Akunambol 0.2

This is the first release of the 0.2 series, which will be the last one of the 0.x series. We’re in fact planning exciting new things for the 1.0, but we first wanted to release a version for everyone to use, so that it’s possible to sync all the most used PIM data (contacts, events, tasks).

This release should be quite stable, since all reported bugs have already been fixed, and it also introduces the much awaited support for multiple calendars or addressbooks, so you get to choose what you want to sync. Investigations on how to support syncing multiple calendars together are also being done.

From this moment onwards Akunambol will also have a new home, reachable at the address http://akunambol.ruphy.org. The repository still lives on gitorious for now, but will migrate to KDE’s git as soon as it is ready.

In addition to this, akunambol has also gained a new bugtracker. To report a bug or a wish you can now use KDE’s bugtracker (bugs.kde.org) and file a bug against akunambol.

We hope you have fun with Akunambol, and we wish you happy syncing! =)

Installing

In order to install Akunambol, you should first make sure to have installed all the dependencies required to build any KDE application. This includes (but is not limited to) kdelibs, kdepimlibs, oxygen-icons and akonadi, and in case your distro packages the headers separately, remember to install the development packages too.

To build libfunambol you should cd into build/autotools, and run the usual set of ./configure, make, make install. There is more documentation available in the libfunambol package itself.

Once libfunambol is installed, to compile akunambol you should proceed like any you would do with any normal KDE application. This means you should run cmake first, then make, and make install.

Have fun with Akunambol!
