SyncEvolution 1.0.1

A bug fix release.Read more

After several betas and lot of testing, it's finally time to announce the end of the 1.0 development cycle: SyncEvolution 1.0 is released and replaces 0.9.2 as the stable version.

0.1 was released over four years ago. It has always bee part of the long-term vision to bring "personal SyncML" to desktops. Thanks to the Synthesis engine and Intel's support for the project, this goal has been reached and this release really deserves the magic 1.0 label.

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. Up to and including 0.9.2, a third-party SyncML server was required. In 1.0, SyncEvolution itself is able to act as a SyncML server, both via HTTP and Bluetooth (direct sync with phones).Read more

SyncEvolution 1.0 beta 3 is available. This release is feature complete and has been tested thoroughly, so only minor bug fixes are expected before releasing 1.0. Beta 3 is ready for day-to-day use and for getting packaged in staging distros as replacement for 0.9.2 or previous betas. If you find issues, please report them.

Binary packages are provided, including Bluetooth support. Major improvements:

• automatic, time-driven synchronization in the background
• command line integrates properly into the daemon concept
• full support for suspend&resume and message resend when using SyncEvolution as client and server
• compatible with more phones
• a tool to determine a working configuration for a phone automatically ("syncevo-phone-config")

Because the release of 1.0 is close, the documentation on syncevolution.org is getting updated to cover it. A Wiki was set up as part of the site to simplify the editing of certain pages, in particular HOWTOs and compatibility reports.

Call for action: test with your phone and report which config works and how well.Read more

SyncEvolution 1.0 beta 2 is available. Binary packages are provided, including Bluetooth support this time. Major improvements:Read more

• easier setup of a phone with the sync-ui and GNOME Bluetooth plugin
• prevention of slow sync enabled by default and integrated into sync-ui
• recovery dialog and restore from backup in sync-ui
• database dumps and comparisons more efficient

SyncEvolution 0.9.2 and 1.0 beta are available. 0.9.2 replaces 0.9.1 as the official stable release. Binary packages are provided. Changes in both releases are listed below.Read more

Today we are releasing SyncEvolution 1.0 alpha 1, a development snapshot, "because we can" :-)

In particular, we can:Read more

• synchronize directly with a phone over Bluetooth/OBEX
• accept Bluetooth/OBEX connections in cooperation with obexd 0.19
• run SyncEvolution as a rudimentary HTTP SyncML server
• be reasonably sure that it compiles and runs as well as 0.9.x because it passes the same nightly testing without known regressions

SyncEvolution 0.9.1 is available. It replaces 0.9 as the official stable release. Changes since that version are listed below. Changes made between beta releases (for those who helped testing them) are documented in the beta release announcement.

There are some known issues, see below. The more issues get reported and fixed, the sooner there will be a 0.9.2 maintenance update, so keep the reports coming. If you want to report something or get involved, then contact the team.Read more

SyncEvolution 0.9.1 beta 2 is available, release after fixing all issues which were found in beta 1. It is going to replace 0.9 as the official stable release soon, so this is the chance to find and report problems before they sneak into the final 0.9.1 - die, bugs, die!Read more
