as long as no local change is done
- fixed comparing in contacts
- fix for primary/secondary email address

- started with localization (english and german - if you want to translate into your language feel free to submit the dtd (you can find the originials in your
extensiond/{571CFACF-0F7D-49b4-BD77-E6FC7B209ADC}/chrome/content/synckolab/locale directory)

synckolab 0.4.31 (bugged)
- space in confignames is being checked for - added some changes for the calendar parsing to make sure the cellphone is parsed correctly - implemented the contributions from andreas - made sure the sync window is resizeable
synckolab 0.4.30
integrated all patches submitted by Andreas Gungl: 1) fix for a problem when a message has been removed from the server and the message has already been in the internal hash database (In this case the entry in the database hasn't been deleted which lead to problems if the same events have been uploaded again to the server by another client. Because then the events would be deleted again and again by the first client.) 2) fix for dealing with more than one calendar sync settings (some typos or copy & paste errors prevented the settings dialog to be updated correctly) 3) allow parsing of most of the events generated by Toltec Connector (the XML attachments in the message are base64-encoded, so the detection of that encoding and the decoding of base64 is needed) There are still minor problems with the calendar sync, but most of them are hard to reproduce. If anyone has a reproducible test case, please let me know. - also added global variable for debug messages (so it can be configured later)
synckolab 0.4.28
- this version has been tasted with lightning 0.3 and works fine with it - fixed bug that wrote wrong filetype - added automatic check for xml format
synckolab 0.4.27
bugged version: contacts in vcard format are synced wrong
- Added fixes for the saving of messages (end boundary) for contacts and calendar
- Javascript console output changed
- upped max-version of supported thunderbird clients to 2.0 (I just hope this really works ;P)
- Added patches from Andres Gungl to improve lightning/calendaring support:
- incorrect handling of the organizer of Kolab-XML events
- incorrect mail address of attendees of Kolab-XML events
- wrong format of the alarm time in Kolab-XML export
- bad format of multipart messages used to store Kolab-XML events
- event duplication if an already read event has been deleted
on the server
- usage of calendar manager in Synckolab which made the calender
view to disregard the assigned color for events
synckolab 0.4.26
Fixed a bug with the conflict resolution dialog (wrong filename)
synckolab 0.4.25
Updated contact sync thanks to Steven D Miller (Copart): - conflict resolution dialog that allows selecting which fields should be updated - removed bugs that prevented the email address and the webpages to sync correctly - implemented a fix for the toltec connector (lines were truncated) If you find any bugs please tell us on the synckolab mailing list (see above).
synckolab 0.4.24

synckolab 0.4.23
- loads of fixes to the calendar sync (especially with kolab xml) thanks to Andreas Gungl - added a status display to view the current in work messages - fixed a bug preventing contacts to be deleted locally - fixed a bug that prevented locally deleted items to be removed from server (both contacts and calendar) - added option to close the status window when done (or let it stay open...) This version was tested successfully with lightning 0.1 build 2006031011 following issues are known: addressbook: - i still have to use the custom4 field to store the id of the card, i will add a configuration option to select with of the 4 custom fields to use in the next release calendar: - calendar sync does not remove local events even if deleted from server - yearly reoccuring events are not yet supported (others should work fine) - reoccuring events with exceptions are not yet supported - coloring of events does not work (color will be set to white)

synckolab 0.4.20

synckolab 0.4.15
fixed deletion of calendar configs
the date error should not happen any more when syncing contacts
synckolab 0.4.14

Deleted Messages are in trash and can be undone.
finished writing of kolab2 xml contact format.

synckolab 0.4.10
Included fixes from Andreas Gungl
Added license information on all .js
synckolab 0.4.9
Calendar config works again. Please note that the calendar support is only minimal because the internals of calendar change with 0.3 (next version of the calendar extension). It imports quite ok, but not all fields (f.e. reoccuring does not work) plus it syncs calendar entries every time, because the mopdified field does not get written correctly. This will change with the release of the new calendar, I will release the next synckolab version as soon as calendar is out (at least nightly for windows).
synckolab 0.4.8
changed the install.rdf back
got rid of the error "lastmodifieddate"...

Added quoted-printable and utf8 de/encoding for all message
Fixed Problem when saving format for calendar

Reading support for kolab2 calendar format (no todo or reoccurance yet!)

