Releases since 0.9.7.6 have not been widely distributed because the
software is in a transition to a new permissions model. There's some
information here:
http://wiki.davical.org/w/Permissions Though I'm sure the documentation could be better, and anyone who wants
to write a more user-oriented page with images and so forth included is
welcome to assist :-)
In the meantime, I am moving the principal & collection editing
functions to some new screens but as of 0.9.8.1 not all functionality is
available in those new screens and so the old ones are still hanging
around and confusing people.

At present you have to do this through the old screens. I've just added
this (and the other missing parts) into the new screens over the last
few days, and hope to put out 0.9.8.2 very soon with the old screens
removed.
I expect that 0.9.8.2 will be suitable for a wider release. 0.9.8 was
only made available very narrowly. 0.9.8.1 was made more public, but
still was not (e.g.) uploaded to Debian. I intend to upload 0.9.8.2 to
Debian, publicise it on freshmeat, and so forth.

The commonest problem seems to be overriding the default privileges at
the collection level. I recommend removing all privileges from the
collection level, so that the principal level grants apply, with the
following SQL (run this in psql):
UPDATE collection SET default_privileges = NULL;
From 0.9.8.2 it will be a lot clearer what is happening with these
privileges when editing the collection, and it will be possible to
restore this state.
I have also heard reports that DAViCal is no longer working with
PostgreSQL 8.1, but have not received sufficient information from anyone
to actually be able to know what the problem is.
If the UPDATE statement above does not resolve your problem, then I'll
need more information to be able to help properly - including the
versions of your operating system, Sunbird, iCal, PHP, PostgreSQL,
DAViCal and AWL in *any* problem report really helps a lot.
Regards,
Andrew.
