May 12^th, 2008 - Version 1.8.0

Improved Mac Installation - Calgoo Calendar for Mac OS X now includes a drag and drop installer to make it easier to install and update Calgoo Calendar.

Improved Multi-User support - Each user now has their own database, layout and logfile. The new location for these files is in "Documents and Settings/username/Calgoo" for Windows users and "Users/username/Calgoo" for Mac users. To backup your database, copy the "data" folder you find there. Also, this logfile will be the one you send to us should you need support. Additionally, Calgoo Calendar is now installed as "Calgoo Calendar" to your Program Files/Applications instead of "Calgoo." You can delete the old "Calgoo" folder once you have upgraded to a new version of Calgoo Calendar.

Known Issues

Apple iCal - Reminders are not synchronized with Apple iCal due to incompatibilities between Calgoo Calendar reminders and iCal. Additionally, attendees without email addresses are synchronized, but cannot be displayed in Calgoo Calendar. Allday events might shift by one day when displayed in iCal on MacOS 10.5 when using certain timezones. The simultaneous use of other sync products might cause delays.

Changing Accept/Decline Status - Users changing their accept/decline status on Google events that they did not create will see an error during synchronization. It is recommended that users do not modify their attendee status at this time. For more information, please see the bug report on Google.

Vista and Outlook - Due to the security in Vista, Calendar cannot establish a connection to Outlook for synchronization or creating a new calendar unless both Calendar and Outlook are running with the same permissions. A fix for users can be found here.

30 Boxes Synchronization - 30 Boxes does not support all of the elements of an event that Calgoo Calendar supports. Only event summaries, descriptions, time, tags, and location can be synchronized. Invitations can be modified in other calendar applications, but cannot be updated to 30 Boxes. Additionally, 30 Boxes does not support all forms of recurrence, so some recurring events may not be displayed properly in 30 Boxes. Accept/Decline status for invitations cannot be synchronized to 30 Boxes, so changes made to Accept/Decline status in 30 Boxes may not appear in your other Calgoo Calendar.

No Multiple Reminders - Google Calendar supports multiple reminders at different intervals, but Calgoo does not. When synchronizing events from Google; if the event contains more than one reminder, only the first one is synchronized.

Different handling of recurring events - For a recurring event with a start date being a Monday but set to occur every Tuesday, Google Calendar counts the first Monday as one of the occurrences, but Outlook Calendar does not. Calgoo Calendar currently follows the behaviour in Google Calendar.

Syncing back causes Attendees' events duplication - If you synchronize calendar Google1 with Outlook1, and then synchronize Outlook1 with Google2, your event's attendees will be invited again, thus duplicating the event in their Google Calendar. This is due to a design incompatibility with Google Calendar. To prevent your attendees from seeing these duplicated events, you may ask them to switch off the automatically add invitations to my calendar option in Google Calendar.

Attendees cannot modify recurring events - In Outlook Calendar, changes made to an existing recurring event in which you are an attendee, but not the author, will not synchronize properly to Google Calendar. This does not affect any other events. This is due to a server side defect on Google Calendar.

Modifications in Calendar may not be recognized - Modifications to events during synchronization in Calgoo Calendar may not be updated to external sync sources. It is recommended that you do not modify, create, or delete events during synchronization.
