After more than 8 years of fun, I think -that it's time to open this software to its contributors. Radicale can grow and -become more than the toy it used to be. I've always seen Radicale as a small -and simple piece of code, and I don't want to prevent people from adding -features just because I can't or don't want to maintain them. The community is -now large enough to handle this. - -If you're interested in Radicale, you can -read [#372](https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/issues/372) and build its -future. - -## May 3, 2017 - Radicale 1.1.2 - -Radicale 1.1.2 is out! - -### 1.1.2 - Third Law of Nature - -* **Security fix**: Add a random timer to avoid timing oracles and simple - bruteforce attacks when using the htpasswd authentication method. -* Various minor fixes. - -## December 31, 2015 - Radicale 1.1 - -Radicale 1.1 is out! - -### 1.1 - Law of Nature - -One feature in this release is **not backward compatible**: - -* Use the first matching section for rights (inspired from daald) - -Now, the first section matching the path and current user in your custom rights -file is used. In the previous versions, the most permissive rights of all the -matching sections were applied. This new behaviour gives a simple way to make -specific rules at the top of the file independant from the generic ones. - -Many **improvements in this release are related to security**, you should -upgrade Radicale as soon as possible: - -* Improve the regex used for well-known URIs (by Unrud) -* Prevent regex injection in rights management (by Unrud) -* Prevent crafted HTTP request from calling arbitrary functions (by Unrud) -* Improve URI sanitation and conversion to filesystem path (by Unrud) -* Decouple the daemon from its parent environment (by Unrud) - -Some bugs have been fixed and little enhancements have been added: - -* Assign new items to corret key (by Unrud) -* Avoid race condition in PID file creation (by Unrud) -* Improve the docker version (by cdpb) -* Encode message and commiter for git commits -* Test with Python 3.5 - -## September 14, 2015 - Radicale 1.0, what's next? - -Radicale 1.0 is out! - -### 1.0 - Sunflower - -* Enhanced performances (by Mathieu Dupuy) -* Add MD5-APR1 and BCRYPT for htpasswd-based authentication (by Jan-Philip Gehrcke) -* Use PAM service (by Stephen Paul Weber) -* Don't discard PROPPATCH on empty collections (Markus Unterwaditzer) -* Write the path of the collection in the git message (Matthew Monaco) -* Tests launched on Travis - -As explained in a previous [mail](http://librelist.com/browser//radicale/2015/8/21/radicale-1-0-is-coming-what-s-next/), -this version is called 1.0 because: - -- there are no big changes since 0.10 but some small changes are really useful, -- simple tests are now automatically launched on Travis, and more can be added - in the future (https://travis-ci.org/Kozea/Radicale). - -This version will be maintained with only simple bug fixes on a separate git -branch called ``1.0.x``. - -Now that this milestone is reached, it's time to think about the future. When -Radicale has been created, it was just a proof-of-concept. The main goal was to -write a small, stupid and simple CalDAV server working with Lightning, using no -external libraries. That's how we created a piece of code that's (quite) easy -to understand, to use and to hack. - -The first lines have been added to the SVN (!) repository as I was drinking -beers at the very end of 2008. It's now packaged for a growing number of Linux -distributions. - -And that was fun going from here to there thanks to you. So… **Thank you, -you're amazing**. I'm so glad I've spent endless hours fixing stupid bugs, -arguing about databases and meeting invitations, reading incredibly interesting -RFCs and debugging with the fabulous clients from Apple. I mean: that really, -really was really, really cool :). - -During these years, a lot of things have changed and many users now rely on -Radicale in production. For example, I use it to manage medical calendars, with -thousands requests per day. Many people are happy to install Radicale on their -small home servers, but are also frustrated by performance and unsupported -specifications when they're trying to use it seriously. - -So, now is THE FUTURE! I think that Radicale 2.0 should: - -- rely on a few external libraries for simple critical points (dealing with - HTTP and iCal for example), -- be thread-safe, -- be small, -- be documented in a different way (for example by splitting the client part - from the server part, and by adding use cases), -- let most of the "auth" modules outside in external modules, -- have more and more tests, -- have