  • A lot of bug fixes and enhancements.

New in AweSync 5.0.4.1 Beta (Aug 19, 2014)

  • The most important change in this major release is switching from the current Google APIs for Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notebook to the new ones. The existing APIs start becoming inactive on November 17th, 2014, so we had to rewrite Awesync using the new APIs to keep the product working after that date. First of all, the new APIs work much faster. Also, the new API for Tasks should resolve some issues with tasks synchronization in case of Google 2-step authentication. The other major improvement is support of proxy servers with transparent Microsoft NTLM authentication protocol. It will enable users with NTLM authentication inside their networks to use Awesync without taking any additional steps, such as installing 3rd party tools as intermediary proxies, etc.

New in AweSync 4.25.0 (Mar 25, 2014)

  • Fixed the problem with tasks synchronization.

New in AweSync 4.24.0 (Mar 6, 2014)

New in AweSync 4.21.0 (Jun 17, 2013)

  • In this release we've fixed a problem which prevented tasks from being synchronized. The problem appeared after unexpected and hence unpredictable changes on Google side and caused various error messages related to tasks sync, such as "Index is out of range", "Can't parse JSON text", etc. In addition to this fix, AweSync code was optimized - now synchronization is not stopped in case notes.ini file is not found while Notes session itself is opened successfully

  • Added possibility to synchronize Lotus Notes Notebook entries in rich text format (except in-line pictures or attachments);
  • Added possibility to define a folder in Google Docs to sync Notebook entries. Please note that if you change the name of Google Docs folder for Notebook synchronization, the documents already synchronized to your default folder (created by AweSync in Google Docs) and not modified after setting change immediately.

  • Fixed the error "Can't process: An item with the same key has already been added".

New in AweSync 4.7.0 (Mar 18, 2011)

  • Added Notebook synchronization:
  • During the first synchronization of Notebook between Notes and Google Docs, AweSync will create a new folder in Google Docs named "Lotus Notes Notebook", to where Notebook entries from Notes will be synchronized as Documents. When synchronizing from Google to Notes, AweSync will synchronize only documents found in the folder "Lotus Notes Notebook", so if you will be doing one-way sync from Google to Notes and you do not have the folder with this name in Google Docs, you'll need to create it first and place there the Documents you need to synchronize. Please note that only synchronization of Documents is supported - nor Spreadsheets, neither Presentations will be synchronized.
  • Also, keep in mind that in current release formatting is preserved only when Notebook entries created in iNotes are synchronized to Google Docs one-way only. In all other cases all formatting will be transformed to plain text. For example, if you have a Document in Google Docs folder "Lotus Notes Notebook" with formatting, and then edit it, then upon synchronization to Lotus Notes all formatting will be lost. Or, in another example, if you have your Notebook locally in Lotus Notes client, and synchronize it to Google Docs, it will show without formatting as a plain text in Google Docs. And if you modify it on Google Docs side with two-way synchronization enabled, triggering pushing changes from Google Docs to Lotus Notes, this will also make you lose the formatting upon next synchronization;
  • Added support of Dutch language;
  • Fixed the error "Returned code: 403. Reason: The property "goo.allowInvitesOther" may only be changed by the organizer";
  • Fixed the problem with reminders synced only for events created by user;
  • Fixed the error "Returned code: 400. Reason: Wrong value of original Id";
  • Fixed the error "Google operation failed (400): Participant is neither attendee nor organizer";
  • Fixed the problem with changing time-zone while AweSync is open, which caused meetings between Google calendar and Lotus Notes to be occurring at different times;
  • Fixed the problems with windows profile synchronization due to the length of some files in the directory specified in object.

New in AweSync 4.6.0 (Jan 24, 2011)

  • Fixed impossibility to select ID file under Windows XP SP3 (which was treated erroneously as Vista);

New in AweSync 2.1.3 (May 26, 2010)

  • Fixed "403 - Google didn't accept participants". This error occurs when meeting has an invitee with improper or absent email address. Google requires valid email for all invitees. Awesync will create fake email for such invitees with address "[email protected]". If this fake email also is not accepted by Google (for example, if user name contain symbols not accepted by Google), then event will be sent from Lotus to Google without any participants, like if you cleared Privacy Option "Synchronize invitees from Lotus to Google" for this particular event;
  • Fixed "Instance date is not in possible instance dates". This error occurs if recurring Lotus Notes event has invalid structure. Particularly, if main Appointment document (it's not visible in Calendar) has a recurrence list of dates not including really scheduled dates in an event itself (i.e. real event instance shown in your Lotus Notes calendar).

New in AweSync 2.1.0 (May 7, 2010)

  • Fixed the problem with events cancelled by another chair in Lotus Notes not cancelled in Google.

