SOPE Shapeshifter 4.3.9 (alpha)

SOPE 4.3.9 is now available, including packages for Debian Sid and Sarge, as well as RPMs for Mandrake, Fedora Core 2 and various SuSE releases (8.2, 9.1, 9.2 and SLES 9).
The two major new features are that SOPE now has a configure script which allows for compilation without GNUstep.sh being sourced in the environment, and that the iCalSaxDriver was removed in favor of the versitSaxDriver, initially written by Max Berger and improved by ZNeK. Due to this we could finally remove the dependency on the dreaded libical.
Besides that, ZNeK cleaned up the string escaping code in NGExtensions and made it Unicode safe. Further, the IMAP4 client library was enhanced to properly support body structure fetches, the SoObject subproject got a new invocation class (SoActionInvocation) for invoking WODirectAction based SoMethods from product.plist and finally the WebDAV layer received a lot of fixes and cleanups.
We encourage you to check out the new SOPE RPMs and report bugs to guarantee an awesome SOPE 4.4 release!
