Hi there,

please allow an updated package for evolution-data-server into jessie.

This packages contains (a) a new upstream stable point release
containing some bug fixes and translation updates and (b) a new patch
backported from the 3.16 upstream releases that fixes a silent data
loss for mails sent with attachments [1]. Although the latter issue is
considered really severe [2], upstream has decided not to release any
further updates to the 3.12 series than 3.12.11, which does not
include this patch, though. So, I think the best we can do now is
update the package to the latest stable release and backport further
patches as needed, depending on the severity of the issues.

The patch is already included in the e-d-s 3.16 series and is thus in
testing for quite some time. I can confirm that (a) the patch fixes
this issue for the package in stable and (b) the 3.16 package in
testing is already unaffected.

Thank you very much for digging through this debdiff. ;)

Best regards,

Fabian
