********** 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
