Open Source development sometimes emerges faster than you can print a magazine. Shortly after issue #32 went to print, the KitchenSync developers informed us that a new version superseeding the download link [3] in the Info box on page 25 has been made available: http://www.handhelds.org/~zecke/kitchensync-0.0.6.tar.gz.

It includes a lot of bugfixes, e.g.

fixes the assert bug people saw while starting
better handling of addressbook attributes and integration into KAddressbook
now handles multiple email addresses (patch by Mathias Fröhlich)
fixes the Categories bug (Some categories were duplicated inside the XML leading to huge upload times)

In the meantime, OPIE developers have been addressing the problem of non-compiling code in the CVS (see "OPIE latest" textbox on page 34). There is now a new branch OPIE_BRANCH_0_99 which those interested in compiling OPIE from CVS are asked to use:

cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.handhelds.org:/cvs co -r OPIE_BRANCH_0_99 opie
export OPIEDIR=/path/to/opie
cd $OPIEDIR
cp opie-release-1.0.config .config
make oldconfig
make

Says OPIE developer Carsten Niehaus: "At the time being, only this part of the CVS is under active development. We're working hard to make it compile throughout, and translation work is done in this branch exclusively."
