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 1.5.0 (CVS version from 10-03-2010 19:05)downloadFor Thunderbird 2/Seamonkey 1 users: This nightly will not work with your client. please download 1.0.4 instead
For Thunderbird 3/Seamonkey 2 users: Because of the new "Secure Update" Resitrictions the install of the nightly will fail.
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! Address book sync should work fine - please confirm in mailing list or file defects! Lighnting is still work in progress (it seems to work a little, but not completely finished) bugs fixed: - conversion errors from 1.0.4: #22389 #22411 #22370 #22365 #22428 #22429 #22432
- fixed bugs: #22557 #22552
- rewrote calendar sync to really get all calendars
- contacts sync picture (at least picture url)
- alarm handling updated to lightning 1.0 interface
- when updating an event/task synckolab will make sure the lastAlarmAck will be remembered (this should avoid multiple popups of the same alarm)
- better handling of nonexistant fields (should get rid of the 'null' in mails)
- redid encoding of vcards
- more extensive check for character encoding
- pictures will be synced now (only for kolab/xml!!)
- autoclean custom4 field in tbird3
- use base64 encoding for attachments instead of quoted
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
