[GroupDAV] ANN: SOGo Connector v0.66

[Wolfgang Sourdeau]

The Inverse Team is pleased to announce the 0.66 release of the "SOGo
Connector" extension for Thunderbird.

=== What is the SOGo Connector ===

This extension transforms Thunderbird into a full DAV client for
groupware servers such as SOGo, OpenGroupware.org or Citadel. It does
this by adding support for remote DAV address books and by adding
features to be used along with the Lightning calendar extension.

More information can be found on our website :

=== What is SOGo ===

SOGo is a free and modern scalable groupware server. It offers shared
calendars, address books and emails through your favorite Web browser
or by using a native client such as Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning.

SOGo is standard-compliant and supports CalDAV, CardDAV, GroupDAV and
reuses existing IMAP, SMTP and database servers - making the solution
easy to deploy and interoperable with many applications.

SOGo features :

* Scalable architecture suitable for deployments from dozen to many
thousand users
* Rich Web-based interface that shares the look and feel, the
features and the data of Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning
* Improved integration with Mozilla Thunderbird and Lighthing by
using the SOGo Connector
* Two-way synchronization support with any SyncML-capable devices
(BlackBerry, Palm, Windows CE, etc.) by using the Funambol SOGo
Connector

and many more! SOGo and our connectors are completely free. We have a
demo website where you can experience SOGo from the Web or your
preferred CalDAV client:

=== Changes since the last release ===

* rewrite of the CardDAV addressbook implementation:
  * fixes the situation where one was not able to write to a mailing
list
  * fixes the duplicate entries for such addressbooks
  * fixes the autocompletion working only one time per two tries
* improved the performance and the reliability of the freebusy
resolution in the attendees window
* added a hook to give up the startup process to the SOGo Integrator
if present