New in AweSync 2.0.1.7 (Apr 30, 2010)

  • Now chairperson of Lotus Notes event will be synchronized to Google Invitees field on first position. Please note that you need to follow the same "spam" protection techniques as described for Invitees synchronization in this article. Also, disabling Invitees synchronization from Lotus Notes to Google will disable chairperson synchronization as well;
  • Events from read-only Google Calendars are now not marked as busy time in Lotus Notes;
  • Fixed the bug when meetings canceled in Lotus Notes were not removed from Google Calendar;
  • Fixed the problem with yearly repeating events synchronized from Lotus Notes to Google causing additional schedule exceptions;

New in AweSync 2.0.1.5 (Apr 23, 2010)

  • New Google API 1.5.0.0 is used in this release instead of current 1.4.0.2 for higher synchronization speed
  • Distributed environment support is enhanced in AweSync, when synchronization is working in automatic mode simultaneously from several computers. The profile document, in which index is "locked" now when synchronization is started, so that process doesn't start at the same time on other computers (if working against the same replica of the database). If AweSync is terminated unexpectedly and "lock" is not removed upon synchronization completion, you will be alerted about locked profile, and it will be possible to unlock manually
  • Fault tolerance is increased for the index. Now in addition to the profile document in mail database, index is additionally stored on the local file-system periodically during synchronization, so that it can be automatically recovered in case of unexpected fault such as power-off, or process kill
  • Added the option to disable pop-up balloon if Lotus Notes database is unavailable - should be also useful for traveling users who synchronize against the server database, but don't maintain persistent connection to Lotus Domino server
  • Fixed potential deletion of events from Lotus, when switching from 2-way to 1-way sync and back
  • Fixed events from read-only Google calendars not synchronized back to Lotus, if they were removed manually in Lotus. Now they will be synchronized back to Lotus after the second synchronization (first sync will update them properly in index)

New in AweSync 2.0.1.4 (Apr 21, 2010)

  • Fixed error "Google service did not accept participants" causing further errors "Google operation failed (409): Version conflict";
  • Fixed error "Can't process: Notes error: Invalid or nonexistent document";
  • Minor UI fixes.

New in AweSync 2.0.1.2 (Apr 21, 2010)

  • Fixed "Can't process: The file exists" error;
  • Fixed "Google operation failed (409): Version conflict" caused by operation time-out in Google;
  • Changed behavior for users, who enable option "Don't prompt for a password from other Lotus Notes-based programs" in their Lotus Notes User Security settings or use Lotus Notes single logon. If no password is saved in AweSync Lotus Options, then on the first sync, users will be prompted to enter the password. Leaving password blank in this prompt together with enabling "save password in settings" will make AweSync save empty password in settings, and it won't be asked again if Lotus Notes is running in the background.

New in AweSync 2.0.1.1 (Apr 21, 2010)

  • New feature is implemented. If due to security reasons you canot store Lotus Notes or Google password in AweSync settings, you can leave password field(s) blank. In this case Awesync will prompt for password(s) and will use them until you exited AweSync;
  • Fixed - ERROR - "Error during Google batch run: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: key" which caused event duplication;
  • Fixed - WARN - BatchId of processed event is empty. EventId: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Status: 200. Reason: Success;
  • Fixed - WARN - Value cannot be null. Parameter name: Document is null

New in AweSync 2.0.1.0 (Apr 21, 2010)

  • Increased synchronization reliability in case network faults during the process;
  • Fixed the error with duplicate entries in index "An item with the same key has already been added";
  • Index processing has been changed, so now if there is an error, which is not critical, synchronization will go through. But if index structure is critically damaged, sync will stop. In latter case you would need to submit an issue to our Support database to get further directions;
  • Fixed the "Error in ProcessSophisticatedRules"

New in AweSync 2.0.0.9 (Apr 21, 2010)

  • Fixed "Network Unavailable" error for users who connect to the Internet via proxy server

New in AweSync 2.0.0.8 (Apr 21, 2010)

  • Added Privacy Options. Currently it can be used only to disable invitees synchronization, due to multiple requests from our users, who need it for privacy purposes, or who experienced Google Calendar sending reminders to their invitees email. Please note, that when Invitees are disabled for synchronization, this field will not be synchronized immediately, however it will not be cleared from those events, which were already synchronized. If sync for this field will be re-enabled again, synchronization of invitees for those events, for which it was previously prevented, will not be performed.
  • So, if you're using one way sync from Lotus Notes to Google, and need to make sure all your events coming from Lotus Notes to Google don't have invitees, you would need to remove and re-create a Google calendar for receiving events from Lotus Notes, and perform the sync in there. See the details below.
  • This is an instruction on how to push all events from Lotus Notes to Google without invitees for those, who are using one way synchronization to dedicated Google calendar. It is not recommended for those, who are using different synchronization directions and options.
  • As you're synchronizing one way, you can try to perform a "sync from scratch" sequence of actions:
  • Delete the calendar in Google, to which you're pushing Lotus Notes events - if possible, i.e. if you don't create events in it manually (otherwise, you would need to leave this calendar, but manually delete events coming from Lotus Notes, which is a bit painful).
  • Create new empty Google calendar for receipt of events from Lotus Notes.
  • Change your AweSync settings to synchronize with only this new Google calendar as default (don't forget to click Retrieve button, so that new calendar appears)
  • From tray icon select Debug -> Remove Index
  • Perform sync all
  • Added Network Options with a new option to show balloon pop-up, when the network is unavailable, and moved other network settings there.
  • Added a progress indication, when verification is done whether any calendar events were removed from Lotus on the final phase of synchronization for better visual control, as user may think it is hanged
  • Changed retrieving of primary documents from Google with smaller batches to prevent hanging
  • Changed working with batches sent to Google during synchronization to increase reliability
  • Fixed error happening when one instance of a repeating event created by a delegate was rescheduled "The batch operation for event (Event URI is not found) failed. Returned code: 403. Reason: You can't modify a cancelled event"
  • Fixed few misspellings in the log

