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!
