0.16.0 released

By: Mario Matzulla

IT IS DONE!!!

After months of work, 110 bugfixes, countless new features and sleepless hours, we finally released version 0.16.0 today.

Besides the new cal release a new baby: cal_ts_service has also been born. It is the ultimate service to connect any db-table with cal - just through a typoscript configuration. There are 6 examples included!

With the release of cal_ts_service, the other 2 cal services (cal_tt_news_service and cal_news_event_service) are now obsolete!


ATTENTION:
Be careful when updating to 0.16.0. You need to run the 'UPDATE!' script in the extension manager after installing 0.16.0.
You also have to make sure, you have all static templates included -> we have split them into parts!!!


CHANGELOG:

Here is a high level overview of what the changes are:

- Full localization of records.
- Added event attendees and basic scheduling.
- Converted all internal date handling to PEAR date.
- Converted date storage from UNIX timestamp to yyyymmdd.
- Added support for dates prior to 1970 and after 2030 with the two date changes described above.
- Updated naming conventions for many Typoscript objects.
- Added configuration options and improved output of RSS feeds.
- Added frontend users as event organizer source.
- Totally refactored frontend editing.
- Moved frontend editing and ICS export to individual static templates.
- Added support for attaching images and files to events.
- Added full Typoscript reference to the manual.

0.17.0 FORECAST:

We will mainly work on the frontend layout. Therefore we need your help, since we are no experts. If you are an expert in XHTML and/or CSS and you want to help us, than get in touch with us. You tell us how it should look and we'll make it work inside the extension
