Info about the changes in new versions of KDE-Pim/Pi

********** VERSION 1.9.17 ************

KO/Pi:
Fixed that tooltips were not updated after moving an item in agenda view.
Fixed a bug in sorting start date for recurring events in list view.
Changed the left button in todo viewer from "Agenda" to "Set completed".
This makes it possible to change a todo in the What's Next View quickly to the completed state without leaving the What's Next View.
Added more info in the todo viewer: Startdate, parent/sub todos.
 

KA/Pi:
All fields search does now actually search all the (possible) fields, 
not only those listed in the contact list.
Made is possible to inline a picture in a vcard on the Z.
This was only possible on the desktop, now is it possible on the Z as well.
Fixed of missing save settings after filter configuration.
Made saving of addressbook much faster.
Fixed extension widget layout problem.
Fixed saving of default formatted name settings.
Fixed formatted name handling in edit dialog.
Added an option for changing formatted names of many contacts
(menu: File - Change - Set formatted name).

QWhatsThis was not working on the Z ( only black rectangle was shown).
This is Fixed.

KDE-Sync:
Now readonly KDE resources are synced as well.
(They are not changed in KDE itself, of course).

 

********** VERSION 1.9.16 ************

KO/Pi:
Fixed search dialog size on Z 6000 (480x640 display).
Added setting to hide/show time in agenda items.
Added setting to hide not running todos in todo view.
Added columns for start date/time in todo view.
Replaced the solid half-hour lines in agenda view by dot lines.
Added possibility of printing the What's Next View on the desktop
(i.e. Windows and Linux).
Fixed a crash in KO/Pi when starting KO/Pi with What's Next view.
Added tooltips in month view.(Tooltips only available on desktop)

Fixed a strange problem in KO/Pi alarm applet.
Did not find the actual problem, 
such that now Qtopia reboots again if deinstalling the alarm applet.
But the alarm applet should work again.

KA/Pi:
Fixed the problem, that internal pictures were not saved.

Fixed a problem in the pi-sync mode by increasing the timeout for data transfer from 20 seconds to 5 minutes.

Fixed some minor problems. (Like word wrap in help text windows).

Fixed a compiling problem in microkde/kresources.

KO/Pi is using zdbat (renamed to db2file) for syncing with Sharp DTM.
This version now includes zdbat 1.0.0 (old version was zdbat 0.2.9)
such that now syncing KO/Pi with Sharp DTM should work on the 
Zaurus C 3000 model.

********** VERSION 1.9.15 ************

Usebilty enhancements in KO/Pi:
When clicking on the date in a month view cell, the day view is shown.
Old behaviour was, that the "new event" dialog popped up.

Added a one step "undo delete" in KO/Pi (Accessable in the "Action" menu). 
That means, you can restore the latest
event/todo/journal you have deleted.
A journal is deleted, if you clear all the text of the journal.

Fixed the bug of the editor dialogs in KO/Pi of version 1.9.14.

KA/Pi  starting in 480x640 resolution:
Hide the filter action in toolbar
and added icons for undo/delete/redo in toolbar.

Change in OM/Pi ViewMail dialog:
When clicking on the "delete" icon the mail is deleted after confirmation as usual. 
But the edit dialog is not closed as before, now the next mail in the folder is shown automatically (if there is any).

Fixed a crash when deleting mail-accounts in OM/Pi.


********** VERSION 1.9.14 ************

Fixed some problems with the dialog sizes when switching 
portrait/landscape mode on 640x480 PDA display.

Fixed some other small bugs in KA/Pi KO/Pi and OM/Pi and PwM/Pi.

Fixed an ugly bug in KOpieMail: 
KOpieMail was not able to write files (mails) to MSDOS file system, 
like on an usual preformatted SD card. That should work now.
To save your mail data on the Sd card do the following:
Create a dir on the SD card:
mkdir /mnt/card/localmail
Go to your home dir:
cd
Go to kopiemail data storage dir:
cd kdepim/apps/kopiemail
Create a symlink to the SD card:
ls -s /mnt/card/localmail
Now KOpieMail will store all mails on the SD card.

