The Changes
This is not a comprehensive list of the changes (since 1.3beta) but highlights the main points:
- Multilingual backend (currently only available in English and German - see Translation Guidance below)
- Enhanced user interface
- Optional Iconic navigation
- Better information in popup messages in calendar - this is also highly customisable
- Clearer information when viewing event detail
- Highly configurable navigation buttons for mini calendar module
- Monthly calendars can now be printed without the whole page being visible
- Summary information about event categories can now be shown via the event legend module - by clicking a category name you can easily restrict the events shown in a calendar to a specific category
- Easier Administration
- Old events can be archived
- Old events can be hidden/shown in the list of events

- Links can be created within event descriptions (via the new event report mambot) - this allows you to create a link to an event report, photo album etc. This link is not shown until a specific date.
- Major performance improvements - we estimate the monthly calendar now takes about 60% less time to load!
- Most email addresses are now 'cloaked' to reduce the risk of SPAM
