Bug Description
This is an accumulated stability update fixing a number of crashes and information loss situations as well as regressions in kdepim 3.5.10.
Going through the changelog:
* Add kubuntu_
in korganizer leading to objects being lost.
Rationale: Can lead to informaion loss in certain cases. Extremely minor fix.
* Add kubuntu_
folder doesn't stay hidden if content is added.
- See http://
Rationale: kde 3.5.10 introduced hiding of the local inbox if it wasn't in use; if hidden starting to use the inbox would however not make it appear again. This introduced a "practical" mail loss. This patch fixes this and will reveal the mail again.
TEST CASE: Open a fresh kmail, inbox is hidden. Add a new account that delivers to the hidden inbox, the inbox doesn't show up again. Install the version from hardy-proposed and the inbox now appears.
* Add kubuntu_
resources crashing kontact, most notably when using GCal. (LP: #286905)
Rationale: Regression from kdepim 3.5.9.
TEST CASE: Add google calendar to kontact; switch to kmail and back and kontact crashes. Install the version from hardy-proposed and the crashing stops.
* Add kubuntu_
under certain conditions as the UID map wasn't being reloaded.
Rationale: Can lead to large amounts of informaion loss in certain cases. Minor fix.
* Add kubuntu_
due to certain malicious base64-encoded mail parts.
Rationale: Can crash KMail by tricking the user into opening a malicious mail.
The accumulated update in total has a very little regression potential; and furthermore fixes already introduced regressions.
Test build of the proposed SRU is avaible in my PPA: https:/
