Hi! Progress since last week: SyncEvolution 0.9 beta 3 was released. Google contact sync is now officially supported. This required some last-minute (and post release, duh) tweaks because Google only supports https, but SSL certificate checking with libsoup/libgnutls of that particular certificate fails, despite having the CA certs in Moblin now. A patch for libsoup was submitted and accepted, but because it is not in Moblin, certificate checking had to be disabled for Google. We are giving 0.9 some more time for testing, in particular for server interoperability (ZYB.com, mobical.net, some issues with ScheduleWorld). To encourage feedback from users, binaries for non-Moblin Linux desktops were also prepared as part of the beta 3. Development: * Congwu: analysis of Google problems (ORG #4631, image size limitation #4638, MaxObjSize behavior #4635), implemented first revision of message resending (#3427) * Yongsheng: mobical.net analysis and discussion with Tactel (#3009) * Patrick: 0.9 beta 3 release, added test cases for ScheduleWorld problem with slow syncs (#4703), added ZYB.com to nightly testing so that the logs showing the anchor problem are available (#2424), fixed regression in printing of command line error message (#4676), analyzed libsoup/gnutls issue with Google's SSL certificate and added workaround (#4551) -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.
