Release notes

The 1.0.1.5 version contains several new features and bug fixes (see the details below). Please make sure you are using Lotus Notes version 6.5 or above.

Current version still doesn't support the synchronization of the repeated events with exeptions (e.g. a repeated event that has one of its instances modified or deleted). We are working on this now and next major release of Awesync will support repeated events completely.

 

What's new

Features:
+ check for updates (manual & automatic);
+ ability to run in portable mode - see details in FAQ;
+ New option "Use SSL (https://)" allows you to enable/disable secure connection for Google data transfer.
Disable this option only for troubleshooting, in case if you're gettting error "Can't connect to Google" too often. Please note, that authentication at Google service is always performed using https, so, if your firewall doesn't allow SSL connections, you won't be able to use AweSync.

Bugs fixed:
- Value Cannot Be Null in deleting events from LN
- Value Cannot Be Null in Lotus Notes 6.5.0
- Can't find notes.ini (in some rare cases)
- bug with "all day event"

Please note, that Lotus Notes has limited support for Vista and Windows 7.  Single-user installation of Lotus Notes requires specific configuration. See Compatibility Notes (http://awesync.com/node/246) for details.


Even Works Over VPN

So far, so good.  I had tried another product and if I tried to sync when connected to my corp. network via VPN, it would delete all my Google calendar entries it had previously synced.  Awesync was quite a bit slower syncing over VPN than when I'm in the office, but it works!
I'm also doing only a one-way sync from Notes to Google.  It figures out pretty quickly (one minute) the number of calendar items it needs to ship off to Google, but then takes 20+ minutes to do it....sticks on "Synchronizing documents..."

Thanks for trying AweSync

Hi,
Yes, connecting through VPN together with SSL (encrypting makes it even slower) to Google might be quite slow. BTW, are other Internet applications slow through your VPN as well?
Thanks.

Awesome Sync

You guys are great! I love the tool, and from the few scenarios I've tested its much better than the compionlink crap. So now the big question is: When is the next major release coming out? I really need support for recurring events with exceptions as that's about half the events in my calendar.

The next major release is planned for March

Thanks a lot for great feedback about our product, it's really a pleasure to read. The next major release is scheduled for March, and it will have recurring events with exceptions supported. Likely this will be the first commercial release (with evaluation period for sure).

This is exactly what I was looking for!

Just got myself a nice android phone, and needed a way to stop missing my meetings on Monday mornings ... your program is a lifesaver!  Thanks for making the beta open for us to evaluate.  I hope to have some feedback for the team in the coming days/weeks.
