DAViCal 0.9.9.4 released

Published on Thursday, the 30th of December, 2010 and last updated on the 28th of October, 2011
DAViCal 0.9.9.4 is now available, along with AWL 0.46. This is a recommended upgrade with a focus on stability and reliability. Release notes are on the wiki at http://wiki.davical.org/w/Release_Notes/0.9.9.4.Most of the changes are subtle: fixes to small bugs or adjustments to correctness in respect to standards. In particular there were some errors in handling of various requests for addressbook data, and the support for WebDAV synchronisation is updated to draft -04 of the specification.One notable addition is the new '/feed.php/username/calendar/' URL which will provide an Atom feed of the events added to a calendar. This is pretty experimental at present, but any problems with it won't affect the rest of DAViCal so I felt it safe to include in a stable release series.I've also created a DAViCal Announce mailing list which in the future will be the primary place that notifications like this are sent to, so those of you who are subscribed here but really only want to see announcements should subscribe to that list.In a few weeks time (well, when I remember, I guess :-) I want to move the DAViCal General mailing list to a lists.davical.org mailing list. As of today I've moved the DAViCal developers mailing list there already (pretty easy since it did not involve moving servers) but the old address for that one will continue to work indefinitely.Also, as of yesterday, the sourceforge.net project name for DAViCal finally got changed, so DAViCal is now at http://sourceforge.net/projects/davical - yay!At the end of January I will be presenting about Calendaring and Free Software at Linux.Conf.AU 2011 in Brisbane - I hope you've all got your tickets already, because there isn't much time left now :-)

Problem

Submitted by Anoisymouse (not verified) on 6 January 2011 - 4:11am.

there is a problem when we delete an account or group, my davical directory named "http://ipserver/davical/" and when I delete an account, the link is broken, it search "htttp://ipserver/admin.php?paramater" and I must add "davical/" for works.

Thanx

Principal edit broken for folder installs

Yes, this problem was pointed out to me yesterday on the mailing list, also, and a fix is in Git now.

I expect that I will release a 0.9.9.5 shortly which includes this change.

Regards,
Andrew.

Thank you for encouraging me, Andrew! Finally i got it up and running. I bLogged a few lines that read like somewhere between a little success story and a review of your installation.php:

Everybody, excuse the broken design, i'm just stuffing all documentation into the bLog database at this time. Of course you might copy&paste if you wish.
See you on the CeBit, right?

sorting the listbox in group members

Hi
I added an ORDER BY displayname in the group_row_editor() function in $grouprow->SetLookup in inc/ui/principal-edit.php. The listbox gave an unsorted list and it's difficult to browse in a large list of names, which is sorted by creation date :-)
We also used the Calendar (CalDAV) Sync BETA from androidzoom and it seems to work as well.

Thanks for your enormous effort to keep developing this project!

Please send patch!

All patches gratefully accepted.

Well, no, actually. I review patches pretty thoroughly before I commit them but yours does sound worth while :-)

Regards,
Andrew.

Lost admin password

Submitted by onizuka (not verified) on 3 February 2011 - 5:28am.

Hi,

I unfortunately lost the admin password for the calendar's users database. Is it possible to manage it? Or must I make a new DB? It would be great if I could recover my old one.

Thanks for reading

Regards
