cFos Outlook DAV v1.50 Release -- 09-Mar-2016
+ Wordaround for HTTP PUT for Twisted framework / Synology.
+ Very long filenames are now tried to be shortened or used with the \\?\
syntax.
- Extended the free trial to June 30th, 2016.

+ Automatic sync is now only done when the interval time is elapsed, not
on add, modify or delete.
x When sync was disabled, the dialog would default to a sync interval
of 5 minutes. Fixed.
- cFos Outlook DAV will now only touch the proxy info of a request if
a proxy is actually in use by the default system settings (IE settings).
cFos Outlook DAV v1.42 Release -- 18-Nov-2015
x When using copy/paste items could be accidentially deleted. Fixed.

cFos Outlook DAV v1.41 Release -- 30-Oct-2015
+ If a timezone definition is missing in the VCALENDAR entry, but a
timezone is specified with the DTSTART or DTEND fields. cFos Outlook DAV
now tries to convert this specification into a timezone name which is
recognized by Outlook. This should fix timezone problems with web
interfaces of owncloud and other services.

owncloud.

cFos Outlook DAV v1.40 Release -- 17-Aug-2015
x Fixed a crash, which occurred when an item was not on the server.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.39 Release -- 14-Aug-2015
+ Added experimental one way sync. If you prefix the CalDAV / CardDAV URL
with a < character, the server always has priority. This has the effect,
that items added changed locally are overwritten by the server. Also
newly added items are not uploaded to the server and locally deleted
items are restored on next sync by the item on the server.
x Fixed a bug where the ORGANIZER field could be set to an illegal value.
Thanks to Sven for providing a nice example.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.38 Beta -- 06-Aug-2015
+ Items from server are now retrieved with HTTP GET, instead of
HTTP REPORT. This should help addressbook sync with Synology.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.37 Release -- 20-Jul-2015
+ Due to problems with the ORGANIZER field in events, cFos Outlook DAV
now only inserts an ORGANIZER if used with fastmail.fm. If an
ORGANIZER field exists, it checks the email address in it and if it
is not a valid email address (e.g. a MS Exchange link), it will be
replaced by the email address you setup with your Outlook account.
+ Added a feature to dump certain items to the trace.txt file. If the
Subject field of the calendar event or task item is $$cfos_dump$$ or
the first name of the contact item is $$cfos_dump$$ then the item
will be dumped to the trace.txt file, so you can see the actual contents
synchronized with the server.
+ The "Sync Info" messagebox will now be closed automatically after
1 minute, if not closed manually.
- Event / Todo subject or contact name will now written to trace.txt in
case of a sync conflict.
x Fixed a bug with handling of * in URL. Thanks again to Luca Ferrario.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.36 Release -- 29-Jun-2015
+ cFos Outlook DAV uses your configured URL to try to detect the actual
location of the calendar / address book. By prefixing your URL with a *
you can suppress this behaviour. In this case cFos Outlook DAV then uses
this URL exactly as specified. This should help with DAViCal bindings
and in cases where you want to use a different calendar with gmx or
web.de. Example URL: *http://www.cfos.de/calendars/mycalendar2.
+ Config file for the folder is now only created if you click "save" in
the folder_setup dialog.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.35 Release -- 22-Jun-2015
x Fixed folder_setup dialog again.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.34 Release -- 19-Jun-2015
+ DAViCal bindings are now ignored when determining the calendar /
addressbook location. Thanks to Luca Ferrario.
x Fixed a bug where using the config dialog created a 0 byte
key file, resulting in "No Signature" error on next startup.
x Workaround for Radicale calendar server.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.33 Release -- 15-Jun-2015
x Fixed incorrect COMPLETED value to task items. Thanks to
C. Kaulich!
cFos Outlook DAV v1.32 Release -- 21-May-2015
+ Added support for gmx / web.de CardDav server.
+ Workaround for broken Synology Location header.
x Fixed a problem with copy/paste operations.
- Tested with SareNet CalDAV/CardDAV server.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.31 Release -- 06-May-2015
x Fixed a bug where the ORGANIZER field was incorrectly inserted. Thanks to
Crusoe86.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.30 Release -- 30-April-2015
+ ORGANIZER field is now checked for a valid email address.
+ METHOD field is now deleted before upload to the server.
+ Improved handling of redirected URLs. The location of the
calender home set / address book home set is now also adjusted to
the redirected URLs.
+ cFos Outlook DAV now tries to GET calendar / addressbook
entries, if REPORT fails with errors >= 500.
+ Added support for gmx/web.de calendar servers.
- cFos Outlook DAV now tries to get the actual calendar home set /
address book home set URL before the first request to the server.
x Fixed handling of URLs with escaped characters.
+ Avoiding a bug in Microsoft's VSTO installer that prevented
Outlook DAV from installing successfully and instead showed an
error message like "Could not load file or assembly [...]
VSTOInstaller.exe.Config line 10)"
cFos Outlook DAV v1.26 Release -- 27-Nov-2014
x Fixed a bug where items could to sync'ed to the wrong folder, if
folder names were identical.
- Checked if cFos Outlook DAV could work with folders which are associated
with an MS Exchange account.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.25 Release -- 26-Nov-2014
x Fixed a bug which caused problems with contact synchronisation with
especially google.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.24 Release -- 10-Nov-2014
+ cFos Outlook DAV now searches the complete folder tree to find
folders configured for synchronisation.
x cFos Outlook DAV can now handle folders with duplicate folder names.
x Fixed a crash when an item from the server could not be downloaded.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.20 Release -- 26-Sep-2014
+ Added a MessageBox if importing items from server takes longer.
+ Timezone start/end dates of 1601 are now set to 1970 so certain
calender servers understand them.
+ Outlook line continuation problems are now corrected for addresses which
contain line breaks.
+ You can now set the folder to manual sync only. Then only pressing the
sync button will sync this folder. If you disable sync for a folder
