Database Upgrade

A database upgrade is desirable for release 0.9.6. The database will need to be at release 1.2.3, at a minimum.

Functionality Changes

Initial Support for the Draft Scheduling Extensions to CalDAV.

  • Free/Busy enquiry per CalDAV Scheduling Extensions to WebDAV (draft)
  • Basic interoperation with Mozilla Calendar 0.9 free/busy handling
  • Basic interoperation with iCal 3 free/busy handling
  • Support for the draft calendar-user-principal extension

Bug Fixes

  • When importing whole iCalendar calendars, repeating events with exceptions are now handled correctly.
  • A number of properties were returned to 'allprop' requests when they should not have been.

Other Changes

  • Changes to the administration interface to support the database changes for the Scheduling extensions.
  • A new configuration option $c->readonly_webdav_collections = true; is added, to force all calendar modifications to be via CalDAV.
  • A new configuration option is added,
  • Substantial refactoring of REPORT and PROPFIND handling.
  • More complete coverage of the DAV 'principal' and it's properties, as defined in RFC3744.
  • Rewriting of all XML handling to be case sensitive. This should assist performance slightly.
  • A webdav request for an empty calendar will now return a calendar with no events, rather than a 'resource not found' response.
  • The French translation has been updated.

Notes

  • It is essential to upgrade the AWL library along with DAViCal, as some of the XML case-sensitivity changes occur there also.
  • On upgrade to 0.9.6 all calendars will identify themselves as scheduling capable, and scheduling inboxes & outboxes will be automatically created for each user, as requests to them are made.
