Use icalproperty_get_icalproperty_name() +instead. + +icalcomponent_get_span() is deprecated in this release +because it does not handle recurring events. See +icalcomponent_foreach_recurrence() for an alternate +interface. + +The icalproperty_remove_parameter() call is deprecated +because it improperly deals with extended parameters. +See icalproperty_remove_parameter_by_kind() for a +compatible call. + +Code that deals with the TRANSPARENT property now +uses enumeration values to get/set values instead of +strings. + +The code for dealing with icalsets was overhauled. You +will want to use the common icalset_* routines +directly instead of calling into the icalfileset_* or +icaldirset_* routines. + +A number of routines now expect to be called with +const arguments. A number of routines now +return pointers to const data. + + +**** New Features **** + +Major cleanup of the time-handling routines. New API is +available that deals with timezones much more cleanly. + +The regression routines in src/test are much cleaner. +Test runs summarize which tests fail and do not +immediately abort() like the old set of tests. A +number of old, commented tests were resurrected. + +C++ Interface: New libraries libical_cxx.la and libicalss_cxx.la +are build when you configure with the --enable-cxx option. + +Java Interface: A JNI interface to libical is build when +you configure with the --enable-java option. + +Most of libical is now reentrant and thread safe. The Lex/Yacc +query parser is pre-built with flex 2.5.8 and bison 1.34. To +rebuild these files you will need to specify the --with-devel +option. The --enable-reentrant option also adds the -D_REENTRANT +flag for systems that require it. The build system attempts to +add the pthread libraries to support a thread safe memory allocator +and thread-safe error handling. + +A new storage mechanism for Berkeley DB 4.0 was contributed +by Critical Path. Specify the --with-bdb4 and --with-bdb4-dir +options to enable. + +Embedded code comments are slowly being migrated to be +doxygen compliant. See http://www.doxygen.org/ for +more on this wonderful tool. + +The code should now compile with non-gcc compilers. Certain +parts of the autogenerated code were causing problems. The +code base has also been ported to the windows Visual C +environment. + + +Version 0.23, 26 Mar 01 ( cvs tag libical-0-23 ) +------------------------------------------------ + +**** Incompatibilities with previous versions **** + +icalparameter_new_rsvp +icalparameter_get_rsvp +icalparameter_set_rsvp + + These routines now take and return ICAL_RSVP_TRUE and + ICAL_RSVP_FALSE instead of 0 and 1 + +icalenum_*_to_* + + These routines have been moved to icalproperty, icalparameter + or icalvalue + + + +Python interface: An alpha level python interface is available in +src/python. + +Perl interface: A pre-alpha level interface is available in +src/Net-ICal-Libical + +Code Autogeneration: Converted all of the important files in +design-data/ to .csv files and improved the code that is generated +from them. Now all of the enumerations for property, parameters and +values are generated from thes files, as are the string +representations for the enumerations. You can add a new property or +parameter to the system simply by adding a line to the appropriate +file in design-data/ + +Recurrences: Improved the recurrence code by fixing bugs in MONTHLY +recurrences and completely re-implementing expand_year_days() for +YEARLY recurrences. Hubert V's aided in testing. + +Build system: JP Rosevear made several improvements to the build +system. Now checking out the code from cvs should give to a complete +but minimal distribution, without any of the autognerated files. + +Interface changes: Nearly all of the icalenum routines for converting +between strings and enumerations have been moved out of icalenum into +icalproperty, icalparameter and icalvalue. This means that their names +have changed, although #defines have been added to icalenum.h to map +back to the old names. + +Added src/libical/icllangbind.c that has some functions to make it +easier to bind libical to other languages. + + +Version 0.22, 15 Jan 01 ( cvs tag libical-0-22) +---------------------------------------------- + +Many improvements to the time routines in icaltime.c. I think that +they actually make sense now. Note that there is an interface change +with icaltime_from_timet() -- I removed the is_utc parameter, since +all timet values are in UTC. Use icaltime_from_int() if you really +want the old interface + +Major improvements to icalfileset. icalfileset_select now works and so +does file locking. + +Minor revision to the documentation, but it does include a new section +on file storage ( icalfileset ) and time ( icaltime.c) + +Lots of bug fixes and small patches. + +I improved the regression test in src/test/regression.c. It now have +command line switches to select specific tests ( undocumentated, of +course ) and more of the tests include asserts, so you can just run it +without looking at the output. If the test runs without crashing, it +is mostly OK. + + + +Version 0.21, 20 Nov 00 ( cvs tag libical-0-21) +---------------------------------------------- + + * icalmessage.c Many routines