reliable and faster filesystem and database storage mechanisms, -- get a new design :). - -I'd also secretly love to drop the Python 2.x support. - -These ideas are not all mine (except from the really, really, really important -"design" point :p), they have been proposed by many developers and users. I've -just tried to gather them and keep points that seem important to me. - -Other points have been discussed with many users and contibutors, including: - -- support of other clients, including Windows and BlackBerry phones, -- server-side meeting invitations, -- different storage system as default (or even unique?). - -I'm not a huge fan of these features, either because I can't do anything about -them, or because I think that they're Really Bad Ideas®™. But I'm ready to talk -about them, because, well, I may not be always right! - -Need to talk about this? You know how to [contact us](#contribute)! - -## January 12, 2015 - Radicale 0.10 - -Radicale 0.10 is out! - -### 0.10 - Lovely Endless Grass - -* Support well-known URLs (by Mathieu Dupuy) -* Fix collection discovery (by Markus Unterwaditzer) -* Reload logger config on SIGHUP (by Élie Bouttier) -* Remove props files when deleting a collection (by Vincent Untz) -* Support salted SHA1 passwords (by Marc Kleine-Budde) -* Don't spam the logs about non-SSL IMAP connections to localhost (by Giel van Schijndel) - -This version should bring some interesting discovery and auto-configuration -features, mostly with Apple clients. - -Lots of love and kudos for the people who have spent hours to test features and -report issues, that was long but really useful (and some of you have been -really patient :p). - -Issues are welcome, I'm sure that you'll find horrible, terrible, crazy bugs -faster than me. I'll release a version 0.10.1 if needed. - -What's next? It's time to fix and improve the storage methods. A real API for -the storage modules is a good beginning, many pull requests are already ready -to be discussed and merged, and we will probably get some good news about -performance this time.

And before you ask: yes, 2 web-based clients, -[CalDavZAP and CardDavMATE](http://www.inf-it.com/open-source/clients/), are -now supported! - -Even if there has been a lot of time to test these new features, I am pretty -sure that some really annoying bugs have been left in this version. We will -probably release minor versions with bugfixes during the next weeks, and it -will not take one more year to reach 0.8.1. - -The documentation has been updated, but some parts are missing and some may be -out of date. You can [report bugs](https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/issues) -or even [write documentation directly on GitHub](https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/blob/website/pages/user_documentation.rst) -if you find something strange (and you probably will). - -If anything is not clear, or if the way rights work is a bit complicated to -understand, or if you are so happy because everything works so well, you can -[share your thoughts](#contribute)! - -It has been a real pleasure to work on this version, with brilliant ideas and -interesting bug reports from the community. I'd really like to thank all the -people reporting bugs, chatting on IRC, sending mails and proposing pull -requests: you are awesome. - -## August 3, 2012 - Radicale 0.7.1 - -Radicale 0.7.1 is out! - -### 0.7.1 - Waterfalls - -* Many address books fixes -* New IMAP ACL (by Daniel Aleksandersen) -* PAM ACL fixed (by Daniel Aleksandersen) -* Courier ACL fixed (by Benjamin Frank) -* Always set display name to collections (by Oskari Timperi) -* Various DELETE responses fixed - -It's been a long time since the last version… As usual, many people have -contributed to this new version, that's a pleasure to get these pull requests. - -Most of the commits are bugfixes, especially about ACL backends and address -books. Many clients (including aCal and SyncEvolution) will be much happier -with this new version than with the previous one. - -By the way, one main new feature has been added: a new IMAP ACL backend, by -Daniel. And about authentication, exciting features are coming soon, stay -tuned! - -Next time, as many mails have come from angry and desperate coders, tests will -be *finally* added to help them to add features and fix bugs. And after that, -who knows, it may be time to release Radicale 1.0… - -## March 22, 2012 - Radicale 0.7 - -Radicale 0.7 is out, at least! - -### 0.7 - Eternal Sunshine - -* Repeating events -* Collection deletion -* Courier and PAM authentication methods -* CardDAV support -* Custom LDAP filters supported - -**A lot** of people