** Description changed: Impact ====== - Some bugs in evolution-data-server were causing daily limit errors for those using Google services with evolution-data-server and apps that use it (Evolution is a prominent example). + Some bugs in evolution-data-server (e-d-s) were causing daily limit errors for those using Google services with evolution-data-server and apps that use it (Evolution is a prominent example). Unfortunately, it looks like users using older versions of e-d-s are causing those errors to affect everyone using e-d-s since they are using the same API key. It's very difficult for GNOME to push everyone to use an updated version of their software. - This update changes the API key used by those using the GNOME Online - Accounts feature. + Therefore, this update changes the API key used by those using the GNOME + Online Accounts feature for Google services. Test Case ========= Restart your computer after applying the updates. Then use Evolution with a Google account configured by gnome-control- center's Online Accounts. The easiest way to configure that correctly is to use Ubuntu GNOME. Make sure that Evolution works without getting authentication errors with your Google services. Regression Potential ==================== I think the only possibility for regression is if GNOME did not configure the key correctly with Google's developer platform. Other Info ========== This update depends on the pending evolution-data-server 3.22.3 SRU (LP: #1639926) since we need to make sure the user has a fixed version of evolution-data-server so we don't taint the new keys too! Also, Evolution has two ways to use Google services: 1) GNOME Online Accounts 2) evolution-data-server has its own Google authentication method. The evolution-data-server key probably will similarly need to be updated.
