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.

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.

======================

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>`_.

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>`_.

==========================

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!


Friday, January 15, 2010
========================

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.


Monday, January 11, 2010
========================

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.


Thursday, December 31, 2009
===========================

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`.


Wednesday, December 9, 2009
===========================

`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.


Tuesday, September 1, 2009
==========================

First Radicale release! Here is the changelog:

0.1 - Crazy Vegetables
----------------------

* First release
* Lightning/Sunbird 0.9 compatibility
* Easy installer

You can download this version on the `download page </download>`_.


Tuesday, July 28, 2009

page on Gitorious <http://www.gitorious.org/radicale>`_ to view and download
