[Evolution-hackers] Evolution progress for 2.22

2007-12-03 Thread Srinivasa Ragavan
Hello Everyone

I just released Evolution and friends for GNOME 2.21.3 and this has been
mostly a bug fixing release. Thanks a lot to Prasad and Suman for the
late-night sanity and tarball validation and also to our 'Patch-bot'
Milan and all the other contributors for your patches. 

Till now in 2.22 cycle, we have done
* Google Calendar suppport
* Support for external editors as composers
* New Tango icons look
* lots of bug fixes.

I'm hoping to get the following things for 2.22 cycle.

* Exchange Smartcard support (Mostly done and GAL is still pending)
* Non-Intrusive error reporting (Prototype patch is there, not started
yet)
* Matt's new-look composer

I have already announced that there is a lot of effort spent on
implementing MAPI based Exchange connector using OpenChange's libmapi.
I'm not sure, if that can make it to 2.22, since I still haven't got a
licensing clearance. Anyways, it can be available as a plugin for all
the 2.22 users by their packagers. 

We also had lots of discussion about Split/UAM on d-d-l. I'm thinking of
getting UAM at least done for 2.22. Just proposal are in place and
nothing started. I would update the progress as it happens.

-Srini.

 I want to say a big thanks to everyone as well, especially you Srini!
 Evolution has really stabilized in a big way over the last 6 months or
 so, and I certainly appreciate it: Evolution is the killer app that
 allows me to have never booted from my Windows partition at work since I
 shrunk it and installed Ubuntu over a year ago.
 
 Hip hip hooray!
Thanks Paul.
 
 
 I do hope folks are still going to look at bugs: I have some pretty
 significant ones that don't seem to be getting much love, that I'd
 really appreciate some traction on:

I see that this is already fixed in a different bug. I hope that we would fix 
the rest in 
some form (may be in MAPI) pretty soon.

-Srini.
