20
21Now KO/Pi and KA/Pi on the Zaurus can receive data via infrared directly.
22Please disable Fastload for the original contact/calendar applications
23and close them.
24KO/Pi and KA/Pi must be running in order to receive the data.
25(KO/Pi and KA/Pi are always running if Fastload for them is enabled!)
26
27In the KA/Pi details view are now the preferred tel. numbers displayed on top
28of the other data ( emails/tel.numbers/addresses)
29
30
31********** VERSION 1.9.6 ************
32
33Changes in the external application communication on the Zaurus
34in order to use less RAM when the apps are running.
35First syncing of addressbooks (KA/Pi) is possible.
36
37

39
40Fixed a bug in KO/Pi in the SharpDTM sync of version 1.9.5.
41Fixed some small bugs.
42KA/Pi shows now the birthday in summary view.
43Now OM/Pi and KA/Pi are using the date format defined in KO/Pi
44for displaying dates.
45
46
47********** VERSION 1.9.5 ************
48
49There is still no Addressbook syncing!
50
51New in 1.9.5:
52
53Many bugfixes.
54Better searching in KA/Pi.
55You can configure in KA/Pi if you want to search only after
56<return> key pressed.
57
58Better mail downloading in OM/Pi.
59
60First experimental alpha version of sync of KO/Pi with mobile phones.
61See gammu documentation for supported phones.
62You need to install the package kammu_1.9.5_arm.ipk for sync of KO/Pi with mobile phones. kammu_1.9.5_arm.ipk needs libbluetooth and libsdp.
63Quick hint how to use:
64NOTE: MOBILE PHONE SYNC IS EXPERIMENTAL!
65Install kammu_1.9.5_arm.ipk , libbluetooth and libsdp.
66Create syncprofile - mobile device
67Remove entry for model. (Leave empty ).
68Enable infrared on Zaurus and your Phone.
69Sync.
70To get a more detailed log, start kopi from konsole.
71
72********** VERSION 1.9.4 ************
73
74This is the version 1.9.4 of KDE-Pim/Pi for the Zaurus.
75
76WARNING:
77PLEASE BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA!
78We have changed a lot and maybe there are some unknown problems.
79
80SYNC HANDLING HAS CHANGED!
81Such that, if you sync now with an already synded device, you will duplicated entries after the first sync.
82(This change was introduced to make it possible to sync with mobile phones, which will be available later (maybe in 4 weeks).
83
84You need the kmicrokdelibs_1.9.4_arm.ipk as a base for the other programs.
85If you get the error: "Install only possible in main memory", just try it again to install it on SD card. That worked for me. And it was reported that rebooting Qtopia did help in this case as well.
86
87As programs are available:
88KO/Pi (korganizer ipk) - a calendar program.
89KA/Pi (kaddressbook ipk ) - an addressbook
90OM/Pi (kopiemail ipk ) an email program with pop/smtp and IMAP support.
91
92An alarm notification program ( korganizer-alarm ipk ) for KO/Pi that notifies you about alarms, even if the Zaurus is in suspend mode.
93(If you do not see an icon in the taskbar after installing korganizer-alarm, please restart Qtopia)
94
95All the applications are installed in a "Pim" TAB.
96If this TAB is new on your system, you can get an icon in this TAB by installing pim_TAB_icon_1.9.4_arm.ipk
97
98All the application are integrated.
99Such that you can choose in KO/Pi the attendees of a meeting from the addresses in KA/Pi. When you click in KA/Pi on the email address, OM/Pi is started to write the mail.
100
101HINT:
102If you install KPhone/Pi 0.9.7, it will be called, if you click in KA/Pi on a phone number.
103
104What's new?
105
106SYNC HANDLING HAS CHANGED!
107Such that, if you sync now with an already synded device, you will duplicated entries after the first sync.
108(This change was introduced to make it possible to sync with mobile phones, which will be available later (maybe in 4 weeks).
109
110New in OM/Pi:
111When copying(i.e. downloading mails) , you can specify, that only mails of a given size should be downloaded. Added mail copy possibility for selected mails.
112
113New in KO/Pi:
114French is now available for KO/Pi.
115Choose menu:Actions - Configure:TAB locale
116Syncing has changed.
117Phone sync available soon.
118Not much changes, I cannot remember them ...
119
120New in KA/Pi:
121Beaming possible.
