Release Notes/0.9.9.1

Unofficial Release This release is not yet officially available. Testing packages are available from a location given in the topic in IRC. Expect a formal release in a couple of days if everything goes well for people with this :-)

The focus of this release is to add stability and bugfixes... and CardDAV support.

Database Upgrade
You must run the update-davical-database script.

Versions of Other Software

 * AWL 0.44 is required.
 * PostgreSQL 8.1 or later is required.
 * PHP version 5.1 or later is required.

PDO libraries
From version 0.9.8 it is necessary to have the PDO libraries available in addition to the legacy psql libraries.

Functionality Enhancements

 * Initial support for
 * support is updated to draft version -03
 * Support for /.well-known/caldav and /.well-known/carddav URLs (per )

Bug Fixes

 * Free/busy handling has been completely rewritten.
 * LDAP group handling should be better
 * UTF8 calendars should now be more reliably imported.
 * There should be no need to override the DAV header.
 * Many others.

Other Changes

 * Some updated translations
 * Clients which set the Content-Type incorrectly on PUT should be accommodated with a warning logged.
 * Errors in the DAViCal configuration file should not generate output to the screen. This has been a common problem causing breakage in the DAV functionality.  Errors will still be logged to the PHP error log (usually the Apache error log).

Debian Sid/Lenny & Ubuntu Lynx
AWL and DAViCal are in Debian Sid & Lenny and can be installed directly with apt-get.

Older Ubuntu & Debian releases
While older DAViCal packages are present in several releases of Ubuntu, you may want to consider installing a more recent version from:

deb http://debian.mcmillan.net.nz/debian lenny awm

These packages will work with earlier versions of Debian & Ubuntu as long as versions of PostgreSQL (8.1 or later, 8.4 preferred) & PHP (5.1 or later, 5.3 preferred) are used.

Gentoo
An ebuild should be available in due course, within the 'sunrise' overlay.

iCal 4.x Users
If you previously configured 'override_dav_header' option you can undo that now.

Horde Users
Horde (from Git) might complain about DAViCal using an outdated WebDAV version. This is due to a bug in Horde when reading the DAV headers, as described at http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/9251.
