NOTES
Ever since the upgrade Evolution from 1.4 to 2.x, this pro-
duct includes source code for the Berkeley Database a pro-
duct of Oracle Corporation. Your use of the Berkeley Data-
base software separately from Evolution or authorized
derivatives thereof is subject to additional licensing con-
ditions.
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 configuration
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 avail-
able 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 Evolu-
tion 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.
