   Now a bigger widget gets bigger, more readable type and roomier rows, while the
   default size looks exactly as before — no new setting; it follows the size you
   already chose ([#51]).
+- Calendula now appears under other apps' "Add to calendar" / "Save to calendar"
+  actions. Some apps (e.g. DB Navigator) fire the widely-used "insert event"
+  intent with the singular `vnd.android.cursor.item/event` type, which Calendula
+  didn't advertise — so it was left out of the chooser, and if it was your only
+  calendar app the save silently did nothing. It now accepts that form, plus the
+  `INSERT_OR_EDIT` action, and opens the new event prefilled for review ([#74]).
+- Opening a `.ics`/`.vcs` file now works even when another app hands it over
+  mislabelled as a generic download (`application/octet-stream`), as some mail
+  clients, browsers and file managers do — Calendula recognises it by its file
+  extension instead of relying on the declared type ([#74]).

+                   carries an event id.
