• Collection / Principal maintenance screens will no longer cause query errors during the create action.

Downloading DAViCal

Debian / Ubuntu

Debian Sid/Lenny & Ubuntu Lynx

AWL and DAViCal are in Debian Sid & Lenny and can be installed directly with apt-get.

Older Ubuntu & Debian releases

While older DAViCal packages are present in several releases of Ubuntu, you may want to consider installing a more recent version from:

deb http://debian.mcmillan.net.nz/debian lenny awm

These packages will work with earlier versions of Debian & Ubuntu as long as versions of PostgreSQL (8.1 or later, 8.4 preferred) & PHP (5.1 or later, 5.3 preferred) are used.

Gentoo

An ebuild should be available in due course, within the 'sunrise' overlay.

Notes

iCal 4.x Users

If you previously configured 'override_dav_header' option you can undo that now.

Horde Users

Horde (from Git) might complain about DAViCal using an outdated WebDAV version. This is due to a bug in Horde when reading the DAV headers, as described at http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/9251 .