KO/Pi Monthview:
Now "Go to Today" selects the current month from day 1-end,
not the current date + some days.
I.e. "Go to Today" shows now always
the current month with first day of month in the first row. 

Added missing German translation.

Fixed icons of executeable on Wintendo.

Added a "Show next Mail" button to the OM/Pi 
mail viewer such that the mail below the current mail
in the mail list view of the current folder
can be read with a single click.


********** VERSION 1.9.13 ************

Fixed nasty PwM/Pi file reading bug, when
the used hash algo of file is different then the global 
hash algo.

Added KA/Pi support for opie mailit mailapplication.

Fixed some bugs in OM/Pi.
Now character conversion tables are available for the Zaurus
to make OM/Pi working properly.
To get the character conversion in OM/Pi working, please download
at the sourceforge project site the package
sr-character-conversion_SharpROM_arm.ipk.zip
(or oz-character-conversion_OZ-gcc3xx_arm.ipk.zip for OZ roms)
from the section "general files for KDE/Pim"
Instructions how to install this package are in a ReadMe in this file.


Fixed the orientation change problem in KA/Pi when switching
portrait/landscape mode.

French translation available for KA/Pi and OM/Pi.

Fixed some problems with categories in KO/Pi in DTM sync.

Added selection dialog for export to phone in KA/Pi.

If in KO/Pi is an attendee selected to add to a meeting and this
attendee is already in the list of attendees, this person is not added
again.

Some menu cleanup in KA/Pi.

********** VERSION 1.9.12 ************

Fix for the bug in KO/Pi What's Next view of version 1.9.11.

Bugfix: Licence file is now shown again.

Fixed some bugs in OM/Pi.

KA/Pi has more German translation.


********** VERSION 1.9.11 ************

Fixed several problems in PWM/Pi, like
asking the user, if unsaved changed are pending
when closing the app.
And PwM/Pi handles now different texts for the
fields Description, Username, Password, configurable per category.

Fixed a crash in KO/Pi , when importing/loading vcs files
which have an entry with an attendee with state:
NEEDS ACTION

Fixed some problems in the German translation of OM/Pi,
which makes some dialogs not fitting on the screen
of the Z 5500.

Fixed Qtopia crash, when disabling/deinstalling
KO/Pi alarm applet.

Implemented direct KDE<->KA/Pi sync for KA/Pi running 
on Linux desktop.

Added feature "remove sync info" to sync menu.

Tweaked the KO/Pi What's next view a bit, added
setting to hide events that are done.

Disabled "beam receive enabled" on startup to 
avoid problems if Fastload is enabled.
Please set "beam receive enabled",
if you want to receive data via IR.

Fixed bug in  direct KDE<->KO/Pi sync for KO/Pi running 
on Linux desktop.

Made in KA/Pi scrolling possible, if details view is selected.
(The keyboard focus is set automatically to the search line)

Fixed a bug in DMT sync, that a new entry in DTM was added 
on every sync to Kx/Pi.

Fixed missing writing of KA/Pi categories to DMT entries when syncing.

Fixed a bug in DMT sync with todos created in KO/Pi containing
non-latin1 characters.

Rearranged package contents of Sharp-ipks and made all
packages installable on SD again.

Fixed the writing of addressbook data in DTM sync.
Empty fields in KA/Pi were not removed. 

Added better category handling in KA/Pi:

Added detailed "KDE Sync Howto" and "Multi Sync Howto" to Help menu.

Fixed displaying of "free" days and time in KO Monthview and Agendaview.

... and many other bugfixes.

********** VERSION 1.9.10 ************

Many internal small bugfixes.
And fix of the "big" bug in KO/Pi, 
that after Syncing the appointments had an offset by several hours.
That was a problem with the internal timezone setting,
introduced by the changed timezone configuration settings.