have reported bugs, proposed new features, added useful -code and tested many clients. Thank you Lynn, Ron, Bill, Patrick, Hidde, -Gerhard, Martin, Brendan, Vladimir, and everybody I've forgotten. - -## January 5, 2012 - Radicale 0.6.4, News from Calypso - -New year, new release. Radicale 0.6.4 has a really short changelog: - -### 0.6.4 - Tulips - -* Fix the installation with Python 3.1 - -The bug was in fact caused by a -[bug in Python 3.1](http://bugs.python.org/issue9561), everything should be OK -now. - -### Calypso - -After a lot of changes in Radicale, Keith Packard has decided to launch a fork -called [Calypso](http://keithp.com/blogs/calypso/), with nice features such -as a Git storage mechanism and a CardDAV support. - -There are lots of differences between the two projects, but the final goal for -Radicale is to provide these new features as soon as possible. Thanks to the -work of Keith and other people on GitHub, a basic CardDAV support has been -added in the [carddav branch](https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/tree/carddav) -and already works with Evolution. Korganizer also works with existing address -books, and CardDAV-Sync will be tested soon. If you want to test other clients, -please let us know! - -## November 3, 2011 - Radicale 0.6.3 - -Radicale version 0.6.3 has been released, with bugfixes that could be -interesting for you! - -### 0.6.3 - Red Roses - -* MOVE requests fixed -* Faster REPORT answers -* Executable script moved into the package - -### What's New Since 0.6.2? - -The MOVE requests were suffering a little bug that is fixed now. These requests -are only sent by Apple clients, Mac users will be happy. - -The REPORT request were really, really slow (several minutes for large -calendars). This was caused by an awful algorithm parsing the entire calendar -for each event in the calendar. The calendar is now only parsed three times, -and the events are found in a Python list, turning minutes into seconds! Much -better, but far from perfection… - -Finally, the executable script parsing the command line options and starting -the HTTP servers has been moved from the ``radicale.py`` file into the -``radicale`` package. Two executable are now present in the archive: the good -old ``radicale.py``, and ``bin/radicale``. The second one is only used by -``setup.py``, where the hack used to rename ``radicale.py`` into ``radicale`` -has therefore been removed. As a consequence, you can now launch Radicale with -the simple ``python -m radicale`` command, without relying on an executable. - -### Time for a Stable Release! - -The next release may be a stable release, symbolically called 1.0. Guess what's -missing? Tests, of course! - -A non-regression testing suite, based on the clients' requests, will soon be -added to Radicale. We're now thinking about a smart solution to store the -tests, to represent the expected answers and to launch the requests. We've got -crazy ideas, so be prepared: you'll definitely *want* to write tests during the -next weeks! - -Repeating events, PAM and Courier authentication methods have already been -added in master. You'll find them in the 1.0 release! - -### What's Next? - -Being stable is one thing, being cool is another one. If you want some cool new -features, you may be interested in: - -- WebDAV and CardDAV support -- Filters and rights management -- Multiple storage backends, such as databases and git -- Freebusy periods -- Email alarms - -Issues have been reported in the bug tracker, you can follow there the latest -news about these features. Your beloved text editor is waiting for you! - -## September 27, 2011 - Radicale 0.6.2 - -0.6.2 is out with minor bugfixes. - -### 0.6.2 - Seeds - -* iPhone and iPad support fixed -* Backslashes replaced by slashes in PROPFIND answers on Windows -* PyPI archive set as default download URL - -## August 28, 2011 - Radicale 0.6.1, Changes, Future - -As previously imagined, a new 0.6.1 version has been released, mainly fixing -obvious bugs. - -### 0.6.1 - Growing Up - -* Example files included in the tarball -* htpasswd support fixed -* Redirection loop bug fixed -* Testing message on GET requests - -The changelog is really small, so there should be no real new problems since -0.6. The example files for logging, FastCGI and WSGI are now included in the -tarball, for the pleasure of our dear packagers! - -A new branch has been created for various future bug fixes. You can expect to -get more 0.6.x versions, making this branch a kind of "stable" branch with no -big changes. - -### GitHub, Mailing List, New Website - -A lot of small changes occurred during the last weeks. - -If you're