I believe that most usages that +can lead to data loss have been properly addressed. By tagging this beta, I +expect to gather from feedback from usage by others. + +As always, please do back up your data, especially during the initial +configuration. + +## Documentation + +The biggest flaw right now is a strong lack of documentation. A [migration +guide] is still available for users of v1, but nothing else. I understand that +the lack of documentation is the main hindrance for adoption, even for early +testers, so documentation will be my main focus in the upcoming weeks and the +main target for the next beta. + +[migration guide]: + https://git.sr.ht/~whynothugo/vdirsyncer-rs/tree/v2.0.0-beta0/item/docs/content/docs/migration-guide.md + +# Installation + +The current beta needs to be built from source. + +```sh +curl -LO https://git.sr.ht/~whynothugo/vdirsyncer-rs/archive/v2.0.0-beta0.tar.gz +tar xf v2.0.0-beta0.tar.gz +cd vdirsyncer-rs-v2.0.0-beta0/ +make +doas make install +``` + +# Thanks + +I'd like to extend my deep appreciation to NLnet for the grant we have received +that enabled my to work on vdirsyncer for so many hours.
