This looks promising. I uninstalled BBDB 2.35 and installed the package 20131116.1130 (with list-packages). From reading the comments in bbdb-anniv.el I put (add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries) in init.el. I added a birthday to a contact with: - M-x bbdb (found a record) - i birthday 29-11-1955 (tried a few other formats as well) - save the record. When I open the calendar, I don't see anything on the 29th. A few related questions: Is there anything I need to do to update my database to the new BBDB version? Can arbitrary anniversaries be added, e.g. death? When I open a message in Gnus I see: run-hooks: Symbol's function definition is void: bbdb/gnus-pop-up-bbdb-buffer. Any hints to fix this? I tried setting bbdb-use-pop-up to nil without success. Please excuse me if there is any documentation I'm missing that describes these issues.
