Note: Please be sure to understand the difference between a phone using Windows Mobile Phone Edition (simply a Pocket PC with a build in phone) and a Windows Smart Phone. If your Phone has a touchscreen, you have a Windows Mobile Phone Edition device and should download the Pocket PC client. Using the SmartPhone version on a Pocket PC won't hurt, but this version has a limited user interface.

FinchSync Version history:

V 0.80 d (Server only)

  • Fix bug in adding category mappings.
  • Some more bugfixes.
V 0.80 b (Server & Client)
  • Added logging control to server.

  • Added category mapping.
  • Added alias names.
  • Added 'no gui' option for the server.
  • Added webinterface for the server.
  • Faster contact processing on PocketPC
  • More stable processing on the PocketPC, faulty items will not break the whole synchronization.
  • Removed some bugs according to alarm settings of tasks.
  • Improved compatibility with Rainlendar.
V 0.72 f (Server & Client)
  • Fixed some bugs in Task synchronisation.
  • Added a 'Scan Disk' button to the 'New Sync Source' wizzard to avoid automatic scanning as this may take very long on some Linux systems.
  • Support for SmartPhones running Windows Mobile. 
V 0.72 e (Server & Client)
  • Task-priority is now synced.
  • Improved parser for calendar and adressbook files.
  • Added daylight saving workaround. (see FAQ topic nr. 7 for details.)

V 0.72 d (Server only)

Fixed bug in Mozilla adressbook parser.

V 0.72 c (Server only)

Improved reading of Sunbird/Mozilla Calendar *.ics files:

  • Ignoring those funny X-Components. (Boy, those Sunbird guys really now how to write non-standard files !!!)
  • Parsing of multiple VCALENDAR elements from one file.
V 0.72 b (Server only)
  • Fixed bug in reading Mozilla addressbooks.
V 0.72
  • Fixed bug in reading *.ics Calendar files, if an e-mail Alarm is used. (The resulting *.ics file writen by Thunderbird is not valid according to the VCalendar specification and was rejected by FinchSync's parser. The bug will be fixed in upcoming Sunbird versions.)
  • Fixed bug 'Unable to create snapshot' Exception, causing synchronization to fail. This happens on some Pocket PCs, when the closing of PIM applications fails. Now the synchronization will proceed without exception, but an entry to the log will be added. See FAQ topic nr. 5 for more details.
  • Fixed bug 'Unresolved alias' Exception while reading adressbook files.
  • Fixed bug, contact's pager number will now be synchronized.