interested in code and new features, please note that we moved the -project from Gitorious to GitHub. Being hosted by Gitorious was a -nice experience, but the service was not that good and we were missing some -useful features such as git hooks. Moreover, GitHub is really popular, we're -sure that we'll meet a lot of kind users and coders there. - -We've also created a mailing-list on Librelist to keep a public -trace of the mails we're receiving. It a bit empty now, but we're sure that -you'll soon write us some kind words. For example, you can tell us what you -think of our new website! - -### Future Features - -In the next weeks, new exciting features are coming in the master branch! Some -of them are almost ready: - -- Henry-Nicolas has added the support for the PAM and Courier-Authdaemon - authentication mechanisms. -- An anonymous called Keith Packard has prepared some small changes, such as - one file per event, cache and git versioning. Yes. Really. - -As you can find in the [Radicale Roadmap](http://redmine.kozea.fr/versions/), -tests, rights and filters are expected for 0.7. - -## August 1, 2011 - Radicale 0.6 Released - -Time for a new release with **a lot** of new exciting features! - -### 0.6 - Sapling - -* WSGI support -* IPv6 support -* Smart, verbose and configurable logs -* Apple iCal 4 and iPhone support (by Łukasz Langa) -* CalDAV-Sync support (by Marten Gajda) -* aCal support -* KDE KOrganizer support -* LDAP auth backend (by Corentin Le Bail) -* Public and private calendars (by René Neumann) -* PID file -* MOVE requests management -* Journal entries support -* Drop Python 2.5 support - -Well, it's been a little longer than expected, but for good reasons: a lot of -features have been added, and a lot of clients are known to work with Radicale, -thanks to kind contributors. That's definitely good news! But… - -Testing all the clients is really painful, moreover for the ones from Apple (I -have no Mac nor iPhone of my own). We should seriously think of automated -tests, even if it's really hard to maintain, and maybe not that useful. If -you're interested in tests, you can look at -[the wonderful regression suite of DAViCal](http://repo.or.cz/w/davical.git/tree/HEAD:/testing/tests/regression-suite). - -The new features, for example the WSGI support, are also poorly documented. If -you have some Apache or lighttpd configuration working with Radicale, you can -make the world a little bit better by writing a paragraph or two in the -[Radicale documentation](https://gitorious.org/radicale/website). It's simple -plain text, don't be afraid! - -Because of all these changes, Radicale 0.6 may be a little bit buggy; a 0.6.1 -will probably be released soon, fixing small problems with clients and -features. Get ready to report bugs, I'm sure that you can find one (and fix -it)! - -## July 2, 2011 - Feature Freeze for 0.6 - -According to the [roadmap](http://redmine.kozea.fr/projects/radicale/roadmap), -a lot of features have been added since Radicale 0.5, much more than -expected. It's now time to test Radicale with your favourite client and to -report bugs before we release the next stable version! - -Last week, the iCal and iPhone support written by Łukasz has been fixed in -order to restore the broken Lightning support. After two afternoons of tests -with Rémi, we managed to access the same calendar with Lightning, iCal, iPhone -and Evolution, and finally discovered that CalDAV could also be a perfect -instant messaging protocol between a Mac, a PC and a phone. - -After that, we've had the nice surprise to see events displayed without a -problem (but after some strange steps of configuration) by aCal on Salem's -Android phone. - -It was Friday, fun fun fun fun. - -So, that's it: Radicale supports Lightning, Evolution, Kontact, aCal for -Android, iPhone and iCal. Of course, before releasing a new tarball: - -- [documentation](1.1.html#documentation/user-documentation/simple-usage/starting-the-client) is needed for the - new clients that are not documented yet (Kontact, aCal and iPhone); -- tests are welcome, particularly for the Apple clients that I can't test - anymore; -- no more features will be added, they'll wait in separate branches for the 0.7 - development. - -Please [report bugs](http://redmine.kozea.fr/projects/radicale/issues) if -anything goes wrong during your tests, or just let us know -[by Jabber or by mail](#contribute) if everything is OK. - -## May 1, 2011 - Ready for WSGI - -Here it is! Radicale is now ready to be launched behind your favourite HTTP -server (Apache, Lighttpd, Nginx or Tomcat for example). That's really good -news, because: - -- Real HTTP servers are