German translation for OM/Pi is now available.


********** VERSION 1.9.9 ************

KDE-Pim/Pi has a new Member!
It is called PWM/Pi (Passwordmanager/platform-independent) 
and it is available for the Zaurus.
It is planned, that it will be available later for Windows.
(And for Linux, of course).
It is a port of the Passwordmanager of KDE.
It will need the MicroKDElibs to run.

Made loading of addressbooks in KA/Pi up to 7 times faster!
The bigger your addressbook file, the more starting speed 
will you gain. (relatively)

The Qtopia addressbook connector is now platform independend
as well and should work on any platform for importing/exporting
Qtopia and Opie XML files.

Added a +30min feature to the timezone settings to make 
KDE-Pim/Pi useable in Australia and other parts on the 
world with strange timezones ;-)

German "Umlaute" should now be sorted correctly on the Z in KA/Pi.

It is now possible to disable the
"receive data via infrared" feature, such that syncing with
Outlook is now possible again with Kx/Pi runing.
Please disable it, before syncing Sharp DTM with Outlook.
For your convenience, the "receive data via infrared" feature
is disabled automatically, if you sync Kx/Pi with DTM.
You have to enable it again manually after syncing.
Enabling this feature makes it impossible to start the
Sharp DTM apps. If this feature is enabled, you will only get the 
alarm notification from KO/Pi and not from the Sharp calendar.
This is very useful if you sync KO/Pi with Sharp DTM,
because after syncing you usually would get notified about
an alarm by KO/Pi and the Sharp Calendar.

Together with the Linux desktop version of KO/Pi
it is now possible to sync KO/Pi on the Zaurus
with the complete KDE-desktop (3.3 or later)
calendar data easily.
That makes it possible to sync the Z with one 
click of a mouse with the KDE-Desktop.
This feature it available for all Zaurus platforms KO/Pi
is running on.
The only thing needed is a running KO/Pi on Linux and
a compiled version of the small 
KDE-Pim/Pi<->KDE-Desktop access command line program, 
which is in the KDE-Pim/Pi sources available.

The "KDE-desktop" syncing feature for KA/Pi will follow
in the next releases.

Fixed the vcard export bug, which had the version 1.9.8.

Added missing GERMAN translation to KO/Pi.
Hi PsionX, could you add the missing french translation?Thx!

Translation files for KA/Pi are available as well.
GERMAN translation will be available in the next release.
PsionX ( yres, you again ;-) ), could you start translating
KA/Pi? Thx!

You can download the version 1.9.9 at

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604

Note:
To run the mail program OM/Pi you need libopenssl.
A link to a download loaction is available at
ZSI at www.killefiz.de


********** VERSION 1.9.8 ************

Fixed character decoding in OM/Pi.
(e.g. German "Umlaute" were not displayed properly.)

Made is possible to reparent todos in KO/Pi.
Use contextmenu or keys (look at Help-Keys + Colors) for that.

Added the missing Sync-Howto and WhatsNew to the packages.

KO/Pi on Linux desktop can now sync with KDE desktop.
That means: When using KO/Pi on Linux desktop for syncing with
KDE desktop and the Zaurus, the Zaurus can be synced now
with all KDE-Calendar resources, not only with one local file.
(That makes it possible to sync the Zaurus with the 
calendar data on a Kolab server) 

KA/Pi syncing with KDE desktop will be available in the next version.


********** VERSION 1.9.7 ************

KO/Pi - KA/Pi on Windows:
Now a directory can be defined by the user, where the 
application/config data should be saved.
  Define your desired path in the evironment variable
  MICROKDEHOME
  before starting KO/Pi or KA/Pi.

An easy Kx/Pi to Kx/Pi syncing is now possible 
(it is called Pi-Sync) via network.
Please look at the Sync Howto.

Exporting of calendar data and contacts to mobile phones is now possible.
The SyncHowto is updated with information howto
access/sync mobile phones. 
Please look at the Sync Howto.

