Evolution MAPI : Contributions… Testing… Bugzilla …

Development is more active after our move to new svn ! Julien (of openchange.org) has patched evolution-mapi to be compatible with libmapi 0.8 .Patches are welcome !

Some of the cool things with libmapi 0.8 is the possibility of having multiple exchange accounts (multiple sessions) in Evolution (Yep. you read that right! ). But they will hit the trunk little later .

Now more focus is on real world testing on servers other than few test servers we are running. What doesn’t work in different setups is something we would like to know and fix them all ! Thanks to those who have been reporting issues and TIA

NEWS :

+ evolution-mapi is proposed for GNOME 2.26. Yay !

+ we have a new product ‘evolution-mapi’ in GNOME bugzilla.

+ Wiki page is updated with information on building evolution-mapi .

Evolution Exchange 2007 (MAPI) Provider : Changes in schedule and more.

Code :

We have moved away from libmapi 0.7 to libmapi trunk (0.8 development) , so we can take advantage of the new APIs.

We will be constantly updating our code base to libmapi trunk.

http://www.go-evolution.org/MAPIProvider#Feature_Status

Currently :

Suman is busy in integrating meetings into evolution. (few more tasks left)

I’m currently working on finishing (completing) off the basic features in mailer and will move to optimizing the sync & more.

Schedules :

Sadly, we won’t be able to make it to Evolution 2.24 as we are late (details here). Meanwhile we will continue to provide pluggable packages and this will be available as a pluggable provider. 2.26 will have this.

Licensing :

Yay ! Very exciting day. Evolution licence change was announced by Michael Meeks in my talk this morning (Exchange, MAPI and Evolution) . Announce mail here!! .

Update 1 : GUADEC Talk available here

Johnny goes to GUADEC 2008, Istanbul, Turkey.

A small talk on Friday morning regarding the new Evolution MAPI provider for Exchange 2007 connectivity.

We (srini & chen) will be reaching Istanbul on sunday evening.
