+
+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

+
+###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.

+The bad news come from Apple: both iPhone and MacOS default clients are not

+title: 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.

+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.

+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

+- 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

+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](/user_documentation/#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.

+* 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

+###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.

+
+
+###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

+[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!

+* 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…

+
+* New authentication and rights management modules (by Matthias Jordan)
+* Experimental database storage
+* Command-line option for custom configuration file (by Mark Adams)
+* Root URL not at the root of a domain (by Clint Adams, Fabrice Bellet, Vincent Untz)
+* Improved support for iCal, CalDAVSync, CardDAVSync, CalDavZAP and CardDavMATE
+* Empty PROPFIND requests handled (by Christoph Polcin)
+* Colon allowed in passwords
+* Configurable realm message
+
+This version brings some of the biggest changes since Radicale's creation,
+including an experimental support of database storage, clean authentication
+modules, and rights management finally designed for real users.
+
+So, dear user, be careful: **this version changes important things in the
+configuration file, so check twice that everything is OK when you update to
+0.8, or you can have big problems**.
+
+More and more clients are supported, as a lot of bug fixes and features have
+been added for this purpose. 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.

+
+What's next? It's time to fix and improve the storage methods. A real API for

+* 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/)!

+###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
