  • Project Officially Discontinued

    I am sad and yet pleased to announce that officially, the ACal Project is dead, discontinued, null.

    There is only one reason for it which can be summed up in one word, which is lack. Lack of time, motivation, effort, need, etc.

    The code is open for anyone to take, use, and even continue. The latest code in the SVN repository is in the public domain.

    For more information, contact me. artooro.

  • ACal 2.2.6 Released

    ACal 2.2.6 has been released. This update fixes two security holes reported by Aliaksandr Hartsuyeu.

    I was going to wait for the 4.0 release bug decided to patch the 2.2.x series instead to suffice until 4.0 is ready for release.

  • Security Advisory for ACal 2.x

    There is a critical security bug in ACal 2.2.5 as described in http://secunia.com/advisories/18432

    As developer I've known about this for some time but never had the urge to fix it.
    For now I advise you to either use the solution Secunia provides, wait for ACal 4.0 Alpha 1, or use the current ACal 3.x release.

  • ACal 3.0 Alpha 3 Released

    We have released ACal 3.0 alpha 3. There shouldn't be many bugs in this release but some areas are still incomplete. A new Mac OS X installer is available which allows you to install the calendar on OS X by simply going through an installer. It includes PHP 5 which is installed automatically if needed. There are many bug fixes in this release and event notifications have been worked on.

    We really need your help to test this release, especially on Windows servers. Event notifications (alarms) needs testing on Windows to make sure it works.

    Alarms can now be sent to groups, users, and email addresses. This is a feature normally only found in desktop calendar applications.

    This should be the last alpha release. The next one will be a beta.

  • ACal 3.0 Alpha 2 Released

    ACal 3.0 Alpha 2 has been released. This release is based on timing more than anything else. There are three bugs I know of at the top of my head. Other things are still incomplete and the web interface requires Firefox (Gecko) or WebCore (Safari). Major new features include Users and Groups, Time zone support, localization, and configuration.

    There are of course many bug fixes as well but another new thing is the introduction of a new Mac OS X installer package. This package will install the calendar and automatically install PHP 5 as well if needed. Of course you can choose to disable it.
    We can expect the first beta release in another month.
