[Users] [Bug 107583] 8.7.2 calendar month view broken for multiple day spanning events

Mon Feb 6 17:01:38 CET 2017

What worries me more, is that bug 107583 is quite obvious, 
add a multi day appointment in Calendar, check the month view and then it is hard to miss. 

If I was coding on functions like ZmApptList._fanout, and was `optimizing` and dealing with dates, 
I would have tested and seen this. So it feels like a developer is at work who is not testing his own 
code, and then no-body else does. 

Or some versioning fail, where wrong versions are merged and released. 

I do not know what is worse, but this worries me, as this is `only` the calendar. 
But what other components get the same treatment? 

Also, if no-one sees a license block change, that is everywhere, maybe no-one is looking?

How could the license block regress like that? 

How do we know other code checkins did not regress in 8.7.2?

Hello All, 

I released a `patch` for the broken calendar in 8.7.2. Basically copy-paste the calendarCore 
back from 8.7.1. 

https://github.com/Zimbra-Community/zimbra-patches#872-calendar-breaks-month-view 

It seems in 8.7.2 only some optimizations where done (that break the calendar), and some 
warnings where added to warn people putting appointment dates in the past. I do not see 
a security related patch in calendarCore in 8.7.2. 

I also noted Zimbra shipped 8.7.2 with an outdated license block: 
On 8.7.2 it says: 
* Zimbra Collaboration Suite Web Client 
* Copyright (C) 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 Zimbra, Inc. 

On 8.7.1 it said: 
* Zimbra Collaboration Suite Web Client 
* Copyright (C) 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 Synacor, Inc. 

Its a bit embarrassing. 

Regards, Barry

Hello All, 

I am forwarding this bug to the users dl, as I think it is a pretty severe bug. 
That would justify an out-of-band patch from Zimbra. 

In the mean time, there are not that many options, as 8.7.2 contains security patches, 
so if you are on 8.7.1 you can choose between security or a working calendar. 

If you are on 8.6, you have the option to install the security patch 8 in beta... 
but at least your calendar works. 

Also the end of general support for 8.6 is coming this year: 
https://www.zimbra.com/support/support-offerings/product-lifecycle/ 

Seeing that related calendar bugs in 8.7 have not been fixed in 8.7.1 and 8.7.2 
I am getting a bit worried about the calendar feature in Zimbra ATM. 

Barry
