It's the memo support in WebDAV which uses the VJOURNAL<->plain conversion. Search for VJOURNAL and/or "text" in the SyncEvolution commit messages. For example: commit 7ce9b7ff258565a2ecab8e344d86ef9497ba57ce Author: Patrick Ohly <[email protected]> Date: Mon Jun 18 16:04:51 2012 +0200 WebDAV: improved VJOURNAL -> plain/text conversion When a memo in VJOURNAL format from the CalDAV backend gets converted to plain text *and* the description starts with summary plus newline, then only the description is used in the plain text version, to avoid duplicating the summary. Such entries are produced by SyncEvolution when importing plain text into EDS. The conversion in the CalDAV backend uses a slightly different logic and strips the first line from the incoming text instead of just copying it. The main reason for this change is that the new mechanism (based libsynthesis text profile) makes it easier to implement the conversion that way. I can't give you a list of commits which need to be back-ported. That would be akin to maintaining a stable branch based on 1.2.99.1. I don't have the time for that. I also doubt that the result will be really better than 1.3.2. This kind of back-porting comes with its own risks. Basically you are releasing a version which has not seen any kind of testing outside of Debian.
