Hello, the benefits of the release are: - the linked bug, which it fixes, was (is) cause of data corruption! - other refinements and bugfixes have been made by the developers
the risk of regressions is quite limited, because: - syncevolution and the relative libraries are tipically high quality and tested code, as can be deduced for instance from the very low number of bugs present in Debian and Ubuntu (compared with the increasing popcon) - the debian package is out since one month and a half and in unstable since two weeks - in other words, it was presumably tested much more than some packages that enter Ubuntu automatically - the debian maintainer and the upstream developers are very responsive, and I'm in contact with both - in any case, the most important feature added - namely, the ability for syncevolution to act as a syncml server - was only made available in 1.0, which will certainly not enter Lucid. So the current syncevolution configuration is anyway quite "conservative". - by the way, syncevolution (with sync-ui) is the only rdepend of libsynthesis That said, it must be noticed that the package _is having_ some problems in lucid, but they are not regressions: 1) it doesn't play well with the Ubuntu One contacts: this is known upstream, but I think it's to late for the fix to enter lucid. This is not a regression of syncevolution, though the fact that now (or maybe even in Karmic? sorry, I ignore) Ubuntu One holds contacts by default makes the worsen the issue. 2) in a vast percentage of tests, syncevolution hangs with evolution- data-server using all the available CPU: this is very unfortunate, but it happens with the current version of syncevolution as well, and hence seems to be a problem on the evolution side: I will anyway keep testing that and try to isolate the problem. -- Sync libsynthesis 3.2.0.35+ds2-2 from debian sid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
