I’ve been receiving many e-mails and 1 star reviews lately related to support for Thunderbird 60 and 68. As you may know, Firefox completely removed “legacy” add-on support and transitioned to WebExtensions. Once this support was gone, they started making changes that previously would’ve been incompatible with add-ons. Since Thunderbird Read more…
I released version 2.0.0 beta 1 today to the beta channel. The major change in version 2.0 is switching to OAuth2 for authentication because Google deprecated the ClientLogin method that previous versions of gContactSync used (it will no longer be supported in April 2015). You can download it here. Just Read more…
After a few years of development version 1.0.0 has been released. I previously referred to this release as 0.4.0 but after reading many comments and even blog posts that mentioned the low version number was a sign that gContactSync isn’t stable I decided to bump the version up to 1.0. Read more…

I haven’t heard from any of these people–please send me an e-mail at least explaining any problems you may have instead of just posting a review without enough details for me to help you. Feel free Read more…
Just thought I ought to give a progress update since I’ve been quiet for a while now… I have just graduated from Michigan Tech with a BS in Computer Engineering (a mix of Computer Science [software] and Electrical Engineering [hardware]) and I start working full-time on May 16th as a Read more…
I’ve just released the first beta version of 0.3.0. I feel it is ready to be in a beta as there are no known bugs other than some quirks with postal addresses in Google’s API. For now postal address synchronization is disabled by default, but you can enable it in Read more…
Brief version history for gContactSync 0.2 and a basic description of 0.3 (in development)