to create new ical messages. + + * icalspanlist.c Code to generate a list of the busy time f the + VEVENTS in a set. Also includes routiens to generate free and busy + lists from the spanlist, and to find the next free time after a + given time. + + * icalvalue.c The STATUS property now has its own value type, + STATUS, which holds the enumeration icalproperty_status. + + * icalrestriction.c Added more restrictions. Now handles mutual + and exclusive consitions, and checks for the reight values in + STATUS properties + + * icaltypes.c Added routine to create durationtype from string: + icaldurationtype_from_string + + + * icalcomponet.c Add sever get/set convienience routines to access + and manipulate common component propoerties from the component + interface. This eliminates the need to create a lot of temporary + variables if you just want to change the start time of and event. + + + * icalcomponent.c Added new routines to icalcomponent: + _get_span -- returns the start and end times of the event in UTC + _get_first_real_component -- return ref to VTODO, VEVENT or VJOURNAL + + * icalspanlist.c Added new class, icalspanlist, that generates a + list of alternating busy and free times from an icalset. The class + includes routines to gnerate rfc2445 busy and free lists, and to + get the next avaliable busy or free time after a given time. + + +Version 0.20D 3 Nov 00 +----------------------- + +Many miscelaneous tweaks to the build system + +More work to icalclassify. + +Aded routines to icaltime.c to convert to and from specific timezones +in Olsen format ("America/Los_Angeles") + + +Version 0.20 7 Sept 00 (cvs tag libical-0-20 ) +---------------------------------------------- + +Addedd icalclassify() which looks at a message and determine how to +process it. + +Misc bug fixes and tweaks. + +Version 0.19 6 August 00 (cvs tag libical-0-19) +----------------------------------------------- + +Created a MIME parser in icalmime.c. This will take any complex MIME +encapsulated message and return an icalcomponent with the same +structure. Each MIME part is represented by a component of type +X-LIC-MIMEPART. + +Added MIME partsing to stow.c + +Added external iterators to icalcomponent. See test_iterators() in +test/regression.c + +Refactored icalcluster and icalstore into icalset, icalfileset and +icaldirset, which have a pseudo inheritance relationship between them. + +Fixed more memory leaks. + +Version 0.18a 10 June 00 ( cvs tag libical-0-18a ) +----------------------------------------------- + +Did the final tweaks to stow.c, a program to recieve and store iMIP +messages. + + +Version 0.18 10 June 00 ( cvs tag libical-0-18 ) +----------------------------------------------- + +Added libicalvcal, which includes the Versit code for parsing vCal +files and a routine (icalvcal_convert() ) that converts a vCal object +to an iCal object. The test program is src/test/testvcal. + +Added marginally functional recurrence code. The curent code does not +handle all of the examples in rfc2445 ( which are extracted in +test-data/recur.txt ) but it can do all of the obvious cases. See the +test program in src/test/recur.c for an example. In particular, the +code cannot handle the integer values in BYDAY, nor negative integers +in BYMONTH or BYMONTHDAY. It also cannot handle BYSETPOS. + +Moved some code to the examples directory and improved the comments. + +Did a little more work on the documentation in the doc directory. The +documentation is in LyX source, but there is a text version in +UsingLibical.txt + + +Version 0.17 15 May 00 (cvs tag libical-0-17 ) +--------------------------------------------- + +Fixed two bugs that added extraneous '/' to test values + +Fixed type in internal string for the COUNTER method + +Eliminated a memory leak in icalparser.c + + +Version 0.16a 29 April 00 +---------------------------------------------- + +Fixed bug in icalvalue_new_from_string that caused METHOD value to +choke on non standard input. + +Fixed a memory leak in icalparser_add_line -- failed to free 'line' + + +Version 0.16 5 April 00 ( cvs tag libical-0-16) +---------------------------------------------- + +Now using automake. + +Substantial changes to the parser. New interfaces let you parser +multiple components from a single stream by feading the parser object +one line at a time. + +Added a STRING value type. this type is like TEXT, but does not +backslash magic characters. It is used in PRODID and REQUEST-STATUS, +where the '/' and ';' are literal. + +Added several convience functions for REQUEST-STATUS to icalenums.c + +Addedd a routine to icalcomponent to convert X-LIC errors to +REQUEST-STATUS return values. + +Version 0.15a 5 Mar 00 (cvs tag libical-0-15a) +--------------------- + +Experimented with CVS + +Fixed icalvalue_set_text to convert escaped characters into the proper +values. + +Other minor code tweaks. + + +Version 0.15 7 Feb 00 +--------------------- + +Split the storage classess ( icalstore, icalcluster, icalcalendar ) +into a seperate library, libicalss + +Implemented restriction checking in file icalrestrictions.c. The +checking is not complete, but can handle the bulk of the restrictions +described in RFC 2446. + +Created a new value