to the help of the several users who tested the first Release
Candidate and reported bugs about it, this release fixes all the major
known problems and is really close to being “the” 1.0 release.”
Despite the impending 1.0 release, you shouldn't stop looking for bugs. If you find a problem, we still want to know about it! You can submit a bug report at http://bugzilla.ximian.com or with the GNOME Bug Report tool (Programs->Utilities ->Bug Buddy). Prizes will be awarded to those reporting the nastiest and strangest bugs, and of course for the greatest number of reports. Every Thursday, developers and users of Evolution gather to find, isolate, and destroy bugs. To participate, open your IRC client and visit the #evobugs channel, located on the irc.gnome.org server. Ximian QA master Luis Villa will be in attendance between 9 AM and 9 PM Eastern Standard Time. AVAILABILITY If you use Ximian GNOME, you can install this version by subscribing to the Ximian GNOME channel in Red Carpet (System -> Get Software). If you do not have Ximian GNOME installed, you can download Evolution binaries from our FTP server at: ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/ximian-gnome/ or visit our Source Code page at: http://www.ximian.com/devzone/source.html to get the latest source tarballs. KNOWN ISSUES (Numbers refer to bug listings in the Ximian Bugzilla, bugzilla.ximian.com.) * #14611: Syncing with nationalized Czech Palm-OS handhelds doesn't work because of problems with the character set conversions. * #1183: Alarms that you create on a Palm-OS device are not moved to Evolution during synchronization. * #14715: Outlook Express fails to recognize Evolution's iTIP attachments although they work fine with Outlook 2000 and Outlook XP. * In some cases, the tail optimization feature of the Reiserfs file system can negatively affect the performance of the mail component.
