[Zope-Annce] CPSSharedCalendar 1.0.0 released

[Lennart Regebro]

July 26, 2005 -- Nuxeo is happy to release CPSSharedCalendar 1.0.0

CPSSharedCalendar is an advanced, flexible calendaring component for
Zope and CPS3. It allows CPS users to access personal calendars using a
web interface. Events on the calendar can be shared between multiple
users, as a user can invite others to an event. This event will then
appear on the calendar of the invited users as well.

Features of the CPSSharedCalendar include among others:

    * a web interface for managing calendars,
    * integration with iCalendar clients (Apple iCal, Mozilla Sunbird,
      KOrganizer...) using the iCalendar protocol,
    * invitation workflow,
    * meeting support,
    * meeting helper that looks for free time,
    * etc.

CPSSharedCalendar is built on a reusable core and is thus not just for
CPS. It has been written from the ground up to be easy to integrate with
other Zope 2 platforms such as Plone and Silva, and with portability to
Zope 3 in mind. Its python core component (CalCore) can even be used
outside of Zope altogether.

For more functional and technical information, see the CPSSharedCalendar
web site:

CPSSharedCalendar can be downloaded here:

Look at the README.txt file in the package for more information on how
to install CPSSharedCalendar.

If you'd like to help with CPSSharedCalendar development or porting to
other platforms, please join the cps-devel mailing list at
http://lists.nuxeo.com/mailman/listinfo/cps-devel (a dedicated list will
be created if needed in the future).


Changes from 1.0.0b2 includes:
    * French translation.
    * A field for attaching CPS documents.
    * More efficient use of the display area by "collapsing"
      events outside normal workhours.
    * "ToolTips" for events displaying more information.
    * Much improved support for non-CPS Zope2 installations.
    * Many, small bugfixes, thanks to testing by both clients and other
      interested parties. Thanks to all of you, for helping us
      improve CPSSharedCalendar!
