Ah, I see. The problems I encountered with repeating events were more along the lines that they ended up as a gazillion of individual events on my T610, so you (and everyone else) might want to be careful about that, too. I don't use repeating events for birthdays (Evolution lacks their integration in the calendar, but the addressbook plugin for opie-todo does all I need), so I can't really provide much comment on those, sorry. > There were problems with apostrophes in event (and todo?) > names/descriptions which I think is fixed in CVS.

IIRC that was caused by a different understanding (of Opie vs. Evolution) of what summary and description are. Tom fixed that if I am not mistaken. > There was also something broken with "all day events" getting > turned into events that ended at noon. Haven't encountered that one (I do have all day events in the calendar), i.e. it works for me (tm) > In any case, about half of my events and todo items ended up > getting broken. This, also, I cannot reproduce here, so the CVS version might be an improvement for you. > I'll give the CVS shapshot a try. Is there a list of "the > current limitations"? Not really, mainly you need to be aware of the fact that once you edit a contact on a certain device, it will be synced back to all connected plugins within the limitations of that device. In English: if you use a phone like the T610 that only stores a couple of numbers, a name, company and email address but no notes, addresses, etc. and you edit the contact on the phone, after syncing all fields not supported by the phone will be gone in e.g. evolution and opie as well. There are similar limitations (i.e. only web address in evolution vs. home/work web addresses in opie-addressbook) for other devices but not as severe as those I mentioned. Also, if you were to create an entry on your phone, then beam it to your pda and the sync both to evolution, you might end up having duplicates, although some progress has been made in that area IIRC. > Since 0.81 wasn't quite usable, I just wanted to know if people > thought CVS was good enough for day-to-day use. Again strictly speaking for myself, I think it is. YMMV. Regards, Eike -- Eike M.
