Greetings everyone,

Here is a snapshot of the current Funambol 7.1 development tree with the usual stuff from me added in. Please try it out and give some feedback.

http://latest.bionicmessage.net/funambol-7.1.0-SNAPSHOT.tar.bz2 (with JRE 1.6.0 for Linux/x86)

http://latest.bionicmessage.net/funambol-7.10-SNAPSHOT-bm-nojre.tar.bz2 (bring your own JRE 1.6)

http://latest.bionicmessage.net/funambol-7.1.0-bm-src.7z (Entire source tree with Funambol 7.1 and additional connectors) 

Here is the README:

----

bionicmessage groupware sync server

incorporating Funambol 7.1.0-SNAPSHOT



New features:

- WebConfig setup and management interface

* Includes 'Groupware Wizard' for configuring GroupDAV connector etc 

    with Citadel, eGroupware, OpenGroupware

* User detail (name, password) editing tool

* Device detail (description, Push IP address/mobile phone number)

    editing tool

* Principal details tool (see syncs that have taken place, force SLOW

    on next sync, test Funambol push notification)

* SMS-driven notification configuration tool



- Funambol GroupDAV Connector

* Bulk/CalDAV fetch mode supported. Works on any server reporting

    'calendar-access' or addressbook-access (CalDAV/CardDAV) in

    Options: header. Has been tested with eGroupware.

    (Bulk fetch is disabled if you run OpenGroupware)

* Multi-threaded fetchH^H^H^H^H hack to speed up downloading 

    on servers that don't do CalDAV REPORT's yet. Disabled by default

* Attendees now converted

* Major speed and memory footprint improvements in underlying JGroupDAV:

    * H2 database now used instead of SmallSQL, massive speed boost

    * Memory footprint decreased with rewrite of DAV XML handlers,

     now operate on the server stream directly instead of getting+parsing

* SSL connections to GroupDAV server without adding SSL certificate to

    Java keystore now supported



No functionality changes have been made to the Funambol Citadel 

Connector and HTTP Authentication officer



This bundle is based on Funambol 7.1 snapshots , and as far as I'm 

concerned is fairly stable. When Funambol 7.1 hits general release this 

bundle will too.



Known issues:

- WebConfig

    * Please use a Gecko (Firefox), WebKit (Safari) or Presto 

    (Opera) based browser. WebConfig is AJAX and DOM heavy. IE has 

    some issues..

- Funambol GroupDAV Connector

    * Changes to the behavior of the Funambol vCard code seem to

    render it inoperable with OpenGroupware, #1 issue to be tackled

    when I come back to this in 2009.

    * Using CalDAV fetch mode will cause sudden death if XML

    parser encounters errors.

    * New DAV parsing code can't log what it receives, please

    run tcpdump/Wireshark in the background so I have data to work 

    with

    * Task status broken with Outlook. This will be fixed

    by a future Outlook client update (hope to have one soon)



- Bundle

    * Not functional with JRE 1.5.x. This is my fault, will fix 

    later

    * PIM listener has been removed, no setup with the GroupDAV 

    connector can use it

Installation:

    * IF YOU HAVE ANY SERVICES RUNNING ON PORT 8080, OR 

    ANOTHER TOMCAT INSTALLATION, PLEASE EDIT 

    tools/tomcat/conf/server.xml before starting ! 



Installation and configuration is easy:

1. Run "bin/funambol start" to start everything

2. Point browser to http://<server>:8080/WebConfig/

3. Login as 'administrator' with details admin / sa

4. Go to 'Groupware Wizard'. Do as it says

5. Sync details are contained within the 'Sync Info' page of WebConfig

6. Configure devices 

7. Sync

8. ???

9. Profit!

Enjoy the holiday season. I'll be taking a break from Funambol hacking over Christmas-New Year so I'll address any problems next year unless something is horribly broken.

In other news, I'll be doing a presentation about Funambol during the Mobile Open Source miniconf at linux.conf.au 2009 (in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia) on Monday the 19th of January. This will be mainly about the Funambol open source project and the features it provides.
