Hi everyone,

I'm happy to announce the general availability of OpenSync 0.21, after "only" 14 weeks of development. This will be the last release before the big new 0.30 change which will probably have a longer release cycle.

Changes since 0.20: * OpenSync lib:

The most important new feature will be the NOT-UNIQUE-UID fix. Warning: This fix caused a DB and a API change! So you need to remove db files in existing sync groups. (recreate your group or osyncdump $group --reset)
BASE64 to B encoding is now supported that allows to transfer a base64 encoded photo vcal to b encoded photo ical.
Unit tests are back. We hope that the upcoming 0.21 release will be the first release after 0.18(or before?) with working unit tests. (Not working test will be removed before release!)
many fixes in VCALICAL conversion and RRULEs
