Info about the changes in new versions of KO/Pi
and KDE-Pim/Pi

********** VERSION 1.9.4 ************

This is the version 1.9.4 of KDE-Pim/Pi for the Zaurus.

WARNING:
PLEASE BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA!
We have changed a lot and maybe there are some unknown problems.

SYNC HANDLING HAS CHANGED!
Such that, if you sync now with an already synded device, you will duplicated entries after the first sync.
(This change was introduced to make it possible to sync with mobile phones, which will be available later (maybe in 4 weeks).

You need the kmicrokdelibs_1.9.4_arm.ipk as a base for the other programs.
If you get the error: "Install only possible in main memory", just try it again to install it on SD card. That worked for me. And it was reported that rebooting Qtopia did help in this case as well. 

As programs are available:
KO/Pi (korganizer ipk) - a calendar program.
KA/Pi (kaddressbook ipk ) - an addressbook
OM/Pi (kopiemail ipk ) an email program with pop/smtp and IMAP support.

An alarm notification program ( korganizer-alarm ipk ) for KO/Pi that notifies you about alarms, even if the Zaurus is in suspend mode.
(If you do not see an icon in the taskbar after installing korganizer-alarm, please restart Qtopia)

All the applications are installed in a "Pim" TAB.
If this TAB is new on your system, you can get an icon in this TAB by installing pim_TAB_icon_1.9.4_arm.ipk

All the application are integrated.
Such that you can choose in KO/Pi the attendees of a  meeting from the addresses in KA/Pi. When you click in KA/Pi on the email address, OM/Pi is started to write the mail.

HINT:
If you install KPhone/Pi 0.9.7, it will be called, if you click in KA/Pi on a phone number.

What's new?

SYNC HANDLING HAS CHANGED!
Such that, if you sync now with an already synded device, you will duplicated entries after the first sync.
(This change was introduced to make it possible to sync with mobile phones, which will be available later (maybe in 4 weeks).

New in OM/Pi:
When copying(i.e. downloading mails) , you can specify, that only mails of a given size should be downloaded. Added mail copy possibility for selected mails.

New in KO/Pi:
French is now available for KO/Pi.
Choose menu:Actions - Configure:TAB locale
Syncing has changed.
Phone sync available soon.
Not much changes, I cannot remember them ...

New in KA/Pi:
Beaming possible.
Sharp DTM readonly access possible( create a new DTM resource );
Better searching possible.
Search is performed only after pressing the return key.
Use wildcard * to specify parts of a name.

Better name/email selection dialog (called from KO/Pi or OM/Pi). In this dialog, now searching is possible. Like in KA/Pi, use return key and wildcard * .

A big improvement is the new management of the contact access.
In version 1.9.3, every application was using their own addressbook access data.
That means, the addressbook was loaded up to three times in the memory, when accessed by  KA/Pi, KO/Pi and OM/Pi.
That was wasting of memory, if you had several hundreds of contacts.

Now only KA/Pi accesses the addressbook.
If KO/Pi or OM/Pi want to get some name/email data, they request KA/Pi to open the  name/email selection dialog and send it back to them.
If you click on an attendee in a meeting, its contact data is displayed in KA/Pi directly.
That means, if KO/Pi or OM/Pi want to access contact data, KA/Pi is started first.

New in the KO/Pi alarm applet:
Configure your own timer popup menu!
(Text and minutes for timer countdown)
Just edit the file
(yourhomedir)/.kopialarmtimerrc
and start/stop a timer to get a new menu with the data of this file.

********** VERSION 1.9.3 ************
1)
Now KO/Pi on Windows imports directly the calendar data of
an installed Outlook. Should work with OL version >= 2000.
 
