# Changelog v0.8 -> v0.8.1 ## Various bugfixes and minor enhancements * urllib.quote on uuids before including it in a new URL on object creation * Principal.calendar (and CalendarSet.calendar) now accepts an URL as "cal_id" (this is a regression fix - it did work back in 0.5.0, but not in 0.8.0). * Minor workaround for problem with cloud.global/e.email: urllib.quote the calendar_home_set_url if it's a path and it contains the character '@' * Minor fixes to improve support for SOGo * Bugfix for non-ascii in the password * timezones ... the API of tzlocal was changed for a short while, pytz is deprecated, but icalendar only supports timestamps localized with pytz. What a mess! * Added supported-report-set to the tags (but so far no code for using it) * Multiget didn't work * Silly spelling mistake in one of the error classes * Attempts to resolve broken ical issues with X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-EVENT and X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION (#37, ...) * Compatibility issue with e.email Commits: ca12e15fadfd49dffcf01119e1b227f568fadf70, 5196ee7d64eae6c70d3cd602d40b55525400380e, 7b81cbc54237e2c1c33072329bc2359d0ef61e5f, 87510930a89fe9f8098346b356b4412ce35610f5, 4db75faf67b7355c89ada1119865b6dfc1d783c4, 17ce149635c0a4d44015d60a2d5362dec28d521c, b9c33ed9a5be83e94a7824fcfc0185048c397993, c9af8f598150af25cbb1e0716c845ac95c512c89, f30b574d099688760fe4ff6ee7ee13a5f82c5f08 dea36c80e4fc0e6a8be1f38f93ed17efc8733bfe d4991907462a0afe446939dbf64f4bcb11e58368 53ac8dcdd6b611e3448dab0ea101b1f83d66aeb2 57bf87ab123c2f7693ae68c659b68232d6000afd 72e303264d7347a2d9bdf6dddb618eb72b747d56 13a4714432fe0a2aebf4618a2830f66b16462a48 Github issues: https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/146, https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/148 https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/150 https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/37 https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/151 https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/142 https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/143 https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/153 Credits: Paul Waite, @brainsky, @TabError, @Friedi1970, Vincent Brillaut, Michael Thies, @l0ga, Raimund Schlüßler ## Documentation * Quite some minor changes in docstrings and comments in the code * Some minor tweaks at the documentation * Comments in the usage example that updating an event through `calendar.save_event(event.data)` may break. * Bugfix in the example code Commits: 35f72d37e12d6e8e966ee0873d0ba055c961def4 2549c1056ffce60b0c2919c5a13fd600e180b0de f5d3dafcd0b1e324557c50ef984868a15e28c04c 4f560d61ac5365f9794249ca3a71a88f607dcfbc 3451bcc0dae8686bcb95628e22d51aef5da92ef0 92c50898b5e00d963522640fa07c26261437442f 285bda15c8b4f6853c078fba084581096b2e052a b9c33ed9a5be83e94a7824fcfc0185048c397993 7b81cbc54237e2c1c33072329bc2359d0ef61e5f 9232a2d724ce7a4e1117447c62087413de8857d8 b3c13f079851a7ae413a08ee0ea4d08e8a265dac 53ac8dcdd6b611e3448dab0ea101b1f83d66aeb2 8ccf97d13bb6a2b92ffcc7709e249085e387ffc9 5826f5409c140129c2025dc6f4dfa38b06c11f0c afd95f0ac58d80c88ea001586b3dd4576e356e1a ## RFC6638 Version 0.8.0 was supposed to support RFC6638 fully, work on it was started for a client. but due to lack of support at the server side the work was halted prior to the release - hence version 0.8.0 contains some poorly tested support for RFC6638. I tried to do some more work on it after the 0.8.0-release, but ran out of time. I'm not sure when I will get the time to do more work on this - but at least 0.8.1 fixes some very silly things, like removing an occurrence of `pdb.set_trace()` in the middle of one of the methods ... (should probably add a pre-commit hook to avoid that in the future). Commits: b9c33ed9a5be83e94a7824fcfc0185048c397993 ## Tests Testing framework accepts even more "compatibility flags". SOGo and nextcloud have been tested. Some test code has been added to excersise the scheduling, but it's a bit difficult to test since it's needed with a server supporting RFC6638 and having three test users. It's needed with a Xandikos version less than 2.0.4 to get the automated tests to run (I should look into that).

I believe it's more essential to group the changes by purpose than by date/file modified, and I think it's important to have references to the issues in the issue tracker and commit IDs. Author is changed to "credits", emails are left out (though it's probably moot since those are publically available in the git repository anyway), and I'm skipping crediting myself. ## Support for WebDAV sync-tokens Github issues: https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/87, https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/122 https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/122, https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/142 Commits: 35a49ae860df1e8e7c6cec554d34ff6bc4a0c2dd, 11768b9b5aee24278b2a60209d3550933720374d, cec96c51bf2a770bd041e8db3896425f3ab997cd, bc138c55a7e85e4411cc4614f5f7da6f7ae97a36, d5c17b522bef2e62038528f609fe320e91720f87, c838a30f4c5aa343ec27c78571907e6963732403, bc589093a34f0ed0ef489ad5e9cba048750c9837 Credits: Nylas ## Improved support for iCloud, Google Apple seems to have more or less abandoned their position in the CalDAV ecosystem. While they've never said officially that iCloud supports CalDAV, they do support some basic CalDAV operations. There hasn't been done much dedicated work on supporting iCloud in this release, but a lot of testing has been done, some few tweaks, and some documentation. Google has two APIs, one legacy API and one new API. The new API is not supported yet. As with iCloud, while very little dedicated work has been done to support Google, I've done a lot of testing, some few tweaks, and some documentation. Unlike Apple, Google is very transparent on their (lack of proper) CalDAV support.

Should be ready for use, but it's relatively untested.

I've been consolidating lots of similar-looking code in previous releases, but it has been sort of "cargo-cult copying", I never bothered to really understand the lxml.etree module, nor to dig deeper into the details in the XML communication going on. Basic XML response parsing has now been moved to the DAVResponse class, the response parsing should be a little bit easier to understand and debug, a little bit more robust, and I also made the API for fetching properties simpler to understand. A lot of testing has been done, the "pure" unit test has been split out to a separate file, this includes lots of XML response snippets observed from the various server implementations and expectations on how they should be parsed.
