Hello Group,
Overview
========
A lot has changed since the last status report.
Unfortunately the demo release has been delayed for a
few weeks now due to our underestimating the workload
necessary to get to that point, and new issues that
have surfaced.
Since the last status, we have fixed a number of design
issues relating to synchronizing the remote calendar
folders. The message API for communicating between our
internal components has been better tested, and so has
the synchronization API itself. More testing is left to
be done.
Synchronization code is finally completed, though more
testing is needed before public release.
There were a few HTTP issues that came up that had to be
addressed. Basically the HTTP handling had to be a bit
more robust.
Some testing under Outlook XP was done. Viewing remote
folders is reported working, but uploading changes has
not been tested.
We've added a new 'Unit Tests' sub-project. This project
will keep library wide unit tests. Test development has
been started.
Testing using the open-source Cosmo CalDAV server has been
started, along side the Oracle CalDAV server testing.
This Week
=========
We have completed the synchronization API. Testing is all
that remains for the first demo release, unless said testing
exposes new and significant bugs.
We are hoping that about a week of testing should be enough
for the first demo release.
ChangeLog Entries
=================
2006-05-11 doublebug
* boost/pool/pool.hpp, mstore/O_IContainer.cpp,
mstore/O_IProp.cpp, otlkcon_memory.cpp, otlkcon_memory.h,
protocols/caldav/caldav.cpp, protocols/caldav/caldav.h: Some
small fixes.
store: Added GetProps PT_UNICODE. Now iCal export works under
Outlook XP.
Now NewMAPIUID is using CoCreateGUID(i've got the same entries
generated).
CalDAV: Now error entries are skipped. There is a problem with
%40 escaped symbol '@'. Under Outlook 2003 seems works fine but
server returns 404 under Outlook XP. I guess that is because of
different msxml versions.
2006-05-11 kervin
* mstore/O_IContainer.cpp, mstore/O_IContainer.h,
mstore/O_IXPProvider.cpp, otlkcon_entryid.h: More untested and
incomplete work on message upload. Added handler for the ID
message result amongst other things. Handler for ICAL_UPLOAD
message in XP is next along with finishing the queued message
processing in the ID message handler.
2006-05-10 kervin
* mstore/O_IContainer.cpp, mstore/O_IContainer.h,
mstore/O_IMsgStore.cpp, mstore/O_IXPProvider.cpp,
otlkcon_config.h: Adding UpdateRemoteMessage() function for
syncing the foreign folder when the contents table row is being
updated. This is untested and incomplete. Next I need to
handle the ID request message in the XP and the result of that
in the container. Also the UPLOAD message needs to be handled
in the XP. Hopefully this should all be completed and tested
tomorrow.
2006-05-09 doublebug
* mstore/O_IMessage.cpp, mstore/O_IMessage.h,
mstore/O_IMsgStore.cpp, otlkcon_memory.h: Store: synchronization
changed for O_IMsgStore::OnSyncAppointmentComponents
So the DB is locked only for 1 message at a time.
Added exporting code. Now MAPI->iCal seems to works fine.
More detailed testing needed after upload completion.
So far noticed that MIMEDIR does not add ORGANIZER property to
the exported data.
2006-05-08 doublebug
* mstore/O_IMessage.cpp, mstore/O_IMessage.h,
mstore/O_IXPProvider.cpp, protocols/caldav/caldav.cpp,
tests/tests.vcproj: store: Modified preprocessing of iCal. Now
it's done via ical library.
Added additional required field for Outlook's convertor. seems
to work with Cosmo server now.
Now XMLHTTPRequest is created for every separate request.
Haven't noticed any mem corruption so far.
2006-05-05 kervin
* mstore/O_IXPProvider.cpp, mstore/O_IXPProvider.h,
otlkcon_guid.h: Added entryid and events to XPProvider. Inching
towards message uploads.
* mstore/O_IContainer.cpp, mstore/O_IContainer.h,
mstore/O_IMsgStore.cpp, otlkcon_config.h: Started looking at
event uploads. No code yet really.
2006-05-04 doublebug
* mstore/O_IMessage.cpp, mstore/O_IMessage.h, mstore/O_IProp.cpp,
mstore/O_IStream.cpp, protocols/caldav/caldav.cpp: CalDAV:
removed calling abort() for hanged request because of memory
corruption.
mstore: Added some properties (LOCATION, SUBJECT, BODY) to iCal
conversion.
some crash fixes in O_IProp and O_IStream.
Discovered another problem. Fresh db works fine with sync. But
after restarting Outlook sync can't find existing appointments
and continue creating new messages forever.
2006-05-04 kervin
* boost/mpl, boost/mpl/O1_size.hpp, boost/mpl/O1_size_fwd.hpp,
[ ...too many files. Deleting... ]
boost/utility/value_init.hpp, otlkcon.sln, tests,
tests/otlkcon_tests.h, tests/otlkcon_tests_iprop.cpp,
tests/otlkcon_tests_iprop.h, tests/otlkcon_tests_mstore.cpp,
tests/otlkcon_tests_mstore.h, tests/stdafx.cpp, tests/stdafx.h,
tests/tests.cpp, tests/tests.vcproj: Adding more boost libraries
for unit testing. Adding 'tests' project for unit testing our
library functions.
