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
    • More intuitive layout of event creation/editing pages
    • Frontend event creation/editing now uses the same interface as the backend
  • Menu items can now be created to calendars for specific categories (or a number of categories)
  • 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
  • Better layout on Safari and Konquerer browsers
  • Better XHMTL compliance
  • Year view can now show event repeats if configured appropriately
  • Introduce the concept of all-day or unspecified time events
