latest news


SyncKolab is steadily developed further. Issues are reported over bugzilla and normally (if possible) fixed quite rapidly. Before reporting an issue, check out the newest cvs nightly build (makes ure to backup everything first).

synckolab 1.5.3 (CVS version from 29-12-2011 12:30)

download

For Thunderbird 2/Seamonkey 1 users:

You really should upgrade. You might find some versions of synckolab that work mostly, but the last cleanup to 1.5.1 really was a big step. For all Linux users who don't upgrade because they do not have the current thunderbird in their repo: just download the new version into your home dir and start it from there: http://www.mozillamessaging.com/

For Thunderbird 3/Seamonkey 2 users:

Because of the new "Secure Update" resitrictions the install of the nightly will fail. (If you downloaded from addons.mozilla.org  you won't have this problem!)
In order to still use the most recent synckolab add following to your prefs.js:

user_pref("extensions.checkUpdateSecurity", false);

You can get a cvs built version from here.

Beware that this may break all you contacts/calender entries, altough we try to create stable nighlies.. Nightly builds now show their date in the option and install file

Changelog:

This release is for Thunderbird 3+/Seamonkey 2+ ONLY . Older versions are nor longer supported because of major api changes. You can still use 1.0.4!

Syncing lightning and address is confirmed to work quite fine. Mailing list support just got into it, so it should still be used carefully (if you have no problems with it feel free to drop a line)

bugs fixed:

  • #24281 encoding issues
  • #24210 encoding issues
  • #24191 Thunderbird 5 Status Bar fails to display correctly with Sync Kolab Nightly installed.
  • #24446 Compatibilty with TB 7.0
  • #24106 Message "folder not found"
  • #22767#24382 Moving date when usign all-day events
  • #24572 - tasks not synced

How do I get the source?

Best check out the mozdev site: http://synckolab.mozdev.org/source.html

I found a bug - what shall I do now?

Especially with the nightlies it is quite common that there are some issues. If you have an issue to the following:

  • Make sure you have the most current nightly!
  • check on http://synckolab.mozdev.org/bugs.html  if someone found this bug already. Youo might want to update the bug with the information you found.
  • IF the bug does not exist yet. Create a new one.

    • When you create/update a bug make sure to include following information:

  • The exact version of
    • Your Operating System (WindowsXP/Vista/7, Linux, MacOSX)
    • Thunderbird (see Help/About)
    • SyncKolab (for nightlies make sure to include the build time)
  • If you use Xml or Vcard/iCal to sync
  • information from the error console (Tools/Error Console):
    • with always updating/deleting/reappearing entries: there should be a 'not equals XX/XX' message
    • with "unknown" entries there should be a 'parsing error' somewhere
    • with stopping in the middle of the sync problems check for an 'exception'
  • Especially when you experience parsing errors or incompatibilities with other kolab clients make sure to either attach the message or send me as attachment (first do rightclick-save as to save the message as eml and then send this)
  • If possible add how I can reproduce the problem
