v0.7.1

This is a bugfix release that fixes a critical bug in khal import. This is a backport of the fix that got released with v0.8.4, for those users than cannot (or really don't want to) upgrade to a more recent version of khal (most likely because of the dropped support for python 2). Please note, that khal v0.7.x is generally not maintained anymore, will not receive any new features, and any non-critical bugs will not be fixed either.

v0.8.4

IMPORTANT BUGFIX fixed a bug that lead to imported events being erroneously shifted if they had a timezone identifier that wasn't an Olson database identifier. All users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible. To see if you are affected by this and how to resolve any issues, please see the release announcement (khal/doc/source/news/khal084.rst or http://lostpackets.de/khal/news/khal084.html). Thanks to Wayne Werner for finding and reporting this bug.

v0.8.3

  and crashes (Christian Geier)

• in khal new treat 24:00 as the end of a day/00:00 of the next (Christian Geier)
• new allowed value for a calendar's color: auto (also the new default), if
  set, khal will try to read a file called color from that calendar's vdir (see
  vdirsyncer's documentation on metasync). If that file is not present or its
  contents is not understood, the default color will be used (Christian Geier)
• new allowed value for calendar's type: discover, if set, khal will
  (recursively) search that calendar's path for valid vdirs and add those to
  the configured calendars (Christian Geier)
• new command configure which should help new users set up a configuration
  file (Christian Geier)
• warn user when parsing broken icalendar files, this requires icalendar > 3.9.2
  (Christian Geier)

  tty, this behaviour can be overwritten with the new options --color/ --no-color
  (Markus Unterwaditzer)

  (or the week containing the given date) are shown (Stephan Weller)

  widget, arrow keys can be used to select a date, enter (or escape) will close
  it again (Christian Geier)

  keybinding o (as in Other) (Christian Geier)

  (shift tab) (Christian Geier)

v0.7.0

released on 2015-11-24

There are no new or dropped dependencies.

• most of the internal representation of events was rewritten, the current
  benefit is that floating events are properly represented now, hopefully more
  is to come (Christian Geier)
• printformats uses a more sensible date now (John Shea)
• khal and ikhal can now highlight dates with events, at the moment, enabling it
  does noticably slow down (i)khal's start; set [default] highlight_event_days
  = True and see section [highlight_days] for further configuration (Dominik
  Joe Pantůček)
• fixed line wrapping for at (Thomas Schape)
• calendar and agenda optionally print location and description of all
  events, enable with the new --full/-f flag (Thomas Schaper)

• FIX: deleting events did not always work if an event with the same filename existed
  in an other calendar (but no data lost incurred) (Christian Geier)

ikhal

• events are now displayed nicer (Thomas Glanzmann)
• support for colorschemes, a light and dark one are currently included,
  help is wanted to make them prettier and more functional (config option
  [view] theme: (dark|light)) (Christian Geier)
• ikhal can now display frames around some user interface elements, making it
  nicer to look at in some eyes (config option [view] frame: True) (Christian
  Geier)
• events can now be duplicated (default keybinding: p) (Christian Geier)
• events created while time ranges are selected (default keybinding to enable date range
  selection: v) will default to that date range (Christian Geier)
• when trying to delete recurring events, users are now asked if they want to
  delete the complete event or just this instance (Christian Geier)

v0.6.0

• BUGFIX Recurrent events with a THISANDFUTURE parameter could affect other
  events. This could lead to events not being found by the normal lookup
  functionality when they should and being found when they shouldn't. As the
  second case should result in an error that nobody reported yet, I hope nobody
  got bitten by this.
• new dependency for running the tests: freezegun
• new dependency for setup from scm: setuptools_scm
• khal now needs to be installed for building the documentation
• ikhal's should now support ctrl-e, ctrl-a, ctrl-k and ctrl-u in editable text

  and left (Pierre David)

  Unterwaditzer)
