Kolab2 Clients out of beta, KDE Client release candidate 1 available

[Bernhard Reiter]

The KDE Kolab2 client has been published 
as "release candidate 1" tarball based on KDE 3.3.
A logical consequence of good experiences with this software 
during the last months. 
Get it from the download servers along with the release notes
(also attached for convenience)
The release comes so late, because: KDE packagers tend 
to build from stable CVS branches and often do not rely on tarballs anyway. 

On a related note: Toltec 2.0 release candidate 2 is also available.

Release notes for the Kolab KDE Client RC 1
===========================================
2005-05-03, Bernhard Herzog <bh at intevation.de>


Note: Many entries here contain references to entries in the kolab issue
tracker, https://intevation.de/roundup/kolab/.  You can easily look them
up by appending the reference to that URL, e.g. the URL for issue510 is
https://intevation.de/roundup/kolab/issue510 .  Some issues are specific
to the aegypten project (S/MIME for kmail) and can be looked up under
https://intevation.de/roundup/aegypten/


Upgrading from older (pre beta 1) kontact based clients
-------------------------------------------------------

If you have configured your kdepim installation with an older version of
the kolabwizard (or have done it manually) you may need to tweak the URL
Korganizer uses to fetch free/busy lists from the kolab2 server.  The
url for fetching free/busy lists should be

   https://kolabserver/freebusy/%25EMAIL%25.ifb
