Hi!
This list is from Monday morning. Because of the preparations for 0.9
beta 3 and the mailing list issues I didn't sent it out earlier. Since
then, Google contact sync was merged. It's the first SyncML server with
SSL support. However, the certificate checking remains problematic with
libsoup/gnutls (Bugzilla #2431).
Intel QA did a full test and came to the conclusion that SyncEvolution
basically works as intended. Some issues in the GUI were found and since
then fixed. All the code issues for SyncEvolution 0.9 are now resolved.
As long as time permits, we keep working on server interoperability as
the main remaining work item for SyncEvolution 0.9:
* We finished testing of Funambol calendar and todo support and
enabled it, in addition to resting contact and notes support.
* Google contact sync is analyzed and ready to be merged. The
server is more limited than others (no refresh from client sync)
and has some unusual server-side policies (contacts cannot be
removed completely by client, which is problematic for testing
and leads to data loss when the server decides to preserve its
own, older copy instead of adding a newer version of the same
contact again).
* ZYB.com/Vodafone sync used to work, but currently fails to do
two-way syncs (anchor mismatch, root cause unknown). ZYB is
working with us on this.
Automated testing is fully operational now. It covers compilation with
multiple different Evolution releases/Linux distros via chroots in 32
and 64 bit mode, strict compiler warning checking, valgrind testing
(including leaks). Binaries are packaged for those users who want to
test/use the latest release but cannot build from source.
Development progress:
* Yongsheng: analyzed ZYB.com test failures (unexpected slow sync
due to local setting changes, unsupported properties, currently
fails due to anchor mismatch); finished Funambol testing
* Congwu: Google contact sync workarounds (improved libsynthesis
statistics code to cope with less informative status codes),
suspend/resume tests with Funambol (fails in some cases due to
server deficienies); OVI.com sync impossible (no credentials -
need assistance from Nokia, but don't have contact)
* Jussi: fixed password handling regressions, insufficient button
size in some locales, updated translation README
* Patrick: redirect stderr into log file to hide GNOME
debug/warning output from user, unified logging into .html file,
nightly testing on several platforms, SSL certificate checking
in Moblin (ca-certificates package still needs to be integrated
by distro team), Debian EDS crash (fatal errors in libical)
