++ client library: 7.0 plus compatibility patch for Synthesis diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index 6fef6d8d..ecfd2cc9 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +syncevolution (1:0.8) unstable; urgency=low + + * final SyncEvolution 0.8 + + -- Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly@gmx.de> Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:58:56 +0200 + syncevolution (1:0.7+0.8-beta3) unstable; urgency=low * third beta of SyncEvolution 0.8 |
