After years of suffering and painful testing Brutus Server has finally proven itself worthy of the 1.0 designation.

This leads to a new responsibility for Brutus Server - The API will remain unchanged for all Brutus Server release with the designation "1.0.x". "x" may change to signify a bug fix, a documentation improvement or some other backwards compatible change. Updated evolution-brutus binaries will follow over the course of the next few days.

What is brutus-keyring?

b-k is a very small and simple keyring daemon with a CORBA API. It is build upon libgcrypt to ensure a well maintained and stable encryption backend.

evolution-brutus 1.1.29.23 is an incremental release on the way to full GAL and PAB support. It is much better than previous releases, particularly in terms of stability.

The most end-user visible change is that it is now possible to disable public folder support if you have no need for them or if they are simply too big for you to waste your precious bandwidth on.

The focus for this release has been to implement a recurrence API on the IMesage interface.Recurrent events and tasks, with or without exceptions to individual occurrences, are a royal mess in native MAPI.

• SPropProblem related bugs in servant methods has been fixed.

Small improvements in the way login failures are reported has been implemented in Brutus Server. The developer documentation has been updated to current times as well. evolution-brutus has seen some rather pervasive changes in order of improving the folder summary update performance. The bigger the folder the bigger the performance gain. Very big folders will be summarized hundres of times faster with these changes in place. Enjoy, jules
