WARNING
|
|
|
|
Evolution 1.1.1 is a BETA quality release. This means that it has
|
|
bugs, including possibly destructive bugs that can cause valuable data
|
|
to be lost.
|
|
|
|
For this reason, please make sure you back up your mail and your
|
|
calendar/addressbook information before using Evolution 1.1.1 on them.
|
|
In particular, you are strongly advised to backup the `evolution'
|
|
directory in your home directory if you are upgrading from a 1.0.x
|
|
version of Evolution to Evolution 1.1.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
UPGRADING FROM 1.0.x
|
|
|
|
The format of certain configuration files has changed in this version
|
|
of Evolution. When you start Evolution 1.1.1 for the first time, it
|
|
will automatically migrate your configuration so that it will work as
|
|
expected with this version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
RETURNING TO 1.0.x
|
|
|
|
If you want to return to a 1.0.x version after trying 1.1.1, you have
|
|
to restore the original configuration files. From the command-line,
|
|
you can do the following, after having quit Evolution:
|
|
|
|
killev
|
|
cd ~/evolution
|
|
mv filters.xml.bak-1.0 filters.xml
|
|
mv vfolders.xml.bak-1.0 vfolders.xml
|
|
mv shortcuts.xml.bak-1.0 shortcuts.xml
|
|
mv mail/imap.bak-1.0 mail/imap
|
|
|
|
Note that any changes to filters, vfolders or shortcuts made with
|
|
1.1.1 will be lost after this operation.
|
|
|
|
Also note that the upgrade mechanism runs automatically only the first
|
|
time you run 1.1.1. For this reason, if you run Evolution 1.1.1, then
|
|
go back to 1.0 using the aforementioned procedure, and then go back to
|
|
using 1.1.1 again, the settings will not be upgraded.
|
|
|
|
To force the upgrade to happen again in this case, use the following
|
|
command to start Evolution 1.1.1:
|
|
|
|
evolution --force-upgrade
|
|
|
|
|
|
SEARCH CRITERIA CHANGES
|
|
|
|
When you specify multiple words in search "contains" criterion,
|
|
Evolution will now search the mail messages that contain all the words
|
|
specified, in any order. (The 1.0.x behavior was to look for the
|
|
whole string in "subject contains" matches, and matched no messages in
|
|
the case of body searches.)
|
|
|
|
This applies to the search bar, the filter rules and the vfolder
|
|
rules. Filter rules and vfolder rules might need to be re-adjusted
|
|
after you upgrade to version 1.1.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
IMAP FOLDER NAME CHANGES (I18N)
|
|
|
|
If you created any folder names using non-ASCII characters using prior
|
|
versions of Evolution, you will find they may not be displayed
|
|
properly anymore. This is because previous versions did not implement
|
|
IMAP I18N folder names correctly as specified in RFC 2060.
|
|
|
|
The upgrade script will try to rectify any filters or vfolders using
|
|
any such names. However, as it does not know the character set used
|
|
by the server, non ISO-8859-1 (latin-1) characters will not be
|
|
properly converted. You may need to reverify the filter and vFolder
|
|
rules in this case.
|
|
|
|
Also note that if such folder names do not display properly that it is
|
|
purely cosmetic and may be fixed by renaming the folder(s) in
|
|
question.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KNOWN BUGS
|
|
|
|
If you have any unnamed contact lists in any of your addressbook
|
|
folders, you might experience hangs and/or crashes when specifying
|
|
destination addresses, for example when composing meeting requests.
|
|
Giving a name to all the contact lists will fix the problem. This
|
|
problem will be fixed in the next Evolution release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE FOR SOLARIS/CDE USERS
|
|
|
|
This release of Evolution doesn't install icons in the CDE
|
|
"Application" group as Evolution 1.0.x used to do. While this doesn't
|
|
affect users who are running Ximian Desktop, users who wish to run
|
|
Evolution under the CDE environment will also have to set the PATH,
|
|
GNOME_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to point to the
|
|
Evolution installation before launching the `evolution' executable.
|
|
|
|
This can be done, for example, with a shell script like the following:
|
|
|
|
PATH=/opt/gnome/bin:/usr/bin:${PATH}
|
|
GNOME_PATH=/opt/gnome:/usr
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib:/usr/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
|
|
|
|
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH GNOME_PATH PATH
|
|
|
|
exec evolution
|
|
|
|
This problem will be fixed in the next release of Evolution.