********** VERSION 1.9.2 ************
1)
KDE-Pim/Pi has got a new member:
KmicroMail (KM/Pi) is a mail program, 
which can handle IMAP and POP mail access.
It is based on Opie-Mail v3.
All dependencies to the Opie libraries ar removed, 
such that no additional Opie lib is needed.
It is already integrated in KO/Pi and KA/Pi.
It it now available for the Zaurus,probably it 
will be available for other platforms later.
Hint:
Create your own contact (name + email)
in KA/Pi, select this contact and choose menu:
Settings - Set Who Am I.
Now the settings of this contact are used as 
the sender data in KM/Pi.
2)
KDE-Pim/Pi is split up in five different
packages now precompiled for Sharp Zaurus:
--kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk
The libs are needed for any 
of the following programs:
--kaddressbook_1.9.2_arm.ipk
--kmicromail_1.9.2_arm.ipk
--korganizer_1.9.2_arm.ipk
Independ from that, there is the alarm applet
available for KO/Pi, which also offers
quick access for a new mail or
showing the addressbook.:
--korganizer-alarm_1.9.2_arm.ipk
Independend means, that the alarm applet
does not need any of the libs or programs above to run.
But it would be quite useless without these programs.
NOTE:
If you get a
"This application depends on other programs"
during installation of 
--kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk
you probably do not have to care about that.
kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2 will come with some
resource plugins, which needs additional libraries.
(E.g. libopie1, if you want to use the 
opie resource connector in KA/Pi).
If you do not have this libraries installed,
you simply cannot use the resource.
To make it clear:
If the libraries are missing, the applications
using kmicrokdelibs will start, 
because the resources are plugins.
3)
KO/Pi and friends are now installable on SD-Card!
It is recommended to install all libs and apps
on the SD card or all in the internal storage.
There may be problems, if this is mixed.
4)
Fixed two bugs in the alarm notification on Windows.
5)
Great improvement!
KO/Pi uses now the latest version of libical.
Libical is the library which actually reads 
the calendar files and extract the data from it.
With the old version, there were problems
(crashes or program hangs) when licical did read
files, which were not stored from KO/Pi.
I do not know, if the new libical works perfect,
but actually it works much better than
the old version.
There are no problems with compatibility with 
old calendar files of KO/Pi, of course!
6)
New in KA/Pi:
Opie addressbook resource connector available!
You will need libopie1 and the opie addressbook,
of course.
With the Opie addressbook resource connector,
you can access the Opie addressbook readonly in KA/Pi.
If you want to edit or import the data into KA/Pi,
do this:
a) Create an Opie resource.
   (Menu: Settings-Configure Resources).
After configuration and restarting KA/Pi you should see
the Opie contacts in KA/Pi.
b) Select some or all Opie contacts.
(NOTE: +++++
To know exactly, what contacts are Opie contacts, 
do this: Choose menu: 
View-Modify View - TAB Fields.
Select in the above list "Resource" and click
down arrow to add it to the "Selected fields".
Click OK.
Now you have a new column "Resource" in your list,
where you can see, what an Opie resource is.
++++ NOTE end.)
Ok, we do have now some Opie contacts seleted.
(Use SHIFT or CTRL key in order to multiple select).
c) Choose menu: Edit-Copy.
d) Choose menu: Edit-Paste.
e) Select the resource, you want to add the contacts to.
Congrats! Now you have read/write access to the copied 
opie contacts as "real" KA/Pi contacts.


********** VERSION 1.9.1 ************
1)
       +++ IMPORTANT 1 +++

The storing place of the default calendar 
file has changed!
The default calendar file was
Applications/korganizer/mycalendar.ics 
on Zaurus and 
(yourHomeDir)/korganizer/mycalendar.ics 
on Windows/Linux desktop. Now it is
(yourHomeDir)/kdepim/korganizer/mycalendar.ics
on Zaurus, Windows and Linux.
To load the old file, choose menu
File-Load calendar backup.
(It should be loaded automatically
at startup with a warning message displayed).
The place of the configuration file has changed too.
If you want to use your old KO/Pi config,
copy it to 
(yourHomeDir)/kdepim/config/korganizerrc
Please read VERSION 1.9.0 - topic 3) as well!

       +++ IMPORTANT 2 +++

Because of the new paths, you will need
a new version of the KO/Pi alarm applet
for Zaurus.
Use version >= 1.9.1

2)
Now the QWhat'sThis Icon works for items
in the month view as well.
(See VERSION 1.7.8 Topic 1) ).
3)
You can import birtsdays/anniversaries
from KA/Pi into KO/Pi.
Choose menu File-Import birthdays.
If you import twice, already imported items
will not be imported again, if they 
have not been changed in KO/Pi.
4)
When syncing with sharp DTM, now a progress 
is shown, when the data is written back.
If there is much data in KO/Pi and no data
in DTM, that can take a long time.
(But only for the first time ).
5)
In the search dialog, you can search 
now for the name/email of an attendee
of an event/todo.
To get more space for displaying
search results, the buttons
for "search" and "close" on the 
bottom are removed in the PDA version. 
You have to click OK in the top right
corner to do a search.
6)
Now it is possible to disable the displaying
of todo items in the Allday part of the Agenda.
Choose Menu Action-Configure,
TAB Todo View, checkbox
"Allday Agenda view shows todos"
7)
If FastLoad is enabled, now the settings and the 
calendar data are saved, when KO/Pi is closed.
(If no Fastload is enabled, KO/Pi saves
the data as well, of course)
8)
The Agenda View has a minimize-splitter now,
such that the height of the allday part can be
changed quickly.

********** VERSION 1.9.0 ************
1)
KO/Pi is now merged with the new microKDE from KA/Pi.
KO/Pi accesses now KA/Pi as the addressbook.
The other ddressbook-plugins are not working any longer.
(It is planned, that later KA/Pi itself uses these plugins)
New versions of KO/Pi are only available
together with KA/Pi as the KDE-Pim/Pi package. 
2)
If you click on an attendee of a meeting in the
event viewer, a detailed summary of the 
attendee is shown.
3)
The place of the configuration file has changed.
If you want to use your old KO/Pi config, copy
Applications/korganizer/config_korganizerrc
to
Applications/korganizer/config/korganizerrc

********** VERSION 1.7.8 ************
1)
Now the QWhat'sThis ist working.
Enable the QWhat'sThis icon in the toolbar.
(You have to restart to reload the changed toolbar config).
Now click on the QWhat'sThis Icon 
in the top right corner of KO/Pi.
Then click on an item in the Agenda View:
You will get a detailed display of the items content.
2)
Some other very minor changes.
But I have forgotten the details ...
For that reason I start this log here:
To document my changes, when I am doing it.

********** VERSION 1.7.7 ************
Stable Version of KO/Pi
