A NEWS entry was intended to be in place, but evidently was missed. Raising severity to not enter testing without that in place.

Upgrading from 1.1.6-4 (currently in testing) should attempt(!) to do an export to /var/backup before code and configfile is changed. Upgrading from older releases (i.e. stable) is known broken: https://bugs.debian.org/864746 > (for some reason, Radicale uses random hexadecimal strings instead of > calendar title, whereas it is the actual string you have to type in > your CalDAV client), This is part of the CalDAV and CardDAV specifications, to not be limited by filesystem constraints - e.g. calendars with same name do not clash. > [importing via Thunderbird addon Lightning to new calendars] actually > was more straightforward than using the whole export storage thing. Depending on how exactly your old data was stored (there were multiple formats, and they were more permissive) you might indeed have better luck with other migration approaches than https://radicale.org/1to2/ - for some cases consulting https://radicale.org/storage/ may be relevant. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
