SyncEvolution 1.3.99.7 released - release candidate for 1.4!

[Patrick Ohly]

This the final release candidate for 1.4. No further changes planned unless
new problems are found.

Details:

* SSO: support Ubuntu Online Accounts

  When compiling from source on recent Ubuntu it becomes possible to
  use Ubuntu Online Accounts for authenticating against Google's
  CalDAV and CardDAV servers.

* D-Bus server: fix abort when mixing auto-sync and manual operations (FDO #73562)

  When enabling auto-sync for a config and then accessing or syncing the
  config manually via the command line tool, the server would abort at
  the time when the auto-sync was originally scheduled.

* D-Bus server: accept WBXML with charset in incoming connections

  A user reported via email that the Nokia 515 sends
  'application/vnd.syncml+wbxml; charset=UTF-8' as type of its messages.
  This tripped up the syncevo-http-server, leading to:

    [ERROR] syncevo-dbus-server: /org/syncevolution/Server: message type 'application/vnd.syncml+wbxml; charset=UTf-8' not supported for starting a sync

  We need to strip the '; charset=UTF-8' suffix also when checking for
  WBXML.

* packaging: compatible with EDS up to and including 3.10

  The packages now contain three versions of syncecal.so:
    - one for EDS < 3.6
    - one for EDS >= 3.6 < 3.10
    - one for EDS >= 3.10 with the libecal-1.2 soname patched

  The third flavor became necessary because EDS 3.10 accidentally
  changed the soname. The API and ABI actually is the same.

  Package meta-data was fixed to reflect the extended range of
  compatible EDS libraries, so syncevolution-evolution can be installed
  again with recent EDS.

* packaging: update syncevolution-kde dependencies

  kdebase-runtime became kde-runtime in Debian Wheezy. Accept both
  as prerequisite of syncevolution-kde to allow installation on
  newer distros without pulling in the transitional kdebase-runtime
  package.

* packaging: fix rpm (FDO #73347)

  After installing the syncevolution.org rpm on OpenSUSE,
  SyncEvolution was not starting because its shared libraries were not
  found unless "ldconfig" was called manually. Now the package does
  that automatically.

* packaging: fix description

  The syncevolution-bundle description of both rpm and deb
  packagesaccidentally used the same description as
  syncevolution-evolution.

* test improvements, integration of cppcheck and clang's scan-build


Source, Installation, Further information
=========================================

http://syncevolution.org/blogs/pohly/2014/syncevolution-13997-released

Source code bundles for users are available in
  http://downloads.syncevolution.org/syncevolution/sources
and the original source is in the git repositories
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/SyncEvolution/

i386, lpia and amd64 binaries for Debian-based distributions are
available via the "unstable" syncevolution.org repository. Add the
following entry to your /apt/source.list:
  deb http://downloads.syncevolution.org/apt stable main

Then install "syncevolution-evolution", "syncevolution-kde" and/or
"syncevolution-activesync".

These binaries include the "sync-ui" GTK GUI and were compiled for
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy), except for "syncevolution-activesync" which
depends on libraries in Debian Squeeze, for example EDS 3.4.

Older distributions like Debian 4.0 (Etch) can no longer be supported
with precompiled binaries because of missing libraries, but the source
still compiles when not enabling the GUI (the default).

The same binaries are also available as .tar.gz and .rpm archives in
http://downloads.syncevolution.org/syncevolution/. In contrast
to 0.8.x archives, the 1.x .tar.gz archives have to be unpacked and the
content must be moved to /usr, because several files would not be found
otherwise.

After installation, follow the
http://syncevolution.org/documentation/getting-started steps.
