RHBA-2005:557 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated evolution-connector packages that fix various bugs are now available.

Description

Evolution-connector adds functionality to Evolution when used with a
Microsoft Exchange Server. A problem was discovered when synchronizing
calendar information between a PDA and Exchange using evolution-connector.
Gnome-pilot was unable to complete synchronization, despite rapid
oscillation of the progress bar. This update fixes the problem.

In addition, the evolution-connector package now contains a number of
low-level tools for debugging connectivity with Exchange servers.

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
