Birthdays Calendar iCal Feed Strangeness in Kolab 3.4

[Ed Huott]

Hi,

The iCal feed for the built-in Birthdays calendar is behaving strangely 
for me. When I download the iCal file from the  URL obtained in 
Roundcube Calendar, it contains birthday events of all my contacts for 
the current month, but the event start (DTSTART) year is set to 2025 in 
virtually all cases*. This means that no events show up when I import 
this information into my (Thunderbird/Lightning) calendar! (* I have 
only found one case so far where the DTSTART year is 2014 and I can't 
explain why.)

Could this be an unreported bug? Is there some explanation for this 
behavior that I am missing? (I can assure you, there are no contacts in 
my Personal Contacts address book with birth dates in the future!)

Would it be possible to program this feed so that the event start date 
was the actual birth date of the person with an annual repetition set? 
It seems to me this might be a better approach, no?

I am a newbie to Kolab. I'm working on my first installation of the 
Kolab 3.4 community edition on a Debian 8 (jessie) system. So far, it's 
working pretty well apart from a few minor hiccups getting used to the 
way things work.

Any help or suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
