0.4.0

released on 2015-02-02

dependency changes

• new dependency: click>3.2
• removed dependency: docopt
• note to package mantainers: requirements.txt has been removed, dependencies are still listed in setup.py

note to users

• users will need to delete the local database, no data should be lost (and khal will inform the user about this)

new and changed features

• new config_option: [default] print_new, lets the user decide what should be printed after adding a new event
• new config option: [default] show_all_days lets users decide if they want to see days without any events in agenda and calendar view (thanks to Pierre David)
• khal (and ikhal) can now display weeknumbers
• khal new can now create repetitive events (with –repeat), see documentation (thanks to Eric Scheibler)
• config file: the debug option has been removed (use khal -v instead)
• FIX: vtimezones were not assembled properly, this lead to spurious offsets of events in some other calendar applications
• change in behaviour: recurring events are now always expanded until 2037
• major speedup in inserting events into the caching database, especially noticeable when running khal for the first time or after an deleting the database (Thanks to Markus Unterwaditzer)
• better support for broken events, e.g. events ending before they start (Thanks to Markus Unterwaditzer)
• more recurrence rules are supported, khal will print warnings on unsupported rules

ikhal

• ikhal’s calendar should now be filled on startup
• pressing t refocuses on today
• pressing ctrl-w in input fields should delete the last word before the cursor
• when the focus is set on the events list/editor, the current date should still be visible in the calendar

0.3.1

released on 2014-09-08

• FIX: events deleted in the vdir are not shown anymore in khal. You might want to delete your local database file, if you have deleted any events on the server.
• FIX: in some cases non-ascii characters were printed even if unicode_symbols is set to False in the config
• FIX: events with different start and end timezones are now properly exported (the end timezone was disregarded when building an icalendar, but since timezones cannot be edited anyway, this shouldn’t have caused any problems)
• FIX: calendars marked as read-only in the configuration file should now really be read-only

0.3.0

released on 2014-09-03

• new unified documentation

  • html documentation (website) and man pages are all generated from the same sources via sphinx (type make html or make man in doc/, the result will be build in build/html or build/man respectively
  • the new documentation lives in doc/
  • the package sphinxcontrib-newsfeed is needed for generating the html version (for generating an RSS feed)
  • the man pages live doc/build/man/, they can be build by running make man in doc/sphinx/

• new dependencies: configobj, tzlocal>=1.0

• IMPORTANT: the configuration file’s syntax changed (again), have a look at the new documentation for details

• local_timezone and default_timezone will now be set to the timezone the computer is set to (if they are not set in the configuration file)
