[Calendarserver-discuss] imip-agent 0.2 (iMIP capabilities for mail servers)

[Paul Boddie]

Hello,

Since there's been some discussion about it on this list, I thought I would 
announce a new version of imip-agent: an extension for existing mail systems 
(such as Exim and Postfix) providing extra support for calendaring and 
scheduling using the iCalendar, iMIP and iTIP standards.

Here's the Web page:

And the changes since I made the 0.1 release:

I spent some time looking at the storage architecture and permitting the 
storage of calendar objects in PostgreSQL, providing an alternative to just 
using the filesystem for those who perhaps trust a relational database a bit 
more. I've also broadened the automated scheduling support, adding things like 
policies and scheduling constraints:

There are still plenty of things to consider adding and improving, but I 
thought it to be a reasonable point in time to define the work done so far as 
a new release.

Thanks to everyone who has offered help and encouragement around this work!

Paul