much more efficient and reliable than the default - Python server used in Radicale; -- All the authentication backends available for your server will be available - for Radicale; -- Thanks to [flup](http://trac.saddi.com/flup), Radicale can be interfaced - with all the servers supporting CGI, AJP, FastCGI or SCGI; -- Radicale works very well without any additional server, without any - dependencies, without configuration, just as it was working before; -- This one more feature removes useless code, less is definitely more. - -The WSGI support has only be tested as a stand-alone executable and behind -Lighttpd, you should definitely try if it works with you favourite server too! - -No more features will be added before (quite) a long time, because a lot of -documentation and test is waiting for us. If you want to write tutorials for -some CalDAV clients support (iCal, Android, iPhone), HTTP servers support or -logging management, feel free to fork the documentation git repository and ask -for a merge. It's plain text, I'm sure you can do it! - -## April 30, 2011 - Apple iCal Support - -After a long, long work, the iCal support has finally been added to Radicale! -Well, this support is only for iCal 4 and is highly experimental, but you can -test it right now with the git master branch. Bug reports are welcome! - -Dear MacOS users, you can thank all the gentlemen who sended a lot of debugging -iformation. Special thanks to Andrew from DAViCal, who helped us a lot with his -tips and his tests, and Rémi Hainaud who lent his laptop for the final tests. - -The default server address is ``localhost:5232/user/``, where calendars can be -added. Multiple calendars and owner-less calendars are not tested yet, but they -should work quite well. More documentation will be added during the next -days. It will then be time to release the Radicale 0.6 version, and work on the -WSGI support. - -## April 25, 2011 - Two Features and One New Roadmap - -Two features have just reached the master branch, and the roadmap has been -refreshed. - -### LDAP Authentication - -Thanks to Corentin, the LDAP authentication is now included in Radicale. The -support is experimental and may suffer unstable connexions and security -problems. If you are interested in this feature (a lot of people seem to be), -you can try it and give some feedback. - -No SSL support is included yet, but this may be quite easy to add. By the way, -serious authentication methods will rely on a "real" HTTP server, as soon as -Radicale supports WSGI. - -### Journal Entries - -Mehmet asked for the journal entries (aka. notes or memos) support, that's -done! This also was an occasion to clean some code in the iCal parser, and to -add a much better management of multi-lines entries. People experiencing crazy -`X-RADICALE-NAME` entries can now clean their files, Radicale won't pollute -them again. - -### New Roadmap - -Except from htpasswd and LDAP, most of the authentication backends (database, -SASL, PAM, user groups) are not really easy to include in Radicale. The easiest -solution to solve this problem is to give Radicale a CGI support, to put it -behind a solid server such as Apache. Of course, CGI is not enough: a WSGI -support is quite better, with the FastCGI, AJP and SCGI backends offered by -[flup](http://trac.saddi.com/flup/). Quite exciting, isn't it? - -That's why it was important to add new versions on the roadmap. The 0.6 version -is now waiting for the Apple iCal support, and of course for some tests to kill -the last remaining bugs. The only 0.7 feature will be WSGI, allowing many new -authentication methods and a real multithread support. - -After that, 0.8 may add CalDAV rights and filters, while 1.0 will draw -thousands of rainbows and pink unicorns (WebDAV sync, CardDAV, Freebusy). A lot -of funky work is waiting for you, hackers! - -### Bugs - -Many bugs have also been fixed, most of them due to the owner-less calendars -support. Radicale 0.6 may be out in a few weeks, you should spend some time -testing the master branch and filling the bug tracker. - -## April 10, 2011 - New Features - -Radicale 0.5 was released only 8 days ago, but 3 new features have already been -added to the master branch: - -- IPv6 support, with multiple addresses/ports support -- Logs and debug mode -- Owner-less calendars - -Most of the code has been written by Necoro and Corentin, and that was not easy -at all: Radicale is now multithreaded! For sure, you can find many bugs and -report them on the -[bug tracker](http://redmine.kozea.fr/projects/radicale/issues). And if you're -fond of logging, you can even add a default configuration file and more debug -messages