[Opensync-devel] FYI - Preparing new libwbxml release

[Michael B. <mic...@cm...>]

Hi,

FYI - I preparing a new libwbxml release because of a bug in the SyncML
specification.

Several times in the past I had problems with the correct transport of
vCards. vCards require CRLF as line break. XML processors normalize all
line breaks to LFs.

The SyncML authors did ignore this fact and store raw (not base64
encoded) vCards in XML files. If a normal XML processor like expat or
libxml reads such a file then all CRLFs are gone. So libwbxml has no
chance to only parse SyncML messages in XML format with a normal XML
processor.

The implemented workaround checks for Data elements with vFormat objects
and replaces all included LFs with CRLFs. This behaviour is hard coded
in libwbxml.

Some weeks ago the first user of libwbxml opened a ticket for this
issue. So a solution is required. Additionally I cannot write changes to
my OCS without this patch.

Minor: Additionally a copyright issue with the OMA DM tests was fixed.

Best regards

Michael
