SyncEvolution 1.0.1
===================
A bug fix release. The main reason for releasing it is that
SyncEvolution 1.0 no longer worked on recent distros (Fedora Core 13,
Debian testing) because of a name clash between the Bluez D-Bus
utility code and recent glib.
Details:
* compile fix for FC 13 (and possibly others): use private copy of gdbus (BMC #3556)
* sync-ui: prevent overwriting device configs by accident (MBC #3566,1194)
Setting up a phone used the template name as config name and overwrote
an existing configuration of another phone that was created using that
same template. Now the code uses the Bluetooth device name as set on the
device and checks for (less likely) collisions. It also sanitizes the
name to avoid complicated config names (only relevant when also using
the command line).
* syncevo-dbus-server: accept 'application/vnd.syncml+xml; charset=UTF-8' for
starting an HTTP session (BMC #3554)
The redundant charset specification was set by the Funambol
Thunderbird client. Because of a literal comparison against
'application/vnd.syncml+xml' the messages were rejected.
* config fix: operations on non-peer configs failed (BMC #3157)
When running operations on a non-peer configuration (like --restore @default
addressbook), the operation fails with
[ERROR] <source name>: type 'select backend' not supported
*
ZYB.com: service goes away end of June 2010, template removed (BMC #3310)
* some build (BMC #2586, BMC #3557) and language updates
Source, Installation, Further information
=========================================
Source snapshots are in
http://downloads.syncevolution.org/syncevolution/sources
i386, amd64 and lpia binaries of 1.0 for Debian-based distributions are
available via the "stable"
syncevolution.org repository. Add the
following entry to your /apt/source.list, then install
"syncevolution-evolution":
<code>
deb
http://downloads.syncevolution.org/apt stable main
</code>
These binaries include the "sync-ui" GTK GUI and were compiled for
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy). Older distributions like Debian 4.0 (Etch) can
no longer be supported with precompiled binaries because of missing
libraries, but the source still compiles when not enabling the GUI (the
default).
The same binaries are also available as .tar.gz and .rpm archives in
http://downloads.syncevolution.org/syncevolution/evolution. In contrast
to 0.8.x archives, the 1.0 .tar.gz archives have to be unpacked and the
content must be moved to /usr, because several files would not be found
otherwise.
After installation, follow the
http://syncevolution.org/documentation/getting-started steps.
