As per our Grand Plan (TM) Evolution 1.5 has been released in time for the GNOME 2.5.1 development release. Snapshots are also available through Red Carpet for 5 platforms including SuSE 9 and RedHat 9.

Be sure to check out the Evolution code blog/blog archives to see all of the cool stuff that is being done to make Evolution rock even harder!

Upgrade Notes:
Evolution 1.5 can be installed at the same time as 1.4.x. However note
that there are still some bugs migrating data from 1.4.x to 1.5 and that
1.5 stores its information in ~/.evolution rather than ~/evolution/ so
that if you add new info in 1.5 in will not show up in 1.4.x.

What Has Changed:
Evolution 1.5 has fixed some major architectural issues and sees the
splitting out of the addressbook, calendar and task data access into a
separate library for other projects to use. Shell components are now
much more simplified.

We have also untangled the GUI quite a bit making the components (mail,
tasks, etc) more individual and improving the usage experience for the
user.

Reporting Bugs

The main purpose of this release is, of course, to gather as much
testing as possible from users. Your help in testing and submitting bugs
as you find them is highly appreciated.

If Evolution 1.5 crashes, please take the time to submit the bug using
Bug Buddy, trying to fill in as much detail as you can regarding the
circumstances that lead to the crash.

If, on the other hand, you find a problem in the behavior or the
appearance of the application, please go to http://bugzilla.ximian.com/
to use our Bugzilla interface to report the bug.

You can also check if your bug has been reported before by using the
search functionality of Bugzilla.

New key dialog: yeah, maybe, only because there isn't a very good standalone GPG gui for linux right now. (seahorse is ok, and kgpg looks dead.) This isn't really something for evo, though.

Autoretrieving public keys: Set this up thru gpg itself. Configure a keyserver in gpg.conf and tell gpg to automagically retrieve keys. I did this and it works flawlessly with evo. It even includes the key retrieval info in the sig. info. This doesn't need to be something included in evo.

Signing/unsigning in "fashionable" way: the way evo does it *is* the way the RFC says to do it. Evo is doing it the proper way. However, inline sigs, etc... I think are all being worked on.
