Evolution 2.0 Released, Screenshots

Posted by timothy on from the yummy-looking dept.

comforteagle writes "This seems to be slow getting out, but since Novell hasn't updated their site ... Evolution 2.0.0 has been released. Most importantly it has built in JunkFilter support with SpamAssassin, web calendars, and NNTP support. Oh, and some bugfixes. I've posted some screenshots today as well."

  1. New feature list... by dmayle · · Score: 5, Informative

    It wasn't in the new feature list, but Evolution 2.0 is the one that's supposed to include the GPL'ed Exchange connector, as well as support for Novell's mail server (I forget the name.)

  2. Document the EDS!! by IGnatius+T+Foobar · · Score: 5, Informative

    All this new configurability and extensibility in Evo 2.0 is great, but what I'd really like to see is some better documentation for the "Evolution Data Server" (basically the Camel and Wombat API's). Ximian/Novell are hoping that the community will be excited about writing "snap-ins" to extend Evo's functionality, but what about those of us who would like to, for example, connect it to other back-end data stores? There's a "connector" for Groupwise and a "connector" for Exchange ... what if I want to write a "connector" for some other groupware server? (I'm asking this question because I do want to do exactly that.) These API's are barely documented. You have to reverse-engineer the existing connector code to get anything done with it. I'd like to see some real docs.

    If you want small apps that do one thing, you really should be using KDE. Gnome apps tend to be big monolithic things far more often, whereas with KParts, KDE is entirely made of small one-function apps that embed eachother.

    Yes, not inline(!) though. Which most other mailers seem to use.