2006-05-03 doublebug
* mstore/mstore.cpp, otlkcon_event.cpp, otlkcon_guid.h:
otlkcon_event thread blocks somehow under Outlook XP.
So remover MAPIInitialization for that thread.
Need to investigate the further.
Added WindowClass unregistering.
And thread event tread terminating.
There some issues with settings dialog under Outlook XP.
Sync code seems to work fine with Outlook XP also.
2006-04-30 doublebug
* mstore/O_IMessage.cpp, mstore/O_IMessage.h,
mstore/O_IMsgStore.cpp, mstore/mimedir_tlb.h,
protocols/caldav/caldav.cpp: Added importing iCal using Outlooks
component.
It seems it works somehow but i think we need to write own
convertor to fully support all features.
Will play a bit more with it.
Issue discovered with contents table.
We need first to open Calendar folder in Outlook to properly
update contents
table columns. After that sync with Oracles server works fine
and appointments are displayed properly.
* mstore/O_IXPLogon.cpp, protocols/caldav/caldav.cpp: Caldav: Now
when .send() failed by timeout we attempt second time.
So far attempting is hard coded. May be we can add some
configuration option for that.
* mstore/O_IFolder.cpp, mstore/O_IMsgStore.cpp,
mstore/O_IMsgStore.h, mstore/O_IProp.cpp, otlkcon_config.h,
protocols/caldav/caldav.cpp, protocols/caldav/caldav.h,
protocols/caldav/stdafx.h: Caldav: added timeout. So far hard
coded.
We need to add resend request if it failed by timeout. I've
noticed that resend usually works fine.
Store: Disabled using MEMDB. There are still problems with
OpenProperty and MEMDB.
Added ability to subscribe for synchronous notifications.
Now folders use synchronous notifications for updating their
tables.
2006-04-28 doublebug
* mstore/O_IMsgStore.cpp, mstore/O_IProp.cpp, mstore/O_ITable.cpp,
otlkcon_config.h, otlkcon_event.cpp, otlkcon_sqlite_utils.cpp,
protocols/caldav/caldav.cpp, protocols/caldav/caldav.h,
protocols/file/file.vcproj: Fixed settings for File project
Fixed a lot of deadlocks
Transport code changed a bit
XMLHTTPRequest is constructed as needed.
That eliminates .send hang.(Internaly it uses WinInet that is
why we cant hold reference)
Lock and unlock changed so that if some critical section is
entered it is always left.
The code seems to work without being deadlocked.
Conversion iCal->MAPI is next.
2006-04-26 kervin
* protocols/ical/libical/icaltime.c: Add hour to the
icaltime/FILETIME conversion.
2006-04-25 kervin
* mstore/O_IMsgStore.cpp, mstore/O_ITable.cpp,
mstore/O_IXPLogon.cpp, otlkcon_config.h,
otlkcon_sqlite_utils.cpp, protocols/caldav/caldav.cpp: Debugged
critical section issues. Next, HTTP requests need to be made
async or given timeouts.
* mstore/O_IMsgStore.cpp, mstore/O_ITable.cpp,
mstore/O_IXPLogon.cpp, mstore/mstore.cpp, otlkcon_print.cpp:
More sqlite critical section fixes. Back to debugging internal
sync protocol.
2006-04-24 kervin
* mstore/O_IMessage.cpp, mstore/O_IMsgStore.cpp,
mstore/O_IProp.cpp, mstore/O_IStream.cpp, mstore/O_IStream.h,
mstore/O_ITable.cpp, mstore/O_ITable.h, mstore/O_IXPLogon.cpp,
mstore/mstore.cpp, otlkcon_config.h, otlkcon_sqlite_utils.cpp:
Switched to a more serialized API throughout the entire project.
Now SQLite shares a single global database handle but is
serialized by the sqlite critical section where ever needed.
This was necessary for the memory database used by O_IMessage
for transactions to work right. Currently debugging deadlocks.
2006-04-20 kervin
* mstore/O_IFolder.cpp, mstore/O_IMessage.cpp, mstore/O_IProp.cpp,
mstore/O_ITable.cpp, mstore/O_IXPLogon.cpp,
mstore/O_IXPProvider.cpp, mstore/mstore.cpp: Continued debugging
synchronization API. Ran into issues with seeding the random
number generator. Switched from 'time(0)' to 'GetTickCount()'.
What is the scope of srand()? Process? Thread? Function? Need
to find that out. Now running into a 'SQLITE_SCHEMA' error a
bit further on. Don't know how that can happen given all the
transactions are EXCLUSIVE, but will check this out tomorrow.
Looks like loadAppointmentFolders() needs to be smarter or
something because the schema error occurs under it.
* mstore/O_IContainer.cpp, mstore/O_IFolder.h,
mstore/O_IMessage.cpp, mstore/O_IMsgStore.cpp: Continued
debugging synchronization. Started with ICalImport as well.
Added the foreign id/hash properties to the message object.
More debugging needed.
