I do believe Guillaume is referring to this:

    Works well with others.
     iCal Server uses open calendaring protocols for integrating with  
leading
     calendar programs, including iCal 3 in Leopard, Mozilla's  
Sunbird, OSAF's
     Chandler, and Microsoft Outlook using an open source connector.  
These
     open standard protocols include CalDAV - a set of extensions to  
WebDAV
      - and interchange formats such as iCalendar, iMIP, and iTIP.

That could almost be considered an announcement.
