SyncEvolution 1.1
=================
An incremental update, resolving issues where the fixes would have
been too intrusive for a 1.0.x release. It replaces 1.0.x as the
officially supported stable version.
Compatibility with Nokia phones was improved. Some new features were also
included (command line options for manipulating items [1], backends for MeeGo PIM
storages).

For those not familiar with the project, SyncEvolution synchronizes
personal information management (PIM) data like contacts, calenders,
tasks, and memos using the SyncML information synchronization standard.
Support for additional protocols is under way. Up to and including 0.9.2,
a third-party SyncML server was required. Since 1.0, SyncEvolution itself
is able to act as a SyncML server, both via HTTP and Bluetooth (direct
sync with phones).
Details:
* bug fix in sync-ui: wrong direction of one-way data transfers with devices (BMC #7091)
* bug fix in syncevo-dbus-server: incorrect Presence status after config change (BMC
#8453)
Shows up in sync-ui as "'Sync Now' button active after creating a config
while offline".
* sync-ui (GTK version): app is now listed as "SyncEvolution (GTK)" under
"Office"
* Nokia phones: avoid data loss in two-way sync due to X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT (BMC #2566)
* Nokia phones: alarm times in UTC, sending PHOTO (BMC #1657, #5860)
* included all phone templates submitted to
syncevolution.org Wiki (BMC #5727)
* syncevo-phone-config: set consumerReady in output, more useful for Wiki (BMC #3803)
* workaround for D-Bus timeouts in EDS libecal/libebook (BMC #4026)
* added generic command line options for importing, exporting, updating, listing
and deleting items in the different backends
* added backends for mKCal and QtContacts (MeeGo PIM storage),
meant to be used for manipulating this data on the command line
* enhanced D-Bus interface (BMC #3558, #3559, #3560, #3562, #3563, #7761, #7766)
* the command line tool now warns when running against a different D-Bus daemon (BMC
#3563)
* creating and configuring sources in a context (without peer-specific
properties) is now supported
* improved documentation: README.rst, man page, and --help output
* fixed some compile issues (BMC #6367), improved nightly testing
Source, Installation, Further information
=========================================
http://syncevolution.org/blogs/pohly/2010/syncevolution-11-released
Source snapshots are in
http://downloads.syncevolution.org/syncevolution/sources
i386, amd64 and lpia binaries 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":
deb
http://downloads.syncevolution.org/apt stable main
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.x .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.
