Ever since the upgrade Evolution from 1.4 to 2.x, this product includes source code for the Berkeley Database a product of Oracle Corpora- tion. Your use of the Berkeley Database software separately from Evolution or authorized derivatives thereof is subject to additional licensing conditions. Per-user configuration files and local storage in Evolution 2.x are stored in $HOME/.evolution directory as opposed to $HOME/evolution directory in Evolution 1.4. If the user had Evolution 1.4 installed on the system before, they are able to upgrade to Evolution 2.8 without losing configuration and local data. When run for the first time, Evolution 2.x will automatically check for and import all the old config- uration and local data owned by Evolution 1.4, and convert them to the format readable by Evolution 2.x. Users are also allowed to choose between preserving the $HOME/evolution directory or not. If users choose to preserve configuration and local data for Evolution 1.4, they will have to manage Evolution 1.4 and Evolution 2.8 configuration and data separately, after the one-time migration. No automatic syncing is available for ensuring that changes made to Evolution 2.x are ported to Evolution 1.4, or vice versa. The addressbook database formats of Evolution 2.x and Evolution 1.4 are different due to the use of different versions of Berkeley DB in the backend. User cannot simply copy the database file from Evolution 1.4 to Evolution 2.8 in order to do the porting of addressbook. Written by Jeff Cai, Sun Microsystems Inc., 2008.
