Changelog

This document describes changes between releases of pimsync. Until v1.0.0, the public API is still subject to change. This includes commands, arguments and configuration directives. Upon the release of v1.0.0, backwards incompatible changes will be avoided unless absolutely necessary.

v0.4.1

  • Don’t build documentation website with make build.

v0.4.0

  • Implement a new on_delete directive to protect collections from deletion.

  • Normalise timezone order when comparing items. This reduces false positive comparisons and conflicts when servers automatically re-order timezone components.

  • When warning about emptied collections, clarify which storage was empty.

  • Fix crash if a previous execution left behind an sqlite journal file.

  • Perform a few operations (including initialisation and discovery) concurrently, improving start-up times and plan times.

  • Improve the conflict resolution UI.

  • Implement a sphinx-based website, published via CI.

v0.3.0

  • Remove unnecessary storage locks when synchronising. Previously storages were locked to avoid concurrent executions. Instead, ensure that individual items are not modified concurrently.

  • Implement monitoring via inotify for vdir storages. Other platforms will continue to rely on polling.

  • Fixed bug including timezones when synchronising from a Webcal storage.

  • Fixed support for keep a and keep b as conflict_resolution parameters.

  • Implemented the shell mechanism for directives. See pimsync.conf(5) for details.

  • Skip uploading unchanged items during conflict resolution. Fixes resolving conflicts with read-only storages (e.g.: Webcal).

  • Fix interval directives in storages not being parsed.

v0.2.0

  • Several documentation improvements.

  • A minimal website is now available, and the documentation is now available online too: <https://pimsync.whynothugo.nl/>

  • Reject configuration file on superfluous parameter.

  • Attempt to use the provided URL before doing service discovery. If the URL provided in the configuration file is a valid context URL for a DAV server, discovery is skipped entirely.

  • Fixed some erroneous handling of percent-encoded characters in URLs.

  • Prompt early for all required credentials. This speeds up start-up, since there’s no network IO between prompts.

v0.1.0

  • Renamed project to pimsync.

  • Redesigned configuration file.

  • Include a man page for pimsync(1) and pimsync.conf(5).

  • Several minor fixes.

  • Introduce support for Dav over Unix sockets.

  • Allow specifying a custom configuration file.

  • Many documentation improvements.

  • Collection ID was sometimes referred to as “collection name”. All references now specify “collection id”

  • The http storage is now named webcal.

Previous development versions were named vdirsyncer. See History for background on this.
