Update History / Release Notes

v2.1.29.0 - July 2010

FIX: Corrected issue with the notes sync where the subject of the Outlook note would get duplicated when updated from a Google document.
FIX: Corrected error "This property cannot be changed for a single instance of a recurring meeting." when gSyncit incorrectly attempts to assign a category to a recurring event exception which is not supported by Outlook.
FIX: Corrected issue with the settings import/export functionality where the export would create a .dat file while the import would look for a .xml file. The import/export process will use a settings.dat file format.
UPDATE: Added option to control how gSyncit handles events that were previously synced using a day range and now occur outside the current sync range when syncing by x days back/forward.

By default gSyncit will NOT delete items that occur outside the specified day range as the date moves forward each day. It will only delete items that were deleted by the user which occur within the active date range set as a result of using the day range settings.

A new configuration option has been exposed that allows any previously synced items that occur outside the current sync day range to be deleted from the target calendar.

This configuration option is available as the global sync options level and per each calendar mapping.
UPDATE: Added option to use Gmail's structured address format. This option was added to allow for proper address formatting when syncing with the iPhone/iTouch. This option is off by default.

v2.1.26.2 - June 2010

v2.1.25.1 - June 2010

v2.1.24.2 - June 2010

FIX: (TIME ZONE FIX) Corrected incorrect start/end time issue when synchronizing recurring events in a different time zone other than the default Windows and Google calendar time zone.

gSyncit will now properly sync Outlook _recurring_ events, that occur in a different time zone, with a Google calendar event. gSyncit will also now correctly update Outlook event time zone information with the recurring event time zone information allowing the Outlook calendar to properly display event date/time information based on the current windows time zone.
FIX: (DAYLIGHT SAVINGS FIX) Resolved time zone shifting issue related to syncing recurring events in other time zones with different DST start/end times. gSyncit failed to include the VTIMEZONE information with recurring events. This caused recurring events in other time zones to fail to render incorrectly on the Google calendar when crossing DST boundaries.
FIX: Corrected issue where when a product update is available multiple update notifications will appear when using the automatic sync option.
FIX: Corrected minor issue related to recurring events having the all-day flag being set for non all-day events. This caused a sync issue when syncing from events from Google to Outlook to Exchange and then finally to the Motorola Droid.
FIX: Corrected issue setting the time zone when syncing recurring events from Outlook to Google using the option to sync minimal data. In the v2.1.21 release this issue produces a 400 error while writing to the Google calendar when using the option to sync free/busy information.
FIX: Corrected issue where when deleting a recurring item that occurs within the sync date range but _starts_ outside of the range then then deleted item gets restored during the sync.
FIX: Corrected issue where changes to task properties in the Google event description incorrectly required a space between the property name and its value. For example, "Importance:high" would not sync when a space was missing after the ":".
FIX: Corrected "The recurrence pattern is not valid." error when updating an Outlook event where the source recurrence value contains an INSTANCE value for yearly recurring events.
FIX: Corrected known issue where if an Outlook event is opened during the sync process and the opened event is later is saved then it will get converted to a weekly recurring event by Outlook. This appears to be a bug within Outlook which is triggered by calling GetRecurrencePattern() rather than using IsRecurring on the appointment to determine if an event is recurring.
FIX/UPDATE: Restored the global calendar sync range configuration after a number of users were not pleased with its removal from the product in the v2.1.21 release.
FIX: Resolved duplicate contact creation issue when using the FileAs value for the Google full name that also contains company information. When gSyncit matches existing Gmail contacts with existing Outlook contacts if the FileAs name contains company information then gSyncit would fail to match the contact records causing a duplicate to be created. The matching logic has been further improved to support proper matching when using the FileAs value for the Gmail contact name value.
UPDATE: Changed the default task sync option to enabled for the option to sync task properties in the Google event description. In prior versions users had to explicitly set this option.
FIX: Added configuration option to turn on/off send attendee notifications when inserting/updating Google events. This option is turned _off_ by default.
UPDATE: Revised the delete dialog to note the target where items are going to be deleted from.
UPDATE: Revised logic for extracting email addresses from Outlook meeting event attendee's and populating the Google event participant list.
UPDATE: Updated the calendar keyword filtering functionality to include the event location field.
UPDATE: Updated the sync by day range to not delete items that fall outside the date range as the day range shifts forward each day.
UPDATE: Added the ability to only assign categories to new events imported from the Google calendar and not perform any filtering based on category assignment.
UPDATE: Added support for setting and displaying the task priority on Google events within the event location field. The Google event location will show as High, Low, or Normal.

v2.1.21 - May 2010

v2.1.20.4 - May 2010

FIX: Corrected "too many items" issue with the delete confirmation dialog a large number of items are deleted.
FIX: Corrected issue with the calendar category filter feature where when the option "Don't filter by category" is selected but categories are still defined in the category list then those categories would incorrect get assigned to Outlook events.
FIX: Corrected "The recurrence pattern is not valid." when updating recurring event day of week mask in the Outlook calendar for certain recurring event patterns (e.g. first day of every month). This error produced a more specific error of...

Error Details:
at
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.RecurrencePattern.set_DayOfWeekMask(OlDaysOfWeek DayOfWeekMask)
FIX: Corrected issue where the licensing terms were not properly appearing on the About panel of the settings dialog in the 64-bit version of gSyncit.
FIX: Added fix for Outlook 'Cannot Save Item' item. This error occurs when gSyncit attempts to update a cancelled Outlook appointment. Once the status of a Outlook event is marked as cancelled any updates are rejected to the Outlook event.
FIX: Added a fix for Outlook events randomly changing from a single event to a recurring weekly event. If an Outlook event is opened during the sync process then it is closed and synchronized. When the event is opened again in Outlook or modified within Outlook then _OUTLOOK_ switches the event to a weekly repeating event. A workaround has been implemented but this obviously appears to be a defect with Outlook.
FIX: Corrected 'DisplayType' failure when attempting to determine an appointment attended type. This error indicates that Outlook was unable to access the display type information for the attendee. When this happens gSyncit is unable to determine the type and email address of the attendee and skips over the entry.

The common error associated with this issue is "An object could not be found ... Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Recipient.get_DisplayType()"
FIX: Corrected issue where gSyncit still prompted user to confirm deletes for recurring event exceptions when the option to manually confirm deletes is disabled.
UPDATE: Updated the 64-bit installer so that it installs gSyncit into the "Program Files" folder instead of the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
UPDATE: Removed the default calendar sync options from the settings dialog. These options are not exclusively set on the calendar mapping tab. This was removed to resolve some confusion between the default calendar sync date range and those available on the calendar mapping. The default settings are automatically migrated to the calendar mapping as needed to avoid having to reconfigure any sync date ranges.
UPDATE: Added new Outlook Toolbar item to sync individual item types. A number of users have requested a way to sync individual item groupings rather than have to constantly sync items as part of the auto sync process.
UPDATE: Added option to bypass any proxy settings including using the windows automatic proxy detection logic.
UPDATE: Changed the reminder logic to explicitly use the popup reminder time for Outlook events when multiple reminders are defined for a Google calendar event.
