Version 0.4.4

yet to be released

  • Support for client certificates via the new auth_cert parameter, see issue #182 and pull request #183.
  • The icalendar package is no longer required.
  • Several bugfixes related to collection creation.

Version 0.4.3

released on 20 February 2015

  • More performance improvements to singlefile-storage.
  • Add post_hook param to filesystem-storage.
  • Collection creation now also works with SabreDAV-based servers, such as Baikal or ownCloud.
  • Removed some workarounds for Radicale. Upgrading to the latest Radicale will fix the issues.
  • Fixed issues with iCloud discovery.
  • Vdirsyncer now includes a simple repair command that seeks to fix some broken items.

Version 0.4.2

released on 30 January 2015

  • Vdirsyncer now respects redirects when uploading and updating items. This might fix issues with Zimbra.
  • Relative status_path values are now interpreted as relative to the configuration file’s directory.
  • Fixed compatibility with custom SabreDAV servers. See issue #166.
  • Catch harmless threading exceptions that occur when shutting down vdirsyncer. See issue #167.
  • Vdirsyncer now depends on atomicwrites.
  • Massive performance improvements to singlefile-storage.
  • Items with extremely long UIDs should now be saved properly in filesystem-storage. See issue #173.

Version 0.4.1

released on 05 January 2015

  • All create arguments from all storages are gone. Vdirsyncer now asks if it should try to create collections.
  • The old config values True, False, on, off and None are now invalid.
  • UID conflicts are now properly handled instead of ignoring one item. Card- and CalDAV servers are already supposed to take care of those though.
  • Official Baikal support added.

Version 0.4.0

released on 31 December 2014

  • The passwordeval parameter has been renamed to password_command.
  • The old way of writing certain config values such as lists is now gone.
  • Collection discovery has been rewritten. Old configuration files should be compatible with it, but vdirsyncer now caches the results of the collection discovery. You have to run vdirsyncer discover if collections were added or removed on one side.
  • Pair and storage names are now restricted to certain characters. Vdirsyncer will issue a clear error message if your configuration file is invalid in that regard.
  • Vdirsyncer now supports the XDG-Basedir specification. If the VDIRSYNCER_CONFIG environment variable isn’t set and the ~/.vdirsyncer/config file doesn’t exist, it will look for the configuration file at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vdirsyncer/config.
  • Some improvements to CardDAV and CalDAV discovery, based on problems found with FastMail. Support for .well-known-URIs has been added.

Version 0.3.4

released on 8 December 2014

  • Some more bugfixes to config handling.

Version 0.3.3

released on 8 December 2014

  • Vdirsyncer now also works with iCloud. Particularly collection discovery and etag handling were fixed.
  • Vdirsyncer now encodes Cal- and CardDAV requests differently. This hasn’t been well-tested with servers like Zimbra or SoGo, but isn’t expected to cause any problems.
  • Vdirsyncer is now more robust regarding invalid responses from CalDAV servers. This should help with future compatibility with Davmail/Outlook.
  • Fix a bug when specifying item_types of vdirsyncer.storage.CaldavStorage in the deprecated config format.
  • Fix a bug where vdirsyncer would ignore all but one character specified in unsafe_href_chars of vdirsyncer.storage.CaldavStorage and vdirsyncer.storage.CarddavStorage.

Version 0.3.2

released on 3 December 2014

  • The current config format has been deprecated, and support for it will be removed in version 0.4.0. Vdirsyncer warns about this now.

Version 0.3.1

released on 24 November 2014

  • Fixed a bug where vdirsyncer would delete items if they’re deleted on side A but modified on side B. Instead vdirsyncer will now upload the new items to side A. See issue #128.
  • Synchronization continues with the remaining pairs if one pair crashes, see issue #121.
  • The processes config key is gone. There is now a --max-workers option on the CLI which has a similar purpose. See pull request #126.
  • The Read The Docs-theme is no longer required for building the docs. If it is not installed, the default theme will be used. See issue #134.

Version 0.3.0

released on 20 September 2014

  • Add verify_fingerprint parameter to vdirsyncer.storage.HttpStorage, vdirsyncer.storage.CaldavStorage and vdirsyncer.storage.CarddavStorage, see issue #99 and pull request #106.
  • Add passwordeval parameter to General Section, see issue #108 and pull request #117.
  • Emit warnings (instead of exceptions) about certain invalid responses from the server, see issue #113. This is apparently required for compatibility with Davmail.

Version 0.2.5

released on 27 August 2014

  • Don’t ask for the password of one server more than once and fix multiple concurrency issues, see issue #101.
  • Better validation of DAV endpoints.

Version 0.2.4

released on 18 August 2014

  • Include workaround for collection discovery with latest version of Radicale.
  • Include metadata files such as the changelog or license in source distribution, see issue #97 and issue #98.

Version 0.2.3

released on 11 August 2014

  • Vdirsyncer now has a --version flag, see issue #92.
  • Fix a lot of bugs related to special characters in URLs, see issue #49.

Version 0.2.2

released on 04 August 2014

  • Remove a security check that caused problems with special characters in DAV URLs and certain servers. On top of that, the security check was nonsensical. See issue #87 and issue #91.
  • Change some errors to warnings, see issue #88.
  • Improve collection autodiscovery for servers without full support.

Version 0.2.1

released on 05 July 2014

  • Fix bug where vdirsyncer shows empty addressbooks when using CardDAV with Zimbra.
  • Fix infinite loop when password doesn’t exist in system keyring.
  • Colorized errors, warnings and debug messages.
  • vdirsyncer now depends on the click package instead of argvard.

Version 0.2.0

released on 12 June 2014

  • vdirsyncer now depends on the icalendar package from PyPI, to get rid of its own broken parser.
  • vdirsyncer now also depends on requests_toolbelt. This makes it possible to guess the authentication type instead of blankly assuming basic.
  • Fix a semi-bug in caldav and carddav storages where a tuple (href, etag) instead of the proper etag would have been returned from the upload method. vdirsyncer might do unnecessary copying when upgrading to this version.
  • Add the storage vdirsyncer.storage.SingleFileStorage. See issue #48.
  • The collections parameter for pair sections now accepts the special values from a and from b for automatically discovering collections. See Pair Section.
  • The read_only parameter was added to storage sections. See Storage Section.

Version 0.1.5

released on 14 May 2014

  • Introduced changelogs
  • Many bugfixes
  • Many doc fixes
  • vdirsyncer now doesn’t necessarily need UIDs anymore for synchronization.
  • vdirsyncer now aborts if one collection got completely emptied between synchronizations. See issue #42.
