@@ -23,10 +23,17 @@ This project should adhere to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0
* `caldav.config.extract_conn_params_from_section` is now public API (renamed from `_extract_conn_params_from_section`), so that downstream tools like plann can map plann-style config sections (`caldav_url`, `caldav_user`, `features`, etc.) to `DAVClient` parameters without duplicating the logic.
* New compatibility feature `create-calendar.stable-url` (default `full`): whether a calendar, once created, remains addressable at the URL derived from the requested `cal_id`. Some servers assign a different *canonical* URL: Zimbra relocates the collection to a display-name-derived path when a display name is set (a collection alias lingers at the `cal_id` and answers `PROPFIND`/`REPORT`, but a `GET` on a child object under it 404s, so the `cal_id` is not a usable address); OX always exposes an opaque `cal://0/NNN` (base64-segment) canonical URL. Both are marked `create-calendar.stable-url: unsupported`. For such servers `Calendar._create()` now discovers and adopts the canonical URL after creation (re-pointing `self.url`) instead of dropping the display name, so the calendar keeps its name *and* every later URL-based operation resolves — identical handling for Zimbra and OX.
* `caldav[niquests]` is now a valid install target. It changes nothing today - `niquests` is still an ordinary dependency - but v4.0 is planned to ship without a default HTTP library dependency, and `caldav[niquests]` is how the current behaviour will be kept. Downstream projects can depend on it now and not have to change anything at that point. See https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/issues/611
+* `non-existing-raises-not-found` is now a grouping node with two sibling subfeatures, `non-existing-raises-not-found.object` and `.collection` (both default `full`): what a lookup of a non-existing calendar *object* raises, and what a lookup of a non-existing *calendar* raises. Neither can be derived from the other, so neither is the other's parent. Robur answers 403 for everything that does not exist, objects included, but `CalendarObjectResource.load()` retries a failed GET as a calendar-multiget REPORT against the existing parent calendar, where Robur reports the missing href with an inner 404 — so an object lookup still ends in `NotFoundError` while a calendar lookup surfaces `AuthorizationError`. Robur's profile declares exactly that: `quirk` on the object level, with the rescue spelled out in `behaviour`, and `unsupported` on the collection. An existing config naming the old `non-existing-raises-not-found` still works and now claims both.
+* New compatibility feature `url.encode-at`, with three subfeatures: `url.encode-at.identity` (the server treats `@` and `%40` as two resources — the RFC3986-conformant reading, §2.2), `url.encode-at.literal` (a literal `@` resolves) and `url.encode-at.encoded` (`%40` resolves). Each is one thing a probe can observe on its own, and the client reads only these — the grouping parent's support level decides nothing. **Nothing changes for a server you have not configured this for**: `.identity` defaults to `unsupported`, and where the two spellings name one resource the spelling carries no information, so every path is normalised exactly as it always was and an `@` in a UID still becomes `%40`. Declaring `url.encode-at.identity: full` makes the spelling part of the resource name, and then the client stops normalising it anywhere: an href keeps the spelling the server sent, and the ownCloud calendar-home-set workaround (which has percent-encoded a relative home-set containing an `@` since 2021) switches off — unless `url.encode-at.literal` says the literal spelling is the one that server will not serve, which is the case that workaround was written for. `url.encode-at.encoded: unsupported` is the only thing that changes which spelling the client *mints*. The 3.x default is deliberately the non-conformant one: defaulting to conformance would change URL identity under every user of an unprobed server. It is also the accurate reading — of the twelve test servers, every one that resolved both spellings served them as one. 4.0 should flip it round. `caldav-server-tester` probes all three. Not covered here: a server that stores under one spelling and reports back another, which belongs to `save-load.stable-url`.
+* New `multiget_fallback` parameter on `CalendarObjectResource.load()` (default `True` - unchanged behaviour). When a GET on the object URL fails, `load()` retries it as a calendar-multiget REPORT against the parent collection. That rescue is what makes servers that do not serve objects over GET usable at all, but it also hides what the server said: a server answering 403 rather than 404 for something non-existing (Robur) still ends up raising `NotFoundError`. Pass `False` to get the server's own answer instead - `caldav-server-tester` uses it to tell a server that really answers 404 (`non-existing-raises-not-found: full`) from one that is only rescued into it (`quirk`).