type, METHOD. Changed METHOD property to use the +new value. The METHOD value uses an enumeration. + + +Version 0.14b +------------- + +Implemented parsing of RECUR values, although it does not handle BYDAY +specs with numbers. + +Fixed error in icalparser_next_line that mangled lines longer than the +temp buffer (1024 chars.) The temp buffer is now 80 chars, and it can +handle (apparently) arbitrary length lines + +Fixed severe brokenness in a value, but I forgot which one. + +Cleaned cruft out of the distribution, so the tarfile is smaller. + + +Version 0.14a 14 Jan 00 +----------------------- + +Fixed bug in ROLE parameter -- missing '-' in the text of allowed values + +Fixed bug in X-parameters + +Version 0.14 11 Jan 00 +---------------------- + +Fixed wrong value type for TRIGGER property + +Added Calendar object. Calendar is an aggregate of two stores and two +clusters, and can store all of the inforamation associated with a +calendar. + +icalcomponent_add_property and icalcomponent_add_component will +complain if you try to add a component or property that is already +part of an other component. The *_free routines wil complain if you try +to free a linked component or property. + +More improvements to error handling. + +Parser is much more robust. + +Minor memory enhancements. + +Regression test runs without memory leaks. + +Version 0.13d 21Dec99 +--------------------- + +Seperated perl interface and library + +Added autoconf support + +Scripts that generate derived properties, values and parameters now +change source and header files inline. + +Changed icalstore to cluster all components with DTSTART in a month +into a single file. This should reduce number of file accesses by a +factor of 60. + +Ran code through Purify and fixed memory leaks. + + +Version 0.13 16Nov99 +--------------------- + +Yet more bug fixes! Yeah! + +Added better error handling. The Parser inserts X-LIC-*ERROR +properties to warn of parsing errors. + +The imip source/sink programs in /src/imip is demonstrably functional. + +Version 0.12b 17Oct99 +--------------------- + +More bug fixes, particularily in parse from string routines + +ICal::Store is mostly functional + +This is version is a checkpoint, not a release. + +Version 0.12a 10Oct99 +--------------------- + +Expanded perl interface: + Added 1/2 of Store module + Fixed bugs + Implemeted get_{first,next}_property + +Extended C interface + Made get_{first,next}_property work properly + Fixed bugs + + +This is version is a checkpoint, not a release. + +Version 0.12 27Aug99 +-------------------- + +Added a rudimentatry perl interface + +This is version is a checkpoint, not a release. + + +Version 0.11 11Aug99 +-------------------- + +Eliminated most use of flex/bison -- all parsing, except for the +values, is done in C. + +Cleaned up memory leaks. Purify claims that I got them all. + +Moved all derived component/prop/param/value code ( in .inc / .h +files) into main files ( icalcomponent.{c,h}, icalproperty.{c,h}, etc/ +) + +Implemented *_clone routines. + +Fixed a lot of bugs. + +Implemented more value types. Still unimplemeneted are BINARY and RECUR + +Included MacOS/Code Warior files from Graham Davison + + +Version 0.10 8Jul99 +------------------- + +Eliminated shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts in the parser. +This version is almost feature complete -- it has the basic structure +for all of the library's functionality, and it will only require +implementing procedure shells and fixing bugs. I think that all of the +hard work is done... + +Version 0.09a,b 3,7 Jul99 +------------------------- + +Various improvements to the parser, added some functionality. The parser code +is mostly complete, and should be fully functional, except for a horde of +bugs. Also added support for X-Properties. + +Version 0.09 25Jun99 +-------------------- + +Added a parser in files src/comp/icalitip.{y,l} The lexer is mostly +functional, but the parser is not. + + +Version 0.08 2Jun99 +-------------------- + +All files now have MPL licensing + +Implement enough of the code to perform some rudimentary testing + + +Version 0.07 14May99 +-------------------- + +Remove all interfaces that construct object from a string + +Moved most code back into comp directory + +Implemented C files for most headers -- usecases.c now links. + +Many improvements to generation scripts. + + + +Version 0.06 25Apr99 +-------------------- + +Expanded distribution to include: + Directory structure that can accomodate future expansion + Several levels of Makefiles + This CHANGES file + +Added headers for irip and parse modules + +Added several files with design information + +Added scripts that I had used to generate much of the ical header code. + +Split C headers from CC headers + +Added data for iTIP and iCAL component restrictions in restrictions.csv + +Version 0.05 11Apr99 +---------------------- + +Changes to ical headers + + Added derived Property classes. + + Improved the interface to the derived property and parameter classes + + Added derived component classes. + + Created usecases.c and ccusecases.cc to demonstrate use + + C++ interface compile + + +Version 0.04 5Apr99 +------------------- + +Version 0.02 30Mar99 +-------------------- |
