Hi Charlie, I'm actually having a problem recreating the bug as you described. Based on the current code base, what should be happening (and is for me) is that the deleted instance will not appear as an entry in the feed.
The calendar I've tried to recreate this on is: http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public/full?updated-min=1970-01-01&q=2recurring2 You'll notice only one entry (containing an EXDATE in the icalendar syntax) even though the instance on 3/6/2007 has been deleted. Alternatively, if you look at: http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public/full?updated-min=1970-01-01&q=5recurring5 You'll notice 2 entries (one containing an EXDATE in the icalendar syntax). The second entry (without the gd:recurrence) does not contain a gd:originalEvent, but is noted as 'canceled'. However, the gd:when doesn't represent the date I deleted either. This was caused by creating a single event and modifying it to be a recurring event. Because of the way recurring events are handled, these actions cause the original event to be deleted and a new event (the recurring event) to be created. Is this possibly what happened in your testing? Although I'm having problems recreating the bug as you described, there still is an issue present that likely effects your application -- deleted instances of recurring events are not appearing in the feeds. This problem occurred due to another bug fix (at the time EXDATE elements were added to the icalendar syntax). That fix is being reverted, so EXDATE elements will no longer appear and deleted instances of recurring events will reappear in the feeds when an updated-min parameter is passed. I understand the problems this causes with syncing deleted instances of recurring events -- we will resolve this problem with the next release. While I realize this is not ideal, you could delete any instances on your side which appear in EXDATE syntax in the meantime (which will be removed at the time deleted events begin reappering in the feeds). I will be posting a separate thread to the groups making the announcement re the removal of EXDATE syntax in the next release to make it known to a wider audience.
