Chapter 1. Package Updates
• occasionally, a "?" appeared as the last result of the list obtained when viewing the "Select Contacts
from Address Book" dialog. With these updated packages, this incorrect entry no longer occurs in
the dialog window when selecting contacts.
• The IMAP mail protocol distinguishes between messages which are "new" on the server and
messages which are "new" for a mail client. This dichotomy led Evolution Data Server to only
apply filters to one of the "new" groups and not to the other, which meant that email filters were not
applied to certain messages. With these updated packages, filters now apply to all IMAP messages
which are new for the client, with the result that all messages can now be successfully filtered.

• when attempting to connect to an Exchange 2007 server, the server's response sometimes caused
Evolution to segmentation fault. Although the possibility of an Exchange 2007 server's response
causing Evolution to crash has been fixed with these updated packages, it is still not possible for
Evolution to communicate successfully with an Exchange 2007 server.
• when Evolution was configured with two IMAP accounts, deleting one of those accounts could have
caused Evolution to segmentation fault. These updated packages fix a variable referencing error
with the result that disabling a mail account no longer causes Evolution to crash.
• Evolution Data Server could segmentation fault when provided a malformed CalDAV calendar URL.
With these updated packages, Evolution performs better error-checking on calendar URLs, which
prevents this issue from occurring.
• the Exchange connector for Evolution Data Server contained several memory leaks which have
been plugged in these updated packages.
• when adding a new Exchange account, a Mailbox name separate from the user name can now be
specified. (BZ#460671
• when reading a calendar via the CalDAV protocol, Evolution failed to correctly adjust the time of
events based on timezone information.
• improved support for CalDAV.
• attempting to download Exchange messages for offline use caused Evolution to segmentation fault.
Evolution no longer crashes, and downloading Exchange messages works as expected, allowing for
offline use. (BZ#489869
• Evolution incorrectly switched to Daylight Saving Time (DST) one week later than the time when
DST should have started. With these updated packages, DST now takes effect at the correct time.

(BZ#490218 )
• Evolution did not provide notifications for events located on a foreign Exchange calendar. This
update ensures that Evolution is able to notify based on foreign Exchange calendar events in the
same way as for local calendars.
All users of evolution-data-server are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
these issues.
