L2CPBG 0.9.8 - Bugfix & Maintenance release¶

Beside some minor 3rd party package updates, this release also:

• Fix a bug with CardDAV to LDAP mappings.
  If you recognized wrong mobile, homePhone or fax number assignments (i.e. mobile LDAP request returned a facsimile number), than you might be interested in this update.
• Made a big update in the used webdav/carddav libraries.

Breaking changes¶

• Changed default [ldap.map] itype/etype values. If you've custom itypes/etype configuration changes within your config, you might need to adapt them. Please check the default
  l2cpbg.conf about how they changed.

License change¶

Now that L2CPBG become more and more usable, it got necessary to ensure that the free version get only used by private persons and not by companies or professionals. That's why I limited the "Free" version also to 2 phones (LDAP clients) as well as a max. of 100 contacts.

Luckily I also got convinced that it would be more approriate (in special for smaller companies) to have a more fair price-matrix instead of a "one for all fee".

If you get hit by the new limitations of the free version, think about selling a license (also to support further development). Here's the price matrix:

Before deciding to buy a license, please ensure that L2CPBG work as expected with all your phones and your CardDAV server. If you can't test it because of the free limitations, or any other reason, don't hesitate to ask for a 60 day evaluation license. Simply drop me a mail to projects@shbe.net with your real name.

Important macOS upgrade info:¶

If you already have l2cpbg versiom 0.9.2 installed, you need to deactivate your old l2cpbg instance via l2cpbg --service=stop and l2cpbg --service=uninstall, before installing the new version. After installing the new version, activate it again (via l2cpbg --service=install and l2cpbg --service=start)

Added config options¶

[location]
  prettifyNoAreaInSameArea = true|false

which strips the local area code from destination number, when located in same area. Defaults to true.

[location]
  prettifyRemoveSpaces = false|true

which will remove all spaces from a prettified phone number. Defaults to false.
