This means that it has -bugs, including possibly destructive bugs that can cause valuable data -to be lost. - -For this reason, please make sure you back up your mail and your -calendar/addressbook information before using Evolution 1.1.2 on them. -In particular, you are strongly advised to backup the `evolution' -directory in your home directory if you are upgrading from a 1.0.x -version of Evolution to Evolution 1.1.2. - - -UPGRADING FROM 1.0.x - -The format of certain configuration files has changed in this version -of Evolution. When you start Evolution 1.1.2 for the first time, it -will automatically migrate your configuration so that it will work as -expected with this version. - -IMPORTANT: After you have succesfully installed Evolution 1.1.2, -please make sure that Evolution 1.0.x isn't running anymore and type -command `killev' on the command-line (without quotes) before launching -the new version of Evolution. - - -RETURNING TO 1.0.x - -If you want to return to a 1.0.x version after trying 1.1.2, you have -to restore the original configuration files. From the command-line, -you can do the following, after having quit Evolution: - - killev - cd ~/evolution - mv filters.xml.bak-1.0 filters.xml - mv vfolders.xml.bak-1.0 vfolders.xml - mv shortcuts.xml.bak-1.0 shortcuts.xml - mv mail/imap.bak-1.0 mail/imap - -Note that any changes to filters, vfolders or shortcuts made with -1.1.2 will be lost after this operation. - -Also note that the upgrade mechanism runs automatically only the first -time you run 1.1.2. For this reason, if you run Evolution 1.1.2, then -go back to 1.0 using the aforementioned procedure, and then go back to -using 1.1.2 again, the settings will not be upgraded. - -To force the upgrade to happen again in this case, use the following -command to start Evolution 1.1.2: - - evolution --force-upgrade - -IMPORTANT: After you have succesfully installed Evolution 1.0.x, -please make sure that Evolution 1.1.2 isn't running anymore and type -command `killev' on the command-line (without quotes) before launching -the older version of Evolution. - - -SEARCH CRITERIA CHANGES - -When you specify multiple words in search "contains" criterion, -Evolution will now search the mail messages that contain all the words -specified, in any order. (The 1.0.x behavior was to look for the -whole string in "subject contains" matches, and matched no messages in -the case of body searches.) - -This applies to the search bar, the filter rules and the vfolder -rules. Filter rules and vfolder rules might need to be re-adjusted -after you upgrade to version 1.1.2. - - -IMAP FOLDER NAME CHANGES (I18N) - -If you created any folder names using non-ASCII characters using prior -versions of Evolution, you will find they may not be displayed -properly anymore. This is because previous versions did not implement -IMAP I18N folder names correctly as specified in RFC 2060. - -The upgrade script will try to rectify any filters or vfolders using -any such names. However, as it does not know the character set used -by the server, non ISO-8859-1 (latin-1) characters will not be -properly converted. You may need to reverify the filter and vFolder -rules in this case. - -Also note that if such folder names do not display properly that it is -purely cosmetic and may be fixed by renaming the folder(s) in -question. - |