Now KO/Pi and KA/Pi on the Zaurus can receive data via infrared directly.
Please disable Fastload for the original contact/calendar applications
and close them.
KO/Pi and KA/Pi must be running in order to receive the data.
(KO/Pi and KA/Pi are always running if Fastload for them is enabled!)

In the KA/Pi details view are now the preferred tel. numbers displayed on top 
of the other data ( emails/tel.numbers/addresses)

Fixed some syncing problems in KA/Pi.

Added font settings for the KA/Pi details view.
Added fields "children's name" and "gender" to KA/Pi.

Made searching in KA/Pi better:
Now the first item in a view is selected after a search automatically and
the views can be scrolled up/down when the search input field has the keyboard focus.

And, of course, fixed a bunch of reported bugs in KO/Pi and KA/Pi.


********** VERSION 1.9.6 ************

Changes in the external application communication on the Zaurus 
in order to use less RAM when the apps are running.
First syncing of addressbooks (KA/Pi) is possible.


********** VERSION 1.9.5a ************

Fixed a bug in KO/Pi in the SharpDTM sync of version 1.9.5.
Fixed some small bugs.
KA/Pi shows now the birthday in summary view.
Now OM/Pi and KA/Pi are using the date format defined in KO/Pi
for displaying dates.


********** VERSION 1.9.5 ************

There is still no Addressbook syncing!

New in 1.9.5:

Many bugfixes.
Better searching in KA/Pi.
You can configure in KA/Pi if you want to search only after 
<return> key pressed.

Better mail downloading in OM/Pi.

First experimental alpha version of sync of KO/Pi with mobile phones.
See gammu documentation for supported phones.
You 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.
Quick hint how to use:
NOTE: MOBILE PHONE SYNC IS EXPERIMENTAL!
Install kammu_1.9.5_arm.ipk , libbluetooth and libsdp.
Create syncprofile - mobile device
Remove entry for model. (Leave empty ).
Enable infrared on Zaurus and your Phone.
Sync.
To get a more detailed log, start kopi from konsole.

********** VERSION 1.9.4 ************

This is the version 1.9.4 of KDE-Pim/Pi for the Zaurus.

WARNING:
PLEASE BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA!
We have changed a lot and maybe there are some unknown problems.

SYNC HANDLING HAS CHANGED!
Such that, if you sync now with an already synded device, you will duplicated entries after the first sync.
(This change was introduced to make it possible to sync with mobile phones, which will be available later (maybe in 4 weeks).

You need the kmicrokdelibs_1.9.4_arm.ipk as a base for the other programs.
If 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. 

As programs are available:
KO/Pi (korganizer ipk) - a calendar program.
KA/Pi (kaddressbook ipk ) - an addressbook
OM/Pi (kopiemail ipk ) an email program with pop/smtp and IMAP support.

An alarm notification program ( korganizer-alarm ipk ) for KO/Pi that notifies you about alarms, even if the Zaurus is in suspend mode.
(If you do not see an icon in the taskbar after installing korganizer-alarm, please restart Qtopia)

All the applications are installed in a "Pim" TAB.
If 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

All the application are integrated.
Such 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.

HINT:
If you install KPhone/Pi 0.9.7, it will be called, if you click in KA/Pi on a phone number.

What's new?

SYNC HANDLING HAS CHANGED!
Such that, if you sync now with an already synded device, you will duplicated entries after the first sync.
(This change was introduced to make it possible to sync with mobile phones, which will be available later (maybe in 4 weeks).

New in OM/Pi:
When 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.

New in KO/Pi:
French is now available for KO/Pi.
Choose menu:Actions - Configure:TAB locale
Syncing has changed.
Phone sync available soon.
Not much changes, I cannot remember them ...

New in KA/Pi:
Beaming possible.
Sharp DTM readonly access possible( create a new DTM resource );
Better searching possible.
Search is performed only after pressing the return key.
Use wildcard * to specify parts of a name.