* New `compatibility_workarounds` parameter on `Calendar.search()` / `CalDAVSearcher.search()` / `async_search()`. When `False`, all server-compatibility workarounds are disabled and the query is sent verbatim (a single REPORT, no comp-type splitting, no filter rewriting, no fallback retries). Mainly for the server-compatibility checker, to observe raw server behaviour.
### Fixed
+* `collection.py`: the ownCloud `@`-quoting heuristic for a relative `calendar-home-set` lived in three copies — `Principal.calendar_home_set`, its async twin, and `_sanitize_calendar_home_set_url()` used by the PROPFIND extractor — and they had drifted: only the extractor's copy skipped a URL that already contains `%40`, so a home-set the server delivered part-encoded went through `quote()` a second time and came back with `%2540`. All three are now the one helper.
+* `async_davclient.py` `AsyncDAVClient.propfind()`: a raw XML body passed as `props` - which the sync `DAVClient.propfind()` accepts, and which the async integration test used - was treated as a list of property names and iterated character by character, so the request sent to the server was an empty `` PROPFIND. Most servers answer that with a (useless but well-formed) multistatus, hiding the bug; Robur answers with an empty body. `props` now rejects a string with a `TypeError` naming `body`, which is where a raw request belongs; the async client has had a dedicated `body` parameter from the start, so rather than inherit the sync client's legacy shape it refuses the mistake outright. The async integration test passes `body=` accordingly.
+* `compatibility_hints.py`: the Zimbra and CCS profiles drop their stale `search.recurrences.expanded.todo: unsupported` declarations (both observed `full`, 2026-08-26). The declarations dated from when the server-tester searched the *event* calendar for the recurring todo, so any server keeping tasks in a collection of their own could only ever come out `unsupported`.
+* `compatibility_hints.py`: the Robur profile is refreshed against the live server (2026-08-24). `delete-calendar` (declared `unsupported`), `non-existing-raises-not-found` (declared `unsupported`, a leftover from the old `non_existing_raises_other` flag that was never re-probed) and `search.comp-type.optional` (declared `ungraceful`) are all observed as `full` and are dropped from the profile. The stale `delete-calendar` entry made `Calendar.delete()` silently degrade to `delete(wipe=True)`, so nothing ever removed a calendar from a Robur account.
* A response body that contains no iCalendar at all - an empty object, an HTML error page delivered with a 200, a notification carrying only headers - now raises `caldav.lib.error.ResponseError` naming the URL and quoting what arrived, instead of `ValueError: Found no components where exactly one is required` from inside the icalendar library. Data that does contain an iCalendar component is unaffected and still parsed by icalendar as before.
* The source distribution no longer ships stray local files. hatchling's VCS-ignore support only honours the *root* `.gitignore`, so files hidden from `git status` by a nested `.gitignore` or by the packager's global git ignore file were invisible locally and packaged anyway — `caldav-3.2.1.tar.gz` contains `.claude/settings.json` and 1755 files under `venv/`, and the current tree would have added 443 files under `.prompts/`. A new `package` tox environment (run in CI, and now part of the release procedure) builds both artifacts and fails if anything git does not track turns up in them.
* Looking up a calendar or object that does not exist now raises `NotFoundError` also when the server reports the 404 inside a `207 Multi-Status` (a bare `` on the `` element, which RFC 4918 §14.24 allows) rather than as a plain HTTP 404. Previously the property lookup found no `propstat` elements, ignored the 404, and returned `None` for every requested property — so e.g. `calendar.get_display_name()` on a non-existent calendar silently returned `None` while `calendar.get_events()` on the same calendar raised. Observed against Xandikos.

+(``url.encode-at.identity``), whether the literal ``@`` resolves
+(``.literal``), and whether ``%40`` resolves (``.encoded``).

+spelling carries no information, so the client normalises paths exactly as it
+always has. Only a server declared conformant makes the spelling part of the
+name, and only there does the client start preserving it.
+
+The first class below is the important one - it asserts, expression by
+expression, that a server nobody has probed sees byte-for-byte what it saw
+before this feature existed. That is what makes the feature safe to ship
+against the ~40 profiles nobody is going to re-probe.
