I put together the readme notes and known bug list for Alpha3. Let me know if you see anything wrong, missing etc. Sheila **************************************** Users wanting to check out the latest progress on Chandler, can download our new milestone, Alpha3 which builds on Alpha2 by providing a sneak preview of some of the features we are implementing for 0.7. The work for Alpha3 centers around the following goals: + Background sync + Intel Mac support + Performance improvements New features in this milestone: + Background sync + Synching calendars as well as publish and subscribe operations now run in the background. This means you can continue to use the application while a sync is running. + By default, calendars sync every hour. + Using the Collection->Synchronization preferences menu you can change this option from every 1/2 hour to once a day. + Users will still have the option to force a sync manually. + Intel Mac support + Chandler can now be built and run on the Intel Mac platform. + We also provide separate downloads for both the PPC and Intel Mac on the downloads page. + We have made a number of architecture changes to improve performance + Some operations were loading all items in a collection -- we changed this behavior with a series of fixes + The column header renders faster (use of freeze/thaw in the column header when changing text) + Optimizations in looking up events for a given week, including use of the "sub-index" feature to look for recurring events + Further progress on internationalization + Integration with wxWidgets i18n (dialogs are now localizable) + Unit and functional tests cover non-ascii characters in all displayable strings, non-ascii filenames, etc. + i18n egg support + Numerous i18n related bug fixes + Other stuff + Search UI in toolbar (assuming this doesn't drop out -- I'm surprised not to see it this morning) + Zanshin free-busy query support + Numerous bug fixes reported by users: alpha3 is first dogfoodable release since 0.6.1 For a complete list of major known bugs see list at http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/ZeroPointSevenAlpha3KnownBugs |