Better 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 * .

A big improvement is the new management of the contact access.
In version 1.9.3, every application was using their own addressbook access data.
That means, the addressbook was loaded up to three times in the memory, when accessed by  KA/Pi, KO/Pi and OM/Pi.
That was wasting of memory, if you had several hundreds of contacts.

Now only KA/Pi accesses the addressbook.
If 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.
If you click on an attendee in a meeting, its contact data is displayed in KA/Pi directly.
That means, if KO/Pi or OM/Pi want to access contact data, KA/Pi is started first.

New in the KO/Pi alarm applet:
Configure your own timer popup menu!
(Text and minutes for timer countdown)
Just edit the file
(yourhomedir)/.kopialarmtimerrc
and start/stop a timer to get a new menu with the data of this file.

********** VERSION 1.9.3 ************
1)
Now KO/Pi on Windows imports directly the calendar data of
an installed Outlook. Should work with OL version >= 2000.
 
********** VERSION 1.9.2 ************
1)
KDE-Pim/Pi has got a new member:
KmicroMail (KM/Pi) is a mail program, 
which can handle IMAP and POP mail access.
It is based on Opie-Mail v3.
All dependencies to the Opie libraries ar removed, 
such that no additional Opie lib is needed.
It is already integrated in KO/Pi and KA/Pi.
It it now available for the Zaurus,probably it 
will be available for other platforms later.
Hint:
Create your own contact (name + email)
in KA/Pi, select this contact and choose menu:
Settings - Set Who Am I.
Now the settings of this contact are used as 
the sender data in KM/Pi.
2)
KDE-Pim/Pi is split up in five different
packages now precompiled for Sharp Zaurus:
--kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk
The libs are needed for any 
of the following programs:
--kaddressbook_1.9.2_arm.ipk
--kmicromail_1.9.2_arm.ipk
--korganizer_1.9.2_arm.ipk
Independ from that, there is the alarm applet
available for KO/Pi, which also offers
quick access for a new mail or
showing the addressbook.:
--korganizer-alarm_1.9.2_arm.ipk
Independend means, that the alarm applet
does not need any of the libs or programs above to run.
But it would be quite useless without these programs.
NOTE:
If you get a
"This application depends on other programs"
during installation of 
--kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk
you probably do not have to care about that.
kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2 will come with some
resource plugins, which needs additional libraries.
(E.g. libopie1, if you want to use the 
opie resource connector in KA/Pi).
If you do not have this libraries installed,
you simply cannot use the resource.
To make it clear:
If the libraries are missing, the applications
using kmicrokdelibs will start, 
because the resources are plugins.
3)
KO/Pi and friends are now installable on SD-Card!
It is recommended to install all libs and apps
on the SD card or all in the internal storage.
There may be problems, if this is mixed.
4)
Fixed two bugs in the alarm notification on Windows.
5)
Great improvement!
KO/Pi uses now the latest version of libical.
Libical is the library which actually reads 
the calendar files and extract the data from it.
With the old version, there were problems
(crashes or program hangs) when licical did read
files, which were not stored from KO/Pi.
I do not know, if the new libical works perfect,
but actually it works much better than
the old version.
There are no problems with compatibility with 
old calendar files of KO/Pi, of course!
6)
New in KA/Pi:
Opie addressbook resource connector available!
You will need libopie1 and the opie addressbook,
of course.
With the Opie addressbook resource connector,
you can access the Opie addressbook readonly in KA/Pi.
If you want to edit or import the data into KA/Pi,
do this:
a) Create an Opie resource.
   (Menu: Settings-Configure Resources).
After configuration and restarting KA/Pi you should see
the Opie contacts in KA/Pi.
b) Select some or all Opie contacts.
(NOTE: +++++
To know exactly, what contacts are Opie contacts, 
do this: Choose menu: 
View-Modify View - TAB Fields.
Select in the above list "Resource" and click
down arrow to add it to the "Selected fields".
Click OK.
Now you have a new column "Resource" in your list,
where you can see, what an Opie resource is.
++++ NOTE end.)
Ok, we do have now some Opie contacts seleted.
(Use SHIFT or CTRL key in order to multiple select).
c) Choose menu: Edit-Copy.
d) Choose menu: Edit-Paste.
e) Select the resource, you want to add the contacts to.
Congrats! Now you have read/write access to the copied 
opie contacts as "real" KA/Pi contacts.


