ubuntu evolution 于　Google calendar 同步

0.8.1 fixes issues which affected some (three?) users, details below. If 0.8 works for you, there’s no reason to upgrade. New binaries would also have been needed for Evolution 2.24, which was released two weeks ago and will be in major distributions soon. 0.8.1 supports all Evolution releases from 2.6.3 to 2.24 in the same binary. 2.6.1 in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS might also work now – in contrast to the other Evolution releases this has not been tested, though.

Available Packages

The following packages are available:

for Evolution (x86 and AMD64), both as .tar.gz and .deb
for Mac OS X (a fat binary for PPC and x86)
for Maemo (ITOS 2008, should work on Chinook and Diablo)
source code

The Evolution packages were renamed from syncevolution-evolution-2.6/8/12 to just syncevolution-evolution. When upgrading via apt, then you’ll notice that your old syncevolution-evolution-2.xx is “on hold”. Simply tell apt to install the new package and let it remove the old one:

# aptitude install syncevolution-evolution

Changes

Evolution calendar: regression in 0.8: one-way sync of virtual birthday calendar (#2095433).“refresh-from-client” works again for the birthday calendar. Other modes are not supported. In contrast to previous releases SyncEvolution now does some sanity checks that the sync mode is right.
Mac OS X: removing old logdirs failed (#2087389). Fixed.
SyncML client library: “Expect: 100-continue” header resulted in 417 error with certain proxies (#2101015).Now this header is always disabled; it doesn’t make much sense with SyncML anyway.
The development of the Funambol C++ client library is now tracked in a git repository on github.com. Modifications and tags for SyncEvolution are checked in there. The configure script checks out the right sources from there automatically; can be controlled via --with-funambol-src parameter.
Evolution desktop: the version of the used Evolution libraries is included in the “--version” output and log files.
Cleaned up README. Kudos to Martin Wetterstedt for pointing out mistakes in the README and the web site.
