New features in this version:
-fixed a few bugs relating to multiple calendars

Announcing the release of Cake Calendar, Beta Version 0.3! We've fixed a bunch of bugs and we've added several new features. Here's a summary of what has changed:

-New shortcut keys! For example, CTRL+S will now save your calendar
-PDF generation. It's possible to make a basic PDF file of your calendar. It's a rather simplistic overview, but a better version is being thought out now.
-A few bugs in the week view were fixed, where if you were at the end of December and tried to look at events in January of next year it would act weird.
-Fixed a bug where the user could improperly delete events
-Made the text in MonthView smaller; now depends on your screen resolution
-Added the ability to load .ics calendar files.
-Fixed a few bugs with recurring events; I can't remember the specifics.
-Other code cleanups... read more

Hey all,
Cake Calendar Beta Version 0.2 has just been released. This is mostly a bugfix release, but we've added in a few new features as well. For example, there is now a way to directly send us feedback so that we can get your thoughts and ideas on the future of Cake Calendar. Also, we've included a new 'Program Settings' feature, to allow you to customize the calendar to how you would like it. Currently, it only allows the option to minimize to tray, but we've got a few new features for that planned. Tell us what you think!

Time for an update to the Cake Calendar!

I've been working on the newest version, which aims to fix a few shortfalls in the current version. Most noteably, loading times have been much increased from the current release, and are back to about as fast as they were for the first release. This isn't really noticeable unless you have a few hundred events spread out over a few months though, so I highly doubt that any of you will notice a large difference. The other most noteably feature is the ability to e-mail me with bug reports and suggestions, which should help address unforseen consequences. The remaining changes so far are general code-cleanup fixes, nothing too major. I was experimenting with threading earlier, to allow months to load faster when you have a large number of events, but ironically that simply slowed down the process to a crawl. I've also been thinking about new features that could be added, building on a few things that I have encountered at work. The first of these ideas would be to allow users to generate .pdf files of their day/week/month, so that it could then be printed out. Another possibility that I was thinking of would be the ability to connect to an SQL server, so taht users could save their calendars on a server, and be able to add events to other people's calendars(similar to how Microsoft Outlook works). Any thoughts on these ideas?... read more
