No worries, we're not on a strict release schedule. We can do point releases at any time if you find that something needs to be updated. Thanks for your continued involvement. We're really looking forward to the final outcome. -- Art Chenthill wrote: I was not able to try the upstream l

I was not able to try the upstream libical yet. I am right now packed with some other work, so I will try to get this done as soon as possible. Suddenly the weekends have gone out of my hands as I have to move out of station to places that do not have internet connectivity. Either me or suman will

I have applied Chenthill's memory management patches (only to the 'libical' directory and to the examples -- still have to do the 'libicalcap' and 'libicalss' directories) using function names ending in "_r". IMHO, HANDLE_LIBICAL_MEMORY can be removed. Ok folks, it's done ... The rema

Since we do really want to remove the fork and pick up packages from upstream, I can change the apis in evolution related packages if a new set of apis with some suffix is provided from libical upstream. Many of you have probably already read this on the libical mailing list, but just in cas

Hello! A while ago in this thread I argued in favor of keeping the old functions around with their old semantic to preserve backwards compatibility. I still stand by that logic for *libical* users. But later it occurred to me that for *libecal* users this is an API change because code which was c