in the source. - -## April 2, 2011 - Radicale 0.5 Released - -Radicale 0.5 is out! Here is what's new: - -### 0.5 - Historical Artifacts - -* Calendar depth -* iPhone support -* MacOS and Windows support -* HEAD requests management -* htpasswd user from calendar path - -iPhone support, but no iCal support for 0.5, despite our hard work, sorry! -After 1 month with no more activity on the dedicated bug, it was time to forget -it and hack on new awesome features. Thanks for your help, dear Apple users, I -keep the hope that one day, Radicale will work with you! - -So, what's next? As promised, some cool git branches will soon be merged, with -LDAP support, logging, IPv6 and anonymous calendars. Sounds pretty cool, heh? -Talking about new features, more and more people are asking for a CardDAV -support in Radicale. A git branch and a feature request are open, feel free to -hack and discuss. - -## February 3, 2011 - Jabber Room and iPhone Support - -After a lot of help and testing work from Andrew, Björn, Anders, Dorian and -Pete (and other ones we could have forgotten), a simple iPhone support has been -added in the git repository. If you are interested, you can test this feature -*right now* by -[downloading the latest git version](#download//git-repository) -(a tarball is even available too if you don't want or know how to use git). - -No documentation has been written yet, but using the right URL in the -configuration should be enough to synchronize your calendars. If you have any -problems, you can ask by joining our new Jabber room: -radicale@room.jabber.kozea.fr. - -Radicale 0.5 will be released as soon as the iCal support is ready. If you have -an Apple computer, Python skills and some time to spend, we'd be glad to help -you debugging Radicale. - -## October 21, 2010 - News from Radicale - -During the last weeks, Radicale has not been idle, even if no news have been -posted since August. Thanks to Pete, Pierre-Philipp and Andrew, we're trying to -add a better support on MacOS, Windows and mobile devices like iPhone and -Android-based phones. - -All the tests on Windows have been successful: launching Radicale and using -Lightning as client works without any problems. On Android too, some testers -have reported clients working with Radicale. These were the good news. - -The bad news come from Apple: both iPhone and MacOS default clients are not -working yet, despite the latest enhancements given to the PROPFIND -requests. The problems are quite hard to debug due to our lack of Apple -hardware, but Pete is helping us in this difficult quest! Radicale 0.5 will be -out as soon as these two clients are working. - -Some cool stuff is coming next, with calendar collections and groups, and a -simple web-based CalDAV client in early development. Stay tuned! - -## August 8, 2010 - Radicale 0.4 Released - -Radicale 0.4 is out! Here is what's new: - -### 0.4 - Hot Days Back - -* Personal calendars -* HEAD requests -* Last-Modified HTTP header -* ``no-ssl`` and ``foreground`` options -* Default configuration file - -This release has mainly been released to help our dear packagers to include a default configuration file and to write init scripts. Big thanks to Necoro for his work on the new Gentoo ebuild! - -## July 4, 2010 - Three Features Added Last Week - -Some features have been added in the git repository during the last weeks, -thanks to Jerome and Mariusz! - -Personal Calendars - Calendars accessed through the htpasswd ACL module can now be - personal. Thanks to the ``personal`` option, a user called ``bob`` can access - calendars at ``/bob/*`` but not to the ``/alice/*`` ones. - -HEAD Requests - Radicale can now answer HEAD requests. HTTP headers can be retrieved thanks - to this request, without getting contents given by the GET requests. - -Last-Modified HTTP header - The Last-Modified header gives the last time when the calendar has been - modified. This is used by some clients to cache the calendars and not - retrieving them if they have not been modified. - -## June 14, 2010 - Radicale 0.3 Released - -Radicale 0.3 is out! Here is what’s new: - -### 0.3 - Dancing Flowers - -* Evolution support -* Version management - -The website changed a little bit too, with some small HTML5 and CSS3 features -such as articles, sections, transitions, opacity, box shadows and rounded -corners. If you’re reading this website with Internet Explorer, you should -consider using a standard-compliant browser! - -Radicale is now included in Squeeze, the testing branch of Debian. A -[Radicale ebuild for Gentoo](http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322811) has -been proposed too. If you want to