********** VERSION 1.9.1 ************
1)
       +++ IMPORTANT 1 +++

The storing place of the default calendar 
file has changed!
The default calendar file was
Applications/korganizer/mycalendar.ics 
on Zaurus and 
(yourHomeDir)/korganizer/mycalendar.ics 
on Windows/Linux desktop. Now it is
(yourHomeDir)/kdepim/korganizer/mycalendar.ics
on Zaurus, Windows and Linux.
To load the old file, choose menu
File-Load calendar backup.
(It should be loaded automatically
at startup with a warning message displayed).
The place of the configuration file has changed too.
If you want to use your old KO/Pi config,
copy it to 
(yourHomeDir)/kdepim/config/korganizerrc
Please read VERSION 1.9.0 - topic 3) as well!

       +++ IMPORTANT 2 +++

Because of the new paths, you will need
a new version of the KO/Pi alarm applet
for Zaurus.
Use version >= 1.9.1

2)
Now the QWhat'sThis Icon works for items
in the month view as well.
(See VERSION 1.7.8 Topic 1) ).
3)
You can import birtsdays/anniversaries
from KA/Pi into KO/Pi.
Choose menu File-Import birthdays.
If you import twice, already imported items
will not be imported again, if they 
have not been changed in KO/Pi.
4)
When syncing with sharp DTM, now a progress 
is shown, when the data is written back.
If there is much data in KO/Pi and no data
in DTM, that can take a long time.
(But only for the first time ).
5)
In the search dialog, you can search 
now for the name/email of an attendee
of an event/todo.
To get more space for displaying
search results, the buttons
for "search" and "close" on the 
bottom are removed in the PDA version. 
You have to click OK in the top right
corner to do a search.
6)
Now it is possible to disable the displaying
of todo items in the Allday part of the Agenda.
Choose Menu Action-Configure,
TAB Todo View, checkbox
"Allday Agenda view shows todos"
7)
If FastLoad is enabled, now the settings and the 
calendar data are saved, when KO/Pi is closed.
(If no Fastload is enabled, KO/Pi saves
the data as well, of course)
8)
The Agenda View has a minimize-splitter now,
such that the height of the allday part can be
changed quickly.

********** VERSION 1.9.0 ************
1)
KO/Pi is now merged with the new microKDE from KA/Pi.
KO/Pi accesses now KA/Pi as the addressbook.
The other ddressbook-plugins are not working any longer.
(It is planned, that later KA/Pi itself uses these plugins)
New versions of KO/Pi are only available
together with KA/Pi as the KDE-Pim/Pi package. 
2)
If you click on an attendee of a meeting in the
event viewer, a detailed summary of the 
attendee is shown.
3)
The place of the configuration file has changed.
If you want to use your old KO/Pi config, copy
Applications/korganizer/config_korganizerrc
to
Applications/korganizer/config/korganizerrc

********** VERSION 1.7.8 ************
1)
Now the QWhat'sThis ist working.
Enable the QWhat'sThis icon in the toolbar.
(You have to restart to reload the changed toolbar config).
Now click on the QWhat'sThis Icon 
in the top right corner of KO/Pi.
Then click on an item in the Agenda View:
You will get a detailed display of the items content.
2)
Some other very minor changes.
But I have forgotten the details ...
For that reason I start this log here:
To document my changes, when I am doing it.

********** VERSION 1.7.7 ************
Stable Version of KO/Pi
