2.18.0

Cut 2.18.0. Adds the retroactive entries for #114 and #70, whose PRs
landed on main directly rather than on this branch.

The fastlane changelog is now hand-written and capped at 500 chars —
Play rejects longer "What's New" text and F-Droid truncates it, while
copying the CHANGELOG.md section produced up to 8k chars. The sync
script keeps a committed file and only falls back to CHANGELOG.md when
one is missing.

 - A new event no longer always lasts an hour. **Settings → New event form →

   setting an end time by hand keeps it. An event another app hands over with only
   a start gets the default too; one that names its own end — an `.ics` file, a
   duplicate — keeps that length. All-day events are unaffected ([#54]).
+- Week and day view can be set to show more or less of the day at once, under
+  Settings → Views → Week & day → **Hour height**. **Fit whole day** sizes an
+  hour to your screen so all 24 hours are visible without scrolling — on a tall
+  phone the old fixed spacing showed only about half a day, so appointments
+  could sit below the fold all week. Compact and Comfortable are fixed steps
+  either side of the previous spacing, which stays the default. Both views share
+  the setting ([#56]).
+- Week and day view can be **pinched** with two fingers to set the hour height
+  directly, anywhere between and beyond the named steps. The time under your
+  fingers stays put as it zooms, so you keep your place in the day. A pinched
+  height is remembered and appears as **Custom** in the Hour height setting, so
+  tapping a named step there takes you back to it ([#56]).
 
 ### Changed

   date surfaces and every other calendar app. The status bar draws that icon as
   a plain silhouette, so its shape is the only thing that could tell them apart
   ([#83]).
+- Event blocks now only draw text they can draw whole. One too short for a full
+  line shows no title rather than a sliced one, a block that cannot fit both its
+  title and its time keeps the title, and a block too narrow to hold more than a
+  syllable stays on one ellipsised line instead of stacking letters down the
+  block. Tapping and the spoken description are unchanged ([#56]).
+- Calendar colours are reworked so text on an event is always readable. They
+  were shaped by a brightness setting that does not match what the eye sees, so
+  whether a block got dark or light text depended on which hue you happened to
+  pick — an orange calendar took dark text while a red one beside it took light
+  — and colours landing in between were hard to read either way. Each colour now
+  keeps its hue and is moved clear of that middle: most become deep blocks with
+  light text, while naturally pale colours such as yellow stay pale and take
+  dark text, rather than being forced into a muddy brown. Dots, stripes and
+  icons are tuned separately from blocks, so they stay visible against the
+  background instead of sharing a colour meant to sit behind text. The setting
+  is now called **Harmonise calendar colours**; turning it off still shows the
+  raw colours from your calendar source ([#21], [#36]).
+
+### Fixed
+- The back gesture closes the sidebar instead of the app. With the drawer open,
+  swiping back left Calendula altogether rather than putting the sidebar away
+  ([#114]).
+- The sidebar lines up. "Calendula", "View" and "Calendars" now share the left
+  edge of the rows under them, and the view, jump-to-date, Settings and calendar
+  rows sit on one vertical axis instead of each icon finding its own — the same
+  alignment the Settings screens use ([#114]).
+- The status- and navigation-bar icons follow Calendula's own light/dark choice.
+  Setting the app dark while the system stayed light — or the other way round —
+  left the clock and battery drawn for the system's theme, so they could sit
+  near-invisible against the app's own bar ([#70]).
