[Kde-pim] KDE 4.2 KPilot coming! (how to both be excited and have realistic expectations)

[Gunter Ohrner]

Hi!

Rats! Yesterday I busily wrote about my experiences with kpilot from KDE 
4.2 final - too late I noticed nothing was sent in fact due to kNode bug 
#182151... :-P

Ok, let's do it again...

I'm now using KDE 4.2.0 and am positively surprised by the bundled 
kpilot version!

Now that I can sync my addressbook again I revived my old address 
collection containing dozend addresses, imported it from KDE 3.5 and 
took some time to revise and update it. I thought it would be a good 
test for kpilot's reliability

While I had had some wired issues with kpilot from KDE 4.2 RC1 - not all 
records were synced to my Palm, while other got magically duplicated in 
place of the missing ones - I've had no problems so far using kpilot 
from KDE 4.2.0.

In fact, even the mess created on my phone by kpilot test release was 
fixed automatically when syncing with the final release for the first time.

So far, I've synced both schedules and contacts in both directions and 
did not get any unexpected results so far.

So far, I just wanted to thank Jason and all the other kpilot authors 
and contributors for their effort and their hard work - it's priceless 
for me to have a working syncing solution again! :)

Should any problem pop up during my testing, I'll report back immediately.

Greetings,

   Gunter