122Sharp DTM readonly access possible( create a new DTM resource );
123Better searching possible.
124Search is performed only after pressing the return key.
125Use wildcard * to specify parts of a name.
126
127Better name/email selection dialog (called from KO/Pi or OM/Pi). In this dialog, now searching is possible. Like in KA/Pi, use return key and wildcard * .
128
129A big improvement is the new management of the contact access.
130In version 1.9.3, every application was using their own addressbook access data.
131That means, the addressbook was loaded up to three times in the memory, when accessed by KA/Pi, KO/Pi and OM/Pi.
132That was wasting of memory, if you had several hundreds of contacts.
133
134Now only KA/Pi accesses the addressbook.
135If KO/Pi or OM/Pi want to get some name/email data, they request KA/Pi to open the name/email selection dialog and send it back to them.
136If you click on an attendee in a meeting, its contact data is displayed in KA/Pi directly.
137That means, if KO/Pi or OM/Pi want to access contact data, KA/Pi is started first.
138
139New in the KO/Pi alarm applet:
140Configure your own timer popup menu!
141(Text and minutes for timer countdown)
142Just edit the file
143(yourhomedir)/.kopialarmtimerrc
144and start/stop a timer to get a new menu with the data of this file.
145
146********** VERSION 1.9.3 ************
1471)
148Now KO/Pi on Windows imports directly the calendar data of
149an installed Outlook. Should work with OL version >= 2000.
150
151********** VERSION 1.9.2 ************
1521)
153KDE-Pim/Pi has got a new member:
154KmicroMail (KM/Pi) is a mail program,
155which can handle IMAP and POP mail access.
156It is based on Opie-Mail v3.
157All dependencies to the Opie libraries ar removed,
158such that no additional Opie lib is needed.
159It is already integrated in KO/Pi and KA/Pi.
160It it now available for the Zaurus,probably it
161will be available for other platforms later.
162Hint:
163Create your own contact (name + email)
164in KA/Pi, select this contact and choose menu:
165Settings - Set Who Am I.
166Now the settings of this contact are used as
167the sender data in KM/Pi.
1682)
169KDE-Pim/Pi is split up in five different
170packages now precompiled for Sharp Zaurus:
171--kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk
172The libs are needed for any
173of the following programs:
174--kaddressbook_1.9.2_arm.ipk
175--kmicromail_1.9.2_arm.ipk
176--korganizer_1.9.2_arm.ipk
177Independ from that, there is the alarm applet
178available for KO/Pi, which also offers
179quick access for a new mail or
180showing the addressbook.:
181--korganizer-alarm_1.9.2_arm.ipk
182Independend means, that the alarm applet
183does not need any of the libs or programs above to run.
184But it would be quite useless without these programs.
185NOTE:
186If you get a
187"This application depends on other programs"
188during installation of
189--kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk
190you probably do not have to care about that.
191kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2 will come with some
192resource plugins, which needs additional libraries.
193(E.g. libopie1, if you want to use the
194opie resource connector in KA/Pi).
195If you do not have this libraries installed,
196you simply cannot use the resource.
197To make it clear:
198If the libraries are missing, the applications
199using kmicrokdelibs will start,
200because the resources are plugins.
2013)
202KO/Pi and friends are now installable on SD-Card!
203It is recommended to install all libs and apps
204on the SD card or all in the internal storage.
205There may be problems, if this is mixed.
2064)
207Fixed two bugs in the alarm notification on Windows.
2085)
209Great improvement!
210KO/Pi uses now the latest version of libical.
211Libical is the library which actually reads
212the calendar files and extract the data from it.
213With the old version, there were problems
214(crashes or program hangs) when licical did read
215files, which were not stored from KO/Pi.
216I do not know, if the new libical works perfect,
217but actually it works much better than
218the old version.
219There are no problems with compatibility with
220old calendar files of KO/Pi, of course!
2216)
222New in KA/Pi:
223Opie addressbook resource connector available!
224You will need libopie1 and the opie addressbook,
225of course.
226With the Opie addressbook resource connector,
227you can access the Opie addressbook readonly in KA/Pi.
228If you want to edit or import the data into KA/Pi,
229do this:
230a) Create an Opie resource.
231 (Menu: Settings-Configure Resources).
232After configuration and restarting KA/Pi you should see
233the Opie contacts in KA/Pi.
234b) Select some or all Opie contacts.