New in AweSync 2.0.0.7 (Apr 2, 2010)

  • Exception when the main AweSync form loads
  • Fixed the error preventing synchronization to complete normally "The entry is already part of this collection"
  • Fixed Notes Document cannot be parsed - DateTime field is empty: RepeatInstanceDates - now if field is missing or invalid AweSync collects information from the other fields
  • Fixed similar problem - Invalid field "StartDateTimes" (dimension is X, but should be Y)
  • Fixed the problems with synchronization of events originating from MS Outlook
  • Fixed the problem with America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires time zone "No rules found for rule name Arg"

New in AweSync 2.0.0.6 (Apr 2, 2010)

  • Fixed exception "AweSync.MainForm ........", which occured on startup in some rear cases.

New in AweSync 2.0.0.5 (Apr 2, 2010)

  • Fixed "Error happened while Google batch ran";
  • Fixed "System.NullReferenceException at Google.GData.Client.AtomBaseLink.get_AbsoluteUri()";
  • Fixed "Can't process: Value cannot be null.";
  • Fixed "Can't convert time zone from...";
  • Fixed "Can't process: Exception... Domino8.NotesDocumentClass.get_Items()";
  • Fixed "Unexpected error: {0}Systen.NullReferenceException: AweSync.MainForm_Load(object sender , EventArgs e)";
  • Fixed "Upgrade Now box pop up every time a sync occurs" - now this message box will be shown only once;
  • Fixed "Proxy password is lost, and also in auto-detect it doesn't ask for password".

New in AweSync 2.0.0.4 (Apr 2, 2010)

  • "Child domain removed" problem causing not all recurring events to be synchronized is fixed;
  • New known instances of "Notes document cannot be parsed" fixed;
  • Potentially slow or even hanging synchronization fixed;
  • Fixed events created in Google calendar from iPhone not synchronizing into Lotus Notes;
  • Fixed the problem with invitees and locations being removed during synchronization, which also caused conversion of Meetings into Appointments.

New in AweSync 2.0.0.3 (Apr 2, 2010)

  • We fixed "Value cannot be null", "Object reference not set" and know instances of "Notes Document cannot be parsed" errors.

New in AweSync 2.0.0.1 (Apr 2, 2010)

  • Fixed with time zone errors
  • Fixed the bug "Could not load file or assembly Interop.Domino8" on 64-bit operating systems
  • Fixed some instances of the errors "Notes Document cannot be parsed"

New in AweSync 2.0.0.0 (Apr 2, 2010)

  • Full support of repeated events with exceptions;
  • Configuration Wizard
  • An option is added to change if the Google Calendar name should be stored in Lotus Notes Calendar entry Category field. Might be useful for those, who use categories in Lotus Notes Calendar intensively, and don’t want to mess it up with stuff coming from Google Calendar.
  • Support of synchronization with Google Calendars to which there is no write access (for example, shared by other users).
  • Google Apps Calendar support is added.
  • Support of public and private flags synchronization.
  • Configuration for double-clicking tray icon is added to either show/hide application window, or start/stop synchronization.
  • A log of calendar entries changes is added, where more detailed information about synchronized entries can be found (View Changed Documents link below the Synchronization Log).
  • Support of synchronization between Invitees Required field in Lotus Notes Meeting and Guests field in Google calendar event. Internet addresses of corresponding Lotus Notes user is placed in Google calendar event.
  • Google Calendar event field Where is now synchronized with Lotus Notes Calendar entry Location field, including 2 way. Values of reservation fields from Lotus Notes Calendar entry are added to Google Calendar event Where field in format [Rooms: RoomName] [Resources: ResourceName].
  • Google SMS notifications are now supported. You can enable AweSync option to map Lotus Notes Notify Me options into Google SMS notification, if it’s enabled in your Google Calendar.
  • Now it’s possible to cancel the synchronization at any time.
  • Made some improvements in handling Lotus Notes and Google data, which previously could cause some errors, as well as fixed a lot of other bugs.
  • It is now possible to run few instances of different installations of AweSync which makes it possible to use them in terminal server environment.
