evolution 2.28.0 released!!

[Chenthill-2]

Hi all,
       Evolution team is happy and proud to announce the evolution
2.28.0 release. To give an overview of what the release provides,

• Google calendar will be available through Caldav interface by default

• Support for unmatched vfolder and creating vfolder using vfolders is
added back.

• Configurable date formats

• Selecting local ICal files as calendar sources

• Better Calendar cache

• Attachment bar rewrite

• GroupWise conversation threading

• GroupWise meeting retract/resend

• Tons of bug fixes

As many would know already, we branched evolution early in order to get
rid of bonobo. Am happy to see this from mbarnes!

We have already started working on the tasks identified for the 2.30.
Here is the summary of those tasks,

• Bonobo less Evolution

• EDS DBus port

• Exchange MAPI Improvements

• Mailer async operations (with IMAPX)

• GNOME 3.0 Cleanup

• Migrate go-evolution wiki contents to lgo and
gnome.org/projects/evolution

• Quick steps for writing evolution plugins

• Disk summary regressions on vfolder

If you would like to get involved in any of the above mentioned work or
have some new ideas, we would be happy to guide. We need more people
getting involved in Evolution development!

This is a special release for myself and mbarnes as we have taken the
responsibility of maintainer-ship from this release.

Thanks to all the users, testers, developers, translators, bug masters,
distributors and everyone involved in the project.

Thanks, Chenthill.

Hi;

I have several tweaks to Evo I would like to make, that probably reflect
personal preferences rather than something useful to others.  I am
hoping the "Quick steps for writing evolution plugins" will be something
I can use that is equivalent to macros, scripting and/or key binding.

I submitted a request for improvement regarding printed forms some time
ago, maybe now is a chance to follow up on it.

I would like to help.  I volunteered in the exchange re: bug # 470934
but never heard back.

To write a plugin (or other solution) for my request # 470934 one major
change (I would think) needs to be made to the appointment dialogue so I
mention it with your announcement of 'to do' tasks.  

Would it be possible to add a 'Contacts:' field or fields to the
appointment gui dialogue from which the print form could grab names and
phone numbers?
