thanks, 3.1.11 seems to be working a bit better [and thanks very much 
for this contribution - it's a bit of a cornerstone to the possibility 
of implementing kolab for us].  one brief note - from calendar.php, 
$driver = $this->get_drivers()[0]; seems to not work prior to php 5.4. 
i changed it to $driver = array_shift($this->get_drivers()); which seems 
to work ok, but i'm quite ignorant of any considerations for style or 
other implications.

a couple of elements that seem to not be working quite right so far:

upon adding a new caldav calendar, the interface says "successfully 
saved", but it doesn't appear to ever contact the caldav server.  no 
events appear, and i don't see any activity in the caldav server logs.

if i try to add an event, it says "failed to save changes".  i don't see 
any messages in either the roundcube logs or the httpd logs, and i don't 
see any activity in the logs on the caldav server.

if i do $rcmail_config['calendar_driver'] = array('caldav', 'ical', 
'database', 'kolab');, php complains "Call to undefined method 
kolab_storage::folder_hierarchy() in 
/usr/share/roundcubemail/plugins/calendar-awesome-it.de/drivers/kolab/kolab_driver.php 
on line 113"

if i do $rcmail_config['calendar_driver'] = array('caldav', 'ical', 
'database');, then add a new caldav calendar, the interface says 
"successfully saved", but if i then edit the calendar, it appears to be 
a non caldav calendar - only name, color, show alarms items appear in 
properties.  no url, credentials, etc.  if i then remove database from 
the array and reload the page, the caldav settings return to the 
properties window.

i'm sorry i'm offering only lists of problems and no contributions of 
solutions - i'm still quite early on in the learning curve, both with 
kolab as well as with php.  :)
