Given the fact that 3 years passed prior to this change, that the KDE community had to create a fork of libkolab, and that openSUSE dropped the package due to lack of upstream maintenance, there is no point in keeping this task open.

Because jsTimezoneDetect is not very active project I decided to add a workaround on PHP side. Fixed in https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/commit/36485dfc345ad724f08eaa7ea30c3cc88e48a00d.

Copenhagen is, in principle, available. The reason for the parent ticket to exist has largely been obsoleted. This sub-ticket, and its sub-tickets, can therefore be closed.

I have filed now a bug at the jstz library, because I guess that would be the cleanest solution.
If that ignores Etc timezones coming from the internationalization API from the browser, then it calculates a proper Olson timezone.

It does not depend on Windows Server version.
It does not depend on Firefox version either.

I got more details: the client is Firefox 56 running on Windows Server 2012 R2. The timezone setting for the user in Roundcube is "auto".

Done.

The attach property is indeed optional, but libkolabxml doesn't treat it as optional property.

This will need to be packaged and tested in a setup where this actually happens.

A patch has been added to libkolab 0.6.3 and libkolab 0.7 (which has never been released apparently).

I was not able to catch this debug information in PHP, I'm not sure it's possible/simple in python. So, my preferred solution would be to fix libkolab/libcalendaring. In my opinion it would be reasonable to get rid of it on packaging level.

D127 together with D123 are fixing unit tests. Now the output is:

Hmm... I'm not so sure. According to RFC5545 it is not valid.

Oops. It looks that "P" is valid. I'll look for the issue in other places.

A DateTime class needs to be introduced to replace the date-only functionality provided by KDateTime that is no longer available in QDateTime

The following usecases are currently covered by libkolab:

• Interpretation and expansion of recurrences
• Detection of conflicts in event-sets
• Retrieval of current system-time
• Attendee/Delegation-helpers for events
• iTip/iMip reading/writing
• iCalendar reading/writing
• Conversion between kolab and KDE Containers
• Generating/aggregating and serializing freebusy
• Definitions such as types, used in the kolab MIME-message format and IMAP annotations.
• Reading/writing of kolab objects to/from V3 MIME-messages
• Reading/writing of kolab objects to/from V3 XML
• Reading/writing of kolab objects to/from V2 MIME-messages
• Reading/writing of kolab objects to/from V2 XML
