Evolution Mirror 0.2.1

I've decided to use this blog to announce all my extension news, not just that of vcs Support, from now on.

Evolution Mirror 0.2.1 is now available from here.

Evolution Mirror is a Linux only extension which mirrors the addition, deletion and modification of events and tasks to the Gnome clock applet. It requires Evolution to be installed, and run at least once. Evolution performs important setup procedures on the Gnome clock applet when it is run for the first time.

This version contains changes to the install.rdf file that should hopefully solve problems that people were having installing it on 64-bit systems. If there are sitll problems, then please email me at vcssupport1@gmail.com.

vcs Support 0.7b1

vcs Support 0.7 beta 1 has been released and is available from here. this is a beta release. If you wish to use the current stable release, see vcs Support 0.6.3 at addons.mozilla.org.

There are a number of significant changes in this version, and it should be noted that it is still very much a beta release (and subject to lots of bugs and the possibility of eating your information), so do not use it with critical information.

Firstly, this beta is only compatible with version 1.0pre of Sunbird and Lightning, and version 3.0a1 abd up of Thunderbird. These are the latest development builds of these products and contain significant changes themselves over their current stable versions. I hope to have the final version of 0.7 compatible with versions 0.9 of Sunbird and Lightning, and version 2 of Thunderbird.

It is now possible to subscribe to a vcs calendar through the subscribe option in the file menu. The process is the same as subscribing to an ics calendar, except for choosing vcs instead of ics. To subscribe to a local vcs calendar, you need to choose Network Calendar and the local address of the file (with a file:/// prefix).

It also is now possible to import a file using a command line argument (-import). This is not limited to .vcs files, and should work for all Sunbird and Lightning compatible file types. This is reported as an enhancement in bugzilla at bug 261460. This function has only been tested on local files, so I don't know how well it will work with remote calendars. One major issue with the command line importer is that it will only import into the default calendar (for now).

I am extremely interested in getting feedback on these new features, especially regarding what bugs might exist. Either fill out the support form or email vcssupport1@gmail.com giving as much detail about the problem as possible.

vcs Support 0.6.3

vcs Support 0.6.3 has been released and is available from here.

The following localisations have been added:

• lt-LT - Lithuanian (thanks to ezg from Babelzilla)
• sr-RS - Serbian (thanks to DakSrbija from Babelzilla)

Export and import of categories has also been improved now meaning the use of non-roman characters in category names is no longer imported or exported incorrectly. All QUOTED-PRINTABLE fields are now also specified as using UTF-8 character set when UTF-8 is chosen in the options screen.

As always, if you have any issues with version 0.6.3, please have a look at the FAQ, or fill out the support form, giving as much detail about the problem as possible, and I'll try to respond as soon as possible.
