[SyncEvolution] status 2009-08-18

Hello! I didn't send around a summary last week, so this one here covers two weeks. The big topic of course were the SyncEvolution 0.9 release and the on-going API discussions, covering backends (SyncSource), peers (OBEX) and GUIs. Expect more information about the SyncEvolution 1.0 schedule soon. Development one week ago: * Yongsheng: almost completed mobical.net interoperability testing and fixing, pending review; improvements to nightly testing output * Congwu: simplified client-test setup (new config now mirrors the corresponding server template, merged); started looking at EDS API extensions and handling outgoing OBEX connections * Patrick: internal backend API rewrite; several release-related changes (support packaging on Fedora 11, analysis of bugs reported by latest QA testing) and planning for >0.9 Development last week: * Yongsheng: worked on ‘autoenddate’ issue in mobical and finally verified it as a bug by Lucas. Refined patches in ‘origin/mobical’ branch according to Patrick’s comments. Mobical.net interoperability test should be done. Waiting for merge from synthesis and ‘origin/mobical’ branch (merged today). * Congwu: evolution-data-server atomic modification implementation: addressbook part is finished, passed unit test. * Patrick: finished internal SyncSource API rewrite, now needs testing. * Jussi: fixed several GUI issues for 0.9 (startup slowness #5021, error callbacks #4919, link tooltip formatting #5017, startup notification for Moblin chooser #4752) New issues: * performance improvements necessary for key/value store in .other.ini file (#5377, not assigned) * GUI still needlessly affected by this performance problem when switching between configs (#5388, assigned to Jussi) -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.
