I upgraded my Evo install (on Ubuntu 7.04) from 2.11.4 to SVN HEAD (2.11.5)--that includes new builds/installs of libsoup (although nothing changed here), gtkhtml, evolution-data-server, evolution, and evolution-exchange (and evolution-webcal although I don't use this).
I was excited to try the new version because of all the bug fixes listed in it. However, I have to say that for me so far this release is a step backward in reliability from 2.11.4: The "initial delete" taking a long time (bug #442186) is still there, and actually worse than before in some cases. In particular the very first time I ran it after upgrading to 2.11.5, my entire session hung (I went off to browse the web and came back 10-15 minutes later and it was still hung: the window wouldn't repaint etc. and I had to kill it). I restarted and this time it took about the same time as it used to to delete the first item. My other issues (not seeing new mail in the summary, etc.) are all still there. And here's the REALLY troubling aspect... most of the mail in my Exchange INBOX disappears sometimes! I have 142 message in my Exchange inbox, but right now in my Evo it says I only have 7!! What happened was I was switching to another (already read) message in the Exchange INBOX, and the app again seemed to hang up, although I could see the little twirling icon that seemed to say it was waiting, so I let it sit there for a while. When I got back, it said I only had 7 message in my INBOX! Needless to say I was freaked out thinking all those other emails had been deleted. I restarted Evo SVN, but the same thing. Then I used --force-shutdown to stop all Evo processes, and restarted: still the same thing. Then I stopped Evo SVN and ran Evo 2.10.1, which is the standard version of Evo on my Ubuntu box. This version saw all the email so I knew it was still there (whew!) Then I restarted evo SVN and it could now see all my mail. But, just now it did the same thing again: now only 7 messages are visible! Offhand I can't see anything particular or special about the 7 messages. Plus, all my previous bugs still seem to be still there as well. Overall the program feels a bit quicker (although I build with -g and no -O so that probably doesn't help) but IMO the stability is not where it was even for 2.11.4. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
