SyncEvolution has definitely grown beyond my own, private spare-time project. Therefore we have created a dedicated web site for it at http://syncevolution.org. Right now the old pages and files are still around, but I’ll turn that into HTTP redirects soon.
Regarding this blog: I intend to keep it around to provide my personal opinions and updates, [...]
While I was away on my family vacation, the SyncEvolution branch with the new GTK GUI and various other improvements was published as part of the Moblin 2.0 beta release.
Since then we have added some minor fixes and improvements and later released the source as SyncEvolution 0.9 beta 2.
Changes
A GTK GUI! The “sync-ui” program depends [...]
When I started this blog, I wanted to keep it limited to my private open source work and not write about the work that I do as part of my regular software engineering job at Intel. That distinction is mute now because as of January this year, my main job at Intel is about SyncEvolution [...]
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 [...]
Prereleases have been around for a while and were even recommended for new installations. There haven’t been any bug reports for the latest beta packages, so it was time to put the gears into action, get the compilers running and spin some nice packages for the final 0.8 release…
Available Packages
The usual number of packages are [...]
I have tagged SyncEvolution 0.8 beta 2 and uploaded a source snapshot. The biggest change in this snapshot was a reorganization of the source code and how it is compiled, with the intention of completely decoupling the core SyncEvolution from its backends. It is now possible to add a backend and compile it into a [...]
Recently I was asked whether there is an announcement mailing list for SyncEvolution. There is none; instead I started to announce new versions or major changes here on this blog. But because not everyone is using blog readers and visiting web pages to check for updates is tedious, I have installed the post notification plugin.
On [...]
I have tagged and compiled beta 1 of SyncEvolution 0.8. In contrast to the previous alpha, this one is considered stable and ready for wider testing and usage. Therefore I have prepared the full range of binary packages, including Mac OS X (which I had skipped in the alpha). There is no iPhone package, because [...]
Frederik has released 0.3.1 of Genesis, his slick GUI for SyncEvolution. Being a command line junkie I’m not using it myself, but if you prefer a GUI, then I recommend that you give it a try. Oh, and tell Frederik that you like it, because it will required further work when combined with the upcoming [...]
I have prepared a first snapshot of what is going to become release 0.8. In contrast to previous pre-releases this one is still a bit rough and I am skipping some manual testing in order to get it out before leaving for a two-week business trip. But some people have asked for features that are [...]
