- Evolution is still beta software, so the bug tracking is best
- left to the bugzilla system and to the programmers. However,
- there are a number of limitations that will not be addressed
- before version 1.0. The most notable are: Import of Microsoft
- Outlook .pst files, and compatibility with the Microsoft
- Exchange protocol.
+ A number of popular features will not make it into Ximian
+ Evolution 1.0, but we plan to include them for version 1.1.
