SyncEvolution 2.0.0#
This release modernizes the code base and removes usage of out-dated libraries and APIs. All Python scripts require Python 3. The major version bump reflects that this release is not just a minor bug fix. However, no new features were added.
Binaries on syncevolution.org get built for distros >= Ubuntu Bionic and Debian Buster. Testing is now based on Docker containers instead of a custom schroot solution, so adding testing against other distros will be easier in the future. Compilation on Fedora Rawhide was already added.
Some features are no longer built and thus untested:
ActiveSync
KDE
The code is still there, but needs help from interested developers to ensure that it really works. It may get removed in a future version if there is no interest.
