DAVx⁵ 2.5 Release Notes

rfc2822

Version 2.5

update ical4j: now allows UTC properties to have non-UTC values for compatibility
Account activity completely reworked
- use tabs for CalDAV/CardDAV/Webcal
- use RecyclerView, PagedList adapter and Room observeable queries for best performance even with huge lists
- progress bars now also show pending syncs (semi-transparent bar without animation)
DavService: don’t delete all homesets/collections on refresh, but update only changed rows
vCard: use groupX. instead of davdroidX. for property grouping (so that there is no “davdroid” in the property name)
use Conscrypt to bring modern TLS versions/ciphers to all supported Android versions
use AndroidX Room for database access
many small improvements and bug fixes
