Re: [Evolution-hackers] bugs?

So I went through and added support for a few missing fields from the
backend card sexp stuff (including video url, categories, a few others
that were missing.)

So CATEGORY searching should now work, but I'd suggest using
CATEGORY_LIST instead of CATEGORY.  Using CATEGORY will compare against
the full text of the list of categories, while CATEGORY_LIST compares
against the individual categories.  So if you have a contact with the
CATEGORY set to "Business,Birthday", it'll have 2 list entries in
CATEGORY_LIST.  You can do certain queries (like "beginswith",
"endswith", "is") reliably only with CATEGORY_LIST.

Pretty much if the function has "peek" in it, you don't get back
something that you should free.  If it has "get" in the name, generally
you do, although there are many exceptions to that rule.
