Cosmo 0.8

Tenets

Interoperability

Our goal is to interoperate (to the best of our ability to test) with iCal3 and other CalDAV clients.

UI (and other) bug fixes

We will continue to fix usability blocking bugs in the UI.

Features

WebDAV Class 3

RFC 4918 updates the original WebDAV specification (RFC 2581) with revisions based on interoperability experience gained from developing a number of clients and servers.

Cosmo 0.8 will implement the majority of WebDAV class 1 (RFC 2581, minus the locking features) and class 3 (the RFC 4918 revisions). The most notable changes will revolve around enhanced XML processing (storing and returning mixed XML content in property values, ignoring unknown XML elements in request bodies, and returning precondition codes for failure responses), but there are many smaller issues of compliance with different parts of the spec.

CosmoWebdav more fully describes Cosmo 0.8's support for WebDAV. Testers can assume that anything from RFC 4918 that is not addressed in those notes is supported in Cosmo as per spec.

CalDAV

RFC 4791 is the final CalDAV specification. Older versions of Cosmo had only implemented parts of the spec based on earlier drafts.

Cosmo 0.8 will implement most of the full CalDAV spec. Updates include XML processing changes as per WebDAV, returning weak ETags in PUT responses for calendar resources, and support for collations. Additionally, Cosmo will support the VTODO, VJOURNAL, VFREEBUSY and VAVAILABILITY iCalendar components in calendar collections as well as VEVENT.

CosmoCaldav provides a complete description of Cosmo 0.8's CalDAV implementation. Testers can assume that anything from RFC 4791 that is not addressed in those notes is supported in Cosmo as per spec.

WebDAV Access Control

RFC 3744 defines access control extensions to WebDAV. Support for these extensions is required by CalDAV. Older versions of Cosmo had implemented some parts of the specification dealing with principal resources.

Cosmo 0.8 will implement many of the remaining parts of the spec, including most resource properties and reports relevant to user principals. Cosmo 0.8 will not support group principals, and it will not support the properties, methods and reports that allow clients to get and set ACLs on resources. Cosmo has a static access control model where ACLs are created only when a user account, ticket or resource is created, never modified, and deleted only when a user account, ticket or resource is deleted.
