Release of BirdieSync 1.4.0.3

Post by Birdy »

Version 1.4.0.3

Bug corrections:

- On Windows Mobile 5.0, mail synchronization could lead to a "synchronization error" stopping the synchronization at the beginning
- On some devices, synchronization could lead to an "attention required" with an alert window mentioning that options were modified and that it was necessary to reconnect the mobile
- At first installation of Birdiesync, maximum mail body size and synchronization period were not properly set.

Version 1.4.0.2

The first time you synchronize with this new version, it is possible that some items will be detected as changed on the desktop and will be synchronized on the mobile.

Changes:

- When "Combine" option is chosen when creating a new partnership with the mobile, duplicated contacts, events and tasks are automatically removed (only absolutely identical items). Mails are not concerned.
- It is now possible to set a maximum size of the mail body to be synchronized
- You can set a period in the past (2 weeks for instance) to select the mails you want to synchronize

Bug corrections:

- On Windows Mobile 2003, mail synchronization could lead to a "synchronization error" stopping the synchronization at the beginning
- If a mail was too big (body or attachments), synchronization could be suspended or lead to unresolved items
- A mail folder that was selected to be synchronized could disappear from mail folder list in option window

Version 1.4.0.1

Bug corrections:

- BirdieTransfer.exe could not be launched properly leading to an "attention required"

Version 1.4.0.0

You must uninstall the previous version of BirdieSync before installing this new one.

Changes:

- Mail synchronization. Please refer carefully to the documentation to know more about it
Although BirdieSync was heavily tested, please, do backups of your Thunderbird or Sunbird profile !
- Possibility to install BirdieSync as an administrator and run it under a restricted user account. If several users share the same computer, they will have their own BirdieSync options.
- A new evaluation period of 21 days is available to test this new version of BirdieSync

Bug corrections:

- Connecting the device and launching the synchronization could lead to an "attention required" message.
- On some systems, when Thunderbird or Sunbird were already running before the synchronization, a popup window with "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding" could be displayed and the synchronization could end with an "attention required"
- On some windows Mobile 5.0 devices, updates of objects were not taken into account
- The first time a category of items was selected in ActiveSync option window, synchronization could take an abnormal amount of time
- Sometimes, pressing the "Sync" button in ActiveSync button could not launch the synchronization
- Floating events and tasks (not attached to a particular time zone) were not properly synchronized. There were differences of time between the desktop and the device.
- If an all day event was spanning on several days, it was not properly synchronized
- An unresolved item could occur if in a series, an occurence was modified from all day event to an events with start and end times or the contrary
- In a recurring series, if an alarm was set on an occurence that could occur before the beginning of the previous occurence, an unresolved item error happened.
- In some cases, setting alarms in tasks could lead to unresolved items.
- If two instances of the main window of Thunderbird or Sunbird were launched, communication errors could happen.
- An unexpected behavior of the device synchronization part could happen
- If an error was returned during the update of an object on the desktop, it was not properly handled and could lead to further problems in synchronization
- The button "Choose Sunbird application path" was not working properly
