Release Notes

The last release modernized the build system. This release focuses on the actual calendar code. It's a complete rewrite of the calendar logic. It should be a bit faster and much easier to maintain as it uses more built in Java functionality instead of manually calculating it.

On impacting change / improvement is that Cal now attempts to determine the width of your terminal session and size the calendar appropriately. It defaults to 3 calendars wide if it can't determine the width. If you prefer a set value, please use the -n # switch.

By way of example, my terminal is 127 characters wide. Cal, by default, now puts two rows of 5 calendars and then two on the third row. I like that it more wisely uses the space, but I personally prefer a 4x4 grid with holidays being displayed so I have the following alias:

alias cal=c:\utils\cal.jar -n 4 -d

With that exception, the functionality itself has not changed. If everything was done correctly, you won't notice any differences.

If you have issues, please let me know at cal@fross.org
