SyncEvolution 1.2 released

Submitted by Patrick Ohly, updated on 28 Nov 2011 - 01:27 - 2 comments

Type:

The major new feature of the 1.2 release is support for non-SyncML protocols in general and CalDAV/CardDAV in particular. ActiveSync support is in development and will be in 1.3. These protocols are implemented as backends which are combined with other backends by SyncEvolution in a so called "local sync". The GTK sync-ui does not yet support configuring non-SyncML protocols. See the README.rst and man page for more information on how to use the new feature via the command line.Read more

The state of syncing in open source

Submitted by Patrick Ohly, updated on 15 Apr 2011 - 09:29 - 3 comments

There have been two blog posts recently who point out that data synchronization using open source tools still doesn't work as well as it should:

As someone who has worked hard on making synchronization suck less I can't let this stand without commenting... in particular not when SyncEvolution is mentioned as not being reliable! ;-)Read more

SyncEvolution 1.0 released

Submitted by Patrick Ohly, updated on 16 Jun 2010 - 08:52 - 0 comments

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
