SyncEvolution Description

Open source CLI program that will help you synchronize all your personal information SyncEvolution synchronizes personal information management (PIM) data like contacts, calenders, tasks and memos via the SyncML information synchronization standard.Compiled for Nokia 770/800/810 Internet Tablets, Mac OS X and the iPhone (only 0.7), it supports synchronizing the system address book. The command-line tool 'syncevolution' (compiled separately for each of these platforms) executes the synchronization.The items are exchanged in the vCard 2.1/3.0, iCalender 2.0 and textual format via the open source Funambol C++ client API library, which makes SyncEvolution compatible with the majority of SyncML servers. Full, one-way and incremental synchronization of items are supported.Starting with version 0.8, SyncEvolution can synchronize arbitrary data on all platforms by storing each item in a separate file of a configurable directory.The content of each data item is preserved verbatim and this is useful for scripted data modifications, server backups, and synchronizing different servers. What's New in This Release: · Enabled calendar and task synchronization for myFunambol.com. Not all iCalendar 2.0 features are supported by the server, most notably support for meetings (drops attendees), meeting invitations (drops UID), detached recurrences (drops RECURRENCE-ID). See README.funambol for details. · Interoperability with the Funambol server was improved by adding support for some vCard extensions (X-MANAGER/ASSISTANT/SPOUSE/ANNIVERSARY, Bugzilla #2418). Lost ACTION property is worked around (#2422). · Synchronization with Google Contacts was enabled and tested. A configuration template for that server is now provided. Google follows the vCard 2.1 specification and thus does not support some of the vCard 3.0 additions, nor some of the common extensions. As a result, several properties are not synchronized (nickname, birthday, spouse/manager, URLs, ...). Only one top-level organization seems to be supported. For details, see README.google. · Regarding Google's SyncML support, refresh-from-client and one-way-from-client sync modes are not supported. Deleting contacts moves them out of the main address without deleting them permanently. When adding such a contact again, the server discards the data sent by the client and recreates the contact with the data that it remembered. · SSL certificate checking with libsoup (the default transport) is now supported (#2431). However, libsoup/gnutls are very strict about SSL certificate checking and reject version 1 certificates, like the one used by Verisign for Google (#4551). At the moment the only solution is to fall back to plain http in the Google configuration template. · CTRL-C no longer kills SyncEvolution right away. Instead it asks the server to suspend the session. If that takes too long, then pressing CTRL-C twice quickly will abort the sync without waiting for the server (warning, this may lead to a slow sync in the next session). · WBXML is enabled by default now, except for Funambol (#2415). Using WBXML reduces message sizes and increases parsing performance. It was not enabled initially in the 0.9 releases in order to test this new feature more thoroughly. Old configs don't have an explicit enableWBXML setting and therefore will automatically use the new default. Various bug fixes and improvements: · only show servers in GUI which are tested and supported (Bugzilla #3336) · a single log file is written in .html format (#3474) · added several translations of the GUI · lots of testing improvements, build binary packages again