package Radicale for another distribution, -you’re welcome! - -Next step is 0.5, with calendar collections, and Windows and MacOS support. - -## May 31, 2010 - May News -### News from contributors - -Jonas Smedegaard packaged Radicale for Debian last week. Two packages, called -``radicale`` for the daemon and ``python-radicale`` for the module, have been -added to Sid, the unstable branch of Debian. Thank you, Jonas! - -Sven Guckes corrected some of the strange-English-sentences present on this -website. Thank you, Sven! - -### News from software - -A simple ``VERSION`` has been added in the library: you can now play with -``radicale.VERSION`` and ``$radicale --version``. - -After playing with the version (should not be too long), you may notice that -the next version is called 0.3, and not 0.5 as previously decided. The 0.3 main -goal is to offer the support for Evolution as soon as possible, without waiting -for the 0.5. After more than a month of test, we corrected all the bugs we -found and everything seems to be fine; we can imagine that a brand new tarball -will be released during the first days of June. - -## April 19, 2010 - Evolution Supported - -Radicale now supports another CalDAV client: -[Evolution, the default mail, addressbook and calendaring client for Gnome](http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/). -This feature was quite easy to add, as it required less than 20 new lines of -code in the requests handler. - -If you are interested, just clone the -[git repository](http://www.gitorious.org/radicale/radicale). - -## April 13, 2010 - Radicale 0.2 Released - -Radicale 0.2 is out! Here is what’s new: - -### 0.2 - Snowflakes - -* Sunbird pre-1.0 support -* SSL connection -* Htpasswd authentication -* Daemon mode -* User configuration -* Twisted dependency removed -* Python 3 support -* Real URLs for PUT and DELETE -* Concurrent modification reported to users -* Many bugs fixed by Roger Wenham - -First of all, we would like to thank Roger Wenham for his bugfixes and his -supercool words. - -You may have noticed that Sunbird 1.0 has not been released, but according to -the Mozilla developers, 1.0pre is something like a final version. - -You may have noticed too that Radicale can be -[downloaded from PyPI](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Radicale/0.2). Of course, it -is also available on the [download page](#download). - -## January 21, 2010 - HTTPS and Authentication - -HTTPS connections and authentication have been added to Radicale this -week. Command-line options and personal configuration files are also ready for -test. According to the TODO file included in the package, the next version will -finally be 0.2, when sunbird 1.0 is out. Go, Mozilla hackers, go! - -HTTPS connection - HTTPS connections are now available using the standard TLS mechanisms. Give - Radicale a private key and a certificate, and your data are now safe. - -Authentication - A simple authentication architecture is now available, allowing different - methods thanks to different modules. The first two modules are ``fake`` (no - authentication) and ``htpasswd`` (authentication with an ``htpasswd`` file - created by the Apache tool). More methods such as LDAP are coming soon! - -## January 15, 2010 - Ready for Python 3 - -Dropping Twisted dependency was the first step leading to another big feature: -Radicale now works with Python 3! The code was given a small cleanup, with some -simplifications mainly about encoding. Before the 0.1.1 release, feel free to -test the git repository, all Python versions from 2.5 should be OK. - -## January 11, 2010 - Twisted no Longer Required - -Good news! Radicale 0.1.1 will support Sunbird 1.0, but it has another great -feature: it has no external dependency! Twisted is no longer required for the -git version, removing about 50 lines of code. - -## December 31, 2009 - Lightning and Sunbird 1.0b2pre Support - -Lightning/Sunbird 1.0b2pre is out, adding minor changes in CalDAV support. A -[new commit](http://www.gitorious.org/radicale/radicale/commit/330283e) makes -Radicale work with versions 0.9, 1.0b1 et 1.0b2. Moreover, etags are now quoted -according to the RFC 2616. - -## December 9, 2009 - Thunderbird 3 released - -[Thunderbird 3 is out](http://www.mozillamessaging.com/thunderbird/3.0/releasenotes/), -and Lightning/Sunbird 1.0 should be released in a few days. The -[last commit in git](http://gitorious.org/radicale/radicale/commit/6545bc8) -should make Radicale work with versions 0.9 and 1.0b1pre. Radicale 0.1.1 will -soon be released adding support for version 1.0. - -## September 1, 2009 - Radicale 0.1 Released - -First Radicale release!