even the sync button will not trigger a sync for this folder.
+ cFos Outlook Dav now supports the default folders for contacts,
appointments and tasks.
+ Missing ORGANIZER items are now inserted for fastmail.fm.
x Fixed a bug where old items would be downloaded from the server
although they were already in the local Outlook folder.
- Calendar URLs are now trimmed to prevent strange errors.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.15 Release -- 06-May-2014
+ Extended the free trial period until June 1, 2015.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.14 Pre-Release -- 08-Apr-2014
x Improved sync when the calendar server does not support ctag. Thanks to
Alexander Becker.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.13 Pre-Release -- 27-Mar-2014
+ Added an option in the setup to ignore certificate errors. Allthough
this is actually not recommended, it allows the use of cFos Outlook DAV
with self-signed certificates.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.12 Pre-Release -- 13-Mar-2014
- The iCalender METHOD field is now removed when importing items, because
it seems Outlook only supports METHOD:PUBLISH and throws exceptions on
unknown METHODs.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.11 Pre-Release -- 19-Feb-2014
- Extended the free trial time. This version can be used until
June 1, 2014.
+ When the sync operation requires deletion of events, tasks or
contacts, these items will be backed up in current users
cFos Outlook DAV folder in subfolder "backup". They will be finally
deleted from this folder when older than 6 months.
x Fixed a bug, where tmp files would not be deleted. Thanks to
Lukas Jenny for the report.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.10 Pre-Release -- 22-Nov-2013
+ The free test period is extended until February 28th, 2014.
+ Reworked Sync. Fixed several bugs. Worked around several
bugs in google / owncloud servers.
+ cFos Outlook DAV now displays a message box if the HTTP request failed
due to SSL/certificate problems or username/password problems.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.09 Pre-Release -- 18-Oct-2013
+ Improved handling of items whose URL is changed by the server.
+ Items which don't have an Etag value are not deleted anymore.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.08 Pre-Release -- 16-Sept-2013
x Fixed a bug which caused problems when importing events/tasks with
recurrence rules. Thanks to G. Jaenschke for the sample.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.07 Pre-Release
x Fixed a bug where the installation directory was not read correctly
from the registry under 64-bit Outlook.
x Fixed a bug where the wrong content-type was used with contacts. This
caused some CardDAV servers to reject updates.
x Fixed a bug where HTTP If-Match/If-None-Match headers were not used
correctly.
x In case of conflicts, the local version will be deleted and a dialog for
the server version is opened, so you can check and update the item.
While the dialog is open, no sync actions are taken for this item.
This should also solve the problem of endless opening of new dialogs and
duplication of items.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.06 Pre-Release -- 02-Sept-2013
* Added support for contacts. You can now synchronize Outlook contact
folders with cFos Outlook DAV. Behaviour and setup are like appointment
folders.
+ Outlook tasks are now flags as "all day long" so they look nicer in
google calendar view.
+ folder_setup.hta now accepts the folder name as parameter, so it is
automatically selected when invoked from the folder context menu.
+ cFos Outlook DAV can not automatically find the calender-home-set and/or
the addressbook-home-set. You can now specify the base URL for your
CalDAV/CardDAV server, if it supports auto-detection. For cFos Personal
Net you can simply specify the root URL, e.g. http://mydomain.com or
http://localhost.
Note: Due to problems with other CalDAV/CardDAV servers, this feature is
now restricted to google CalDAV/CardDAV servers.
+ cFos Outlook DAV now displays a message box if it can't import an
Outlook item.
- trace.txt, trace_old.txt and the folder setup dialog are now in the users
appdata directory.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.04 Pre-Release -- 31-July-2013
* Added support for tasks. You can configure and synchronise an Outlook
task folder in the same way as a calendar folder. This should work with
normal CalDAV servers. You can store task items in the same CalDAV
server location as event. But unfortunately this does not work with
google calendar, because the google task format is unsuitable for Outlook
tasks. For google, cFos Outlook DAV converts the tasks into events. This
is the closest representation google calendar has for Outlook tasks. So
users of google calendar must create another calendar on google
which is used only for tasks. Then configure the task folder with this
new google (task) calendar URL.
Note: For tasks exceptions from recurring events are not supported.
x Fixed a bug where recurrent events were not handled correctly. Thanks
to Maximilian Winkler for the help.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.02 Pre-Release -- 22-July-2013
+ You can now use arbitrary folder names for CalDAV sync. cFos Outlook
DAV now adds a context menu entry for all calendar folders. It let's
you start the folder setup dialog. In the dialog you can now also
turn off CalDAV sync.
+ Added Sync button in Calendar Menu. This allows you to sync all CalDAV
folders immediately. It also restarts periodic folder sync, if you
re-enabled it in the meantime.
+ Workaround for google calendar. Items should no longer be duplicated
on change.
x Fixed a bug which caused uninstall to fail in many cases.
x Fixed a bug where recurrent appointsments would not imported.
- Changed synchronisation. Server operation is now done in a background
thread, to avoid lengthy UI pauses.
x Fixed various multi-threading bugs.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.00 Pre-Release -- 18-Jun-2013
x Synchronisation is now done by a seperate worker thread. This should
solve many problems where adds or local changes were not properly updated
on the server.
+ If the calendar server reports several VEVENTs for a single calendar entry,
e.g. because of recurrence rules, only the first VEVENT is imported.
+ Settings are now read before each sync. This should eliminate restarting
Outlook after folder settings are changed.
cFos Outlook DAV v1.00 Pre-Release
- Initial release.
This release runs until 31.12.2013.
