New and Changed Features

The new features and feature enhancements in this release of Calendar Server are:

- Database Schema Upgrade Improvements

- New Configuration Parameters

- Support for MySQL Server 5.6

- Support for Oracle Database 12c

- Changes in Browser Servlet Behavior

Database Schema Upgrade Improvements

To increase database upgrade functionality and flexibility, Calendar Server 7.0.5 provides the davadmin db schema_fullupgrade and davadmin db schema_preupgrade commands. You use the schema_fullupgrade command to upgrade multiple back-end databases in parallel instead of one at a time, as happens during the normal Calendar Server upgrade process. You use the schema_preupgrade command to perform online database DDL changes, as well as a partial offline upgrade, as long as the release contains database schema updates. (Not all releases update the database schema, so schema_preupgrade might not apply.)

For more information about these commands, see the topic on upgrading database schema in the "Upgrading Calendar Server" chapter of Calendar Server Installation and Configuration Guide.

New Configuration Parameters

Calendar Server 7.0.5 adds the following configuration parameters:

- base.ldapinfo.authldap.sslprotocols

- base.ldapinfo.ugldap.sslprotocols

- davcore.serverdefaults.sslprotocols

- base.ldappool.*.sslprotocols

- davcore.serverdefaults.sslprotocols

These configuration parameters specify a list of the supported SSL protocols (TLSv1, TLSv1.1, and TLSv1.2) to communicate with the back-end services.

The davadmin command-line utility also contains a new sslprotocols configuration parameter in the davadmin.properties file, which is set to "TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2" upon installation and configuration. Similarly, a new configuration parameter, store.sslprotocols, is added to the document store ashttpd.properties file. If the option is missing from the file, it receives "TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2" as the default value.

For more information, see the topic on configuration parameters in Calendar Server System Administrator's Guide.

Support for MySQL Server 5.6

Calendar Server 7.0.5 supports MySQL Server 5.6 as the back-end database.

Support for Oracle Database 12c

Calendar Server 7.0.5 supports Oracle Database 12c as the back-end database.

Changes in Browser Servlet Behavior

Starting in Calendar Server 7.0.5, changes have been made to the browser servlet you can use to view an account's properties stored in collections and resources. The delete and file import features, and error stack traces, are enabled only when the logging level is set at FINE or lower. To specify the logging level, use the log.dav.errors.loglevel configuration parameter. For more information, see the topic on the browser servlet in Calendar Server System Administrator's Guide.

Known Problems

This section lists the known problems in this release of Calendar Server.

Calendar Deletion Problem on iOS 8

SR number: NA

Bug number: NA

If you create a calendar by using Convergence, then try to delete the calendar by using an iOS 8 device, the calendar is not removed from the Calendar Server database. If you create and delete the calendar from iOS 8, it is removed from the Calendar Server database.

This problem happens because Convergence creates calendars with both VEVENT and VTODO as supported components. The VTODO component tells the iOS Calendar app that other VTODO applications can use the calendar, and so the iOS Calendar app does not delete it.

Calendar Server Initial Configuration Fails on Java 6

SR number: NA

Bug number: 18599723

Starting with Calendar Server 7.0.4.15.0, support for Java 6 is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Calendar Server 7.0.4.15.0 and greater is supported on Java 7.

Starting with Calendar Server 7.0.5, documentation is now made available on the Oracle Help Center website instead of the Oracle Wikis website.
