****************************************
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
