16 software is currently through the mailing lists available at
17 http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?MailingLists. We are happy to address any
18 questions or concerns you may have about the plugin or ExchangeIt on
19 the evo-exchangeit-dev list, but please do not contact Net Integration

22 2. New in Evolution ExchangeIt 0.9.5.1
24 The following changes have been made since ExchangeItEvolution 0.9.5:
26 - The build and install should now work on Gentoo.
28 The following changes have been made since ExchangeItEvolution 0.9.4:
30 - Message notifications are displayed when something unexpected happens
31 (e.g.: the client cannot connect to the server)
32 - You can now disable the plugin from the configuration page (instead of
33 having to uninstall the plugin).
34 - Numerous robustness fixes in the network layer.
35 - Numerous robustness fixes in the TNEF conversion library (WvMapi).
37 3. Installation instructions
39 You already have the tarball unpacked, since you're reading this file.
41 Here's what you need to do now:
46 If any of those steps fail, likely problems are:
47 - You don't have proper Evolution development libraries. You need your
48 distribution's evolution and evolution-dev (or evolution-devel)
49 pacakges. Only 1.4.x versions of Evolution will work.
50 - You don't have proper WvStreams development libraries. Visit
51 http://open.nit.ca and download a recent (4.0) snapshot of WvStreams,
52 and compile and install it.
54 If these steps succeed, but when you start Evolution after installing
55 you get an error message, you probably need to ensure that the path
56 containing libwvstreams.so.4.0 is in /etc/ld.so.conf, and then run
61 The Evolution ExchangeIt connector only works with Nitix version 3.76 or
64 Evolution does not have a feature equivalent to "Notes" in Outlook. Thus
65 any "Notes" folders you have in Outlook will show up as empy mailboxes
66 in Evolution. The data stored in them will still remain intact on the
69 Outlook only supports one alarm (or "reminder") per calendar item.
70 Evolution supports many, however. The ExchangeIt connecter only syncs
71 one alarm to the server.
73 Outlook supports recurrences on "Tasks" items, but Evolution does not.
74 Any tasks you have in Outlook that have recurrences will only show up on
75 the first occurrence in Evolution. The recurrence information will still
76 remain intact on the server, however.
78 Evolution 1.4.6 has a bug that prevents free/busy support from working
79 properly with the Nitix server. If you try to add a contact to a meeting, and
80 that contact has an internet free/busy calendar URI, Evolution will crash. We
81 plan to address this issue in an upcoming version of Nitix.
85 We are very interested in feedback from the community regarding this
86 product. If you have suggestions, comments or concerns regarding
