Roadmap

Such a big word for such a little piece of software… also note that is not a plan set in stone. Anyway, here we go:

SyncEvolution 0.3: 27.06.2006 :

• to be released when it works well with ScheduleWorld

• command line tool feature complete (only exception: authentication for Evolution databases)

SyncEvolution 0.4: 11.09.2006 :

• Funambol C++ client library with all patches required for improved server compatibility merged into the regular CVS

• authentication for Evolution databases which need that (like Exchange Connector)

SyncEvolution 0.5: 12.11.2006 :

• mostly bug fixes

• additional SyncML features (large object support, one-way syncs)

SyncEvolution 0.6: 09.07.2007 :

• support for Nokia 770/800: system address book works, calendar requires further work in the system libraries

• added synchronization of notes

• improved documentation and installation

• workarounds for Evolution’s slightly broken handling of event categories and a problem in the Funambol 3.0 contact parser

• minor bug fixes

• updated SyncML library

SyncEvolution 0.7: 21.12.2007 :

• support contacts on iPhone and Mac OS X

• improved usability (command line options, output)

• maintenance (bug fixes, updated SyncML library)

• precompiled packages for Evolution and Nokia Internet Tables in an APT repository; 64 bit binaries

SyncEvolution 0.8: 01.09.2008 :

• redesigned configuration handling, easier setup

• support exceptions to recurring events: the exceptions are not synchronized by versions <= 0.7

• calendar synchronization for Dates on Maemo/Nokia Internet Tablets

• improved time zone support for Evolution

• all feature requests from SourceForge: password handling, additional SSL options

SyncEvolution 0.8.1: 11.10.2008 :

• minor fixes

• single binary for all supported Evolution releases

SyncEvolution 0.9 beta 1: 13.05.2009 :

• switch to Synthesis SyncML Engine

• integration into Moblin (libsoup instead of libcurl)

• Beta 1 is usable, but mostly a proof-of-concept. It does not replace 0.8.1 as the official stable release!

SyncEvolution 0.9: 12.08.2009 :

• native GTK sync-UI GUI

• first stable release based on Synthesis engine

SyncEvolution 0.9.1: 26.10.2009 :

• Mobical and Memotoo officially supported

• lots of improvements

SyncEvolution 0.9.2: January 2010 :

• accumulated fixes and translation updates

SyncEvolution 1.0: March 2010 :

• direct synchronization with phones

• “personal” SyncML server

SyncEvolution 1.1: October 2010 :

• improved direct synchronization with phones

• command line options for manipulating items

• backends for QtContacts and KCal in MeeGo

Information for releases since then can be found in the blog. For the future, only maintenance releases are planned.
