i am using kolab-2.1 with horde-webmail-1.1rc1 (kronolith 2.2-rc1).

this is an example for a systematic error:

try to create an event, starting on the 28th of july (11am-12am), define
recurrence: daily (every day) and let it end (by date) on the 3rd of
august.

this action results in the following kolab-xml file (:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<event version="1.0">
  <uid>97dbb9068aefb060e4d19e1034b527ea</uid>
  <body></body>
  <categories></categories>

  <recurrence cycle="daily">
    <interval>1</interval>
    <range type="date">2008-08-01</range>
  </recurrence>
  <show-time-as>busy</show-time-as>
  <end-date>2008-07-29T11:00:00Z</end-date>
</event>

i think, the recurrence should rather look like this:

  <recurrence cycle="daily">
    <interval>1</interval>
    <range type="date">2008-08-03</range>
  </recurrence>

something similar happens on weekly recurrences: the last recurrence of an
event is often left out, only the last-but-one event is displayed in the
calendar / stored in the xml-file.

any ideas?
