A little while ago I though I ANTLR sussed. What a fool I was. After exclaiming my skills at understanding syncatic predicates, I found a bug where my definition of an atom didn't support an number of non-alphanumeric characters. Using the solution that I had implemented by hacking up the pre-existing ANTLR grammar it was basically unfixable, mainly due to the excessively ambiguous nature of the IMAP grammar.

For those of you who had issues synchronizing your Meldware Calendar via iCal to Evolution or some other client this forum post documents a quick fix. We've captured this packaging change in a minor patch build (labeled 20070225) off the 1.0M7 branch that you can download here. This does not contain any changes from the HEAD, in fact it contains no code changes whatsoever (only build fixes for packaging).

Whoohoo so Meldware Communication Suite 1.0M7 is finally out. I'd like to give you a little tour of what the webmail and webcalendar look like in this release. James is whining at me to get a demo up. I also owe a few people buni.org email addresses (we give these out like candy to contributors or people who are interested in propagating the Meldware inside their organization). While I'm getting to that I thought I'd give a little tour...

We've managed to get Milestone 7 out the door now which is great. Andy has bestowed 'Beta' status onto the IMAP implementation, which I think acurately reflects the work that has gone into it recently. The main changes for IMAP in M7 include a new MIME parser, a new proxy pattern based API for the Mailbox, a complete reimplementation of our ANTLR parser (in fact its not a parser at all, its just a lexer) and a new Search implementation. Its the details of new search that I wanted to bore you with today.

I think that this new release of our open source groupware package, Buni Meldware Communication Server 1.0M7 is our most significant to date. You can web install it by clicking here or download the signed installation jar here and execute it with the Java 5.0 "java -jar" command. This release is our first really usable IMAP release (promoted to BETA quality). As mentioned Mike Barker has been making some great performance leaps in our MIME, IMAP and storage areas.

I have nearly written a build for Flex Scheduling Framework except that I'm burping on how to include the Flex libraries. I discovered Adobe's Flex Ant Tasks. Since the Flex Scheduling Framework is under the BSD license, I was hopeful that the ant tasks would be as well. I was dismayed to see this license instead. 2.1.1 No Modifications, No Reverse Engineering. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, Licensee shall not modify, port, adapt or translate the Software.

Panto is now integrated into the Meldware code base and a separate release is available. This should now make it into our Milestone 7 release.
