Today we released fruux v0.7.1, besides several iCal syncing related bugfixes this version includes a french localization, which was generously donated from linathael over at HardMac.com/MacBidouille.com (Thank you, linathael!).

We are also working hard on our main site at fruux.com. It’s still work in progress, but you’ll find our changelog and also our roadmap there.

Please always remember, that fruux is still in beta.
Backup your data:

• Addressbook: File -> Export -> Addressbook Archive
• iCal: File -> Backup iCal…

If you are affected by any bugs, please let us know (support @ fruux . com). We are pretty responsive and will do our best to get any bugs you might experience resolved as fast as possible.

Can’t wait for the new version? Here are the update instructions:

• Start “System Preferences”
• Start “fruux”
• Click “Synchronize Now”
• If you don’t already have v0.7.1 installed, the “New version availiable” message will appear

Although we are a bit late, we are pleased to announce fruux 0.6. This version still contains no iCal syncing (sorry for that), but we changed a ton of internal stuff, that allows us to include new features in the next version, give you even better performance and reliability as well.