235(NOTE: +++++
236To know exactly, what contacts are Opie contacts,
237do this: Choose menu:
238View-Modify View - TAB Fields.
239Select in the above list "Resource" and click
240down arrow to add it to the "Selected fields".
241Click OK.
242Now you have a new column "Resource" in your list,
243where you can see, what an Opie resource is.
244++++ NOTE end.)
245Ok, we do have now some Opie contacts seleted.
246(Use SHIFT or CTRL key in order to multiple select).
247c) Choose menu: Edit-Copy.
248d) Choose menu: Edit-Paste.
249e) Select the resource, you want to add the contacts to.
250Congrats! Now you have read/write access to the copied
251opie contacts as "real" KA/Pi contacts.
252
253
254********** VERSION 1.9.1 ************
2551)
256 +++ IMPORTANT 1 +++
257
258The storing place of the default calendar
259file has changed!
260The default calendar file was
261Applications/korganizer/mycalendar.ics
262on Zaurus and
263(yourHomeDir)/korganizer/mycalendar.ics
264on Windows/Linux desktop. Now it is
265(yourHomeDir)/kdepim/korganizer/mycalendar.ics
266on Zaurus, Windows and Linux.
267To load the old file, choose menu
268File-Load calendar backup.
269(It should be loaded automatically
270at startup with a warning message displayed).
271The place of the configuration file has changed too.
272If you want to use your old KO/Pi config,
273copy it to
274(yourHomeDir)/kdepim/config/korganizerrc
275Please read VERSION 1.9.0 - topic 3) as well!
276
277 +++ IMPORTANT 2 +++
278
279Because of the new paths, you will need
280a new version of the KO/Pi alarm applet
281for Zaurus.
282Use version >= 1.9.1
283
2842)
285Now the QWhat'sThis Icon works for items
286in the month view as well.
287(See VERSION 1.7.8 Topic 1) ).
2883)
289You can import birtsdays/anniversaries
290from KA/Pi into KO/Pi.
291Choose menu File-Import birthdays.
292If you import twice, already imported items
293will not be imported again, if they
294have not been changed in KO/Pi.
2954)
296When syncing with sharp DTM, now a progress
297is shown, when the data is written back.
298If there is much data in KO/Pi and no data
299in DTM, that can take a long time.
300(But only for the first time ).
3015)
302In the search dialog, you can search
303now for the name/email of an attendee
304of an event/todo.
305To get more space for displaying
306search results, the buttons
307for "search" and "close" on the
308bottom are removed in the PDA version.
309You have to click OK in the top right
310corner to do a search.
3116)
312Now it is possible to disable the displaying
313of todo items in the Allday part of the Agenda.
314Choose Menu Action-Configure,
315TAB Todo View, checkbox
316"Allday Agenda view shows todos"
3177)
318If FastLoad is enabled, now the settings and the
319calendar data are saved, when KO/Pi is closed.
320(If no Fastload is enabled, KO/Pi saves
321the data as well, of course)
3228)
323The Agenda View has a minimize-splitter now,
324such that the height of the allday part can be
325changed quickly.
326
327********** VERSION 1.9.0 ************
3281)
329KO/Pi is now merged with the new microKDE from KA/Pi.
330KO/Pi accesses now KA/Pi as the addressbook.
331The other ddressbook-plugins are not working any longer.
332(It is planned, that later KA/Pi itself uses these plugins)
333New versions of KO/Pi are only available
334together with KA/Pi as the KDE-Pim/Pi package.
3352)
336If you click on an attendee of a meeting in the
337event viewer, a detailed summary of the
338attendee is shown.
3393)
340The place of the configuration file has changed.
341If you want to use your old KO/Pi config, copy
342Applications/korganizer/config_korganizerrc
343to
344Applications/korganizer/config/korganizerrc
345
346********** VERSION 1.7.8 ************
3471)
348Now the QWhat'sThis ist working.
349Enable the QWhat'sThis icon in the toolbar.
350(You have to restart to reload the changed toolbar config).
351Now click on the QWhat'sThis Icon
352in the top right corner of KO/Pi.
353Then click on an item in the Agenda View:
354You will get a detailed display of the items content.
3552)
356Some other very minor changes.
357But I have forgotten the details ...
358For that reason I start this log here:
359To document my changes, when I am doing it.
360
361********** VERSION 1.7.7 ************
362Stable Version of KO/Pi \ No newline at end of file
