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