Fixed all upload problems (the messages werent standard complient).
Time checks are now correct
Added tooltips to configuration
New Icon
This is an important update that should fix all previous problems with messages not written back to the server! you should really get that one!
synckolab 0.3.3
Fixed problems with missing From Header
Added multiple configurations (make sure you update the configuration when updating from a previous version). Added a few additional error checking lines.
synckolab 0.3.2
Fixed Error: gAddressBook is not definedFixed Error: Null Pointer in calendar
Huge step everyone! Sync of addressbook included all bugfixes and the calendar sync is included now. Since this is the first release with calendaring support use it with care.
synckolab 0.2.10
Two bugfixes and code cleanup. no new functions yet, but prepared for calendar sync.
synckolab 0.2.9
Added a few bugfixes and debug messages. Configuration for calendar sync is added already. you have to install the calendar extension first. A few jslib functions are already used in order to get the calendar sync to work. Watch out for the next versions :) I currently use Calendar V 0.8.3+, you can get calendar for thunderbird it from here
synckolab 0.2.8
fixed bug when there are no messages in folder
synckolab 0.2.7
Split into a few js for easier development. Added morea dvanced sync check. Now all contacts are being written back to the folder, even if they have an uid set already. The reading of messages has been fixed now - it was a UID problem. So sorry to all I bugged :) There should really be a little better documentation on the xpcom functions. (For those interested: I tried generating the message URIs by using the folderuri and adding #(counter)- which works on clean boxes since then the messages start with id #0. If there is already something there you HAVE to get the messages and use the msgHdr key!)
synckolab 0.2.6
Fixed a bug where it stops when no contact is in the address book.
Just so its easier for some of you to analyze the errors here is a basic layout on whats going on: 1. it gets the adress book and the message folder 2. it reads every message in the folder and parses it as a contact object. If the uid is not found in any contact (checks for custom4), the address is added. The changedates are then checked to see if there were any changes in either the contact or message (I dont know of any other way to handle updates) 3. for all changed contacts: the message is being deleted, the contact is converted to a message and written back 4. all contacts that do not have a custom4 field filled out are being written to the contact folder thats it. The extension writes a temp file (synckolab.tmp) in your systems temp folder for the message to write back.
synckolab 0.2.5
This version fixes some errors with the temp file and implements a new version to read the contact folder. This speeds up the sync quite a lot, and it's not any more necessary to download the folder offline.
There is a problem if you have an imap account where the username has a % or a @ in it (like with vpopmail) that seems to be a bug in tb.
This and all prior versions only save new contacts to the selected folder if the custom4 field is empty. I will fix that in the next version.
synckolab 0.2.4
Added update URL. You may have to call the options twice in order to be displayed right (after changing an account).
synckolab 0.2.3
Fixed a bug found by whodaresgin. Stripping of \r\n versus only \n works now.
synckolab 0.2.2
Configuration now with drop-down and tree instead of manual input (reduces errors). some minor fixes.
This version also prepares for a new way of reading the messages which will be implemented in the next version.
synckolab 0.2.1
Added a checkbox to sync without writing back to imap (helps speeding things up and pretty useful to make sure nothing is changed)
Some checks and exception catched so it wont break so easy.
When having a problem you can either subscribe to the mailing list (http://synckolab.mozdev.org/list.html) or post in a forum where I check (xulplanet f.e.).
Make sure to post the exceptions/javascript messages so I can check where the problem is (also operating system/version of tbird and synckolab help).
synckolab 0.2.0
This version works fine. I only tested it under windows with the contact folder selected for offline download and downloaded. It creates missing messages and cards. It should also correctly check all vcard fields.
synckolab 0.1.1
Fixed some nasty message bug. It should now download the online folders. Still a bad bug on Linux which I cannot figure out (under linux it wont find my contact folder's messages???).
synckolab 0.1.0 alpha
This is a testing release. Do not use it in productive enviroments!!!
This version might break your folder and your selected address book... use with care and BACKUP before use!!!
After installing make sure to set the path and server right. Right now you also
have to make sure the imap folder you want to sync with is set for offline downloading and
downloaded (I added some code to download it, but it doesnt work yet... I guess). Just rightclick
the folder you want, go to Offline, select "Select this folder for offline use" and press
"Download Now". After that it should sync just fine.
