Release v2.20.0 (#286)

Release 2.20.0.

**Added**
- Long-press an event's title, location or description to copy it ([#195]).
- Settings → About lists the open-source projects Calendula ships, with
  copyright holder, licence and a link to each project's source ([#281]).

**Changed**
- Week and day view seat every hour in its own rounded cell instead of drawing a
  separator line across the column; an on-the-hour event fills its cell rather
  than overhanging the seam ([#113]).
- Event titles run to the edge of their chip in all three grid views — no
  ellipsis. RTL keeps it, where clipping would cut the start of the title
  ([#164]).
- Month events show their start time where the chip is wide enough, and event
  times across month, week and day are set in a regular weight ([#219]).
- An invitation you haven't answered is drawn as an outline; declined events
  keep their filled, struck-through chip and now sort last in the month view
  ([#230]).
- The top-bar title falls back to a shorter form instead of being cut off, and
  the bar's trailing edge lines up with the grid under it ([#165]).
- The jump-to-today button carries today's date and rolls over at midnight
  ([#220]).
- The quick-switch pill hides when there is nothing to switch between, and views
  can now be turned off down to a single one ([#150]).

**Fixed**
- A long location wraps and its card grows, instead of scrolling sideways out of
  sight ([#273]).
- The event form capitalizes sentences again; location stays uncapitalized,
  being as often a URL as an address ([#146]).
- A dragged block's floating copy wraps its time and title the way the block
  does, instead of clipping to one line while held ([#267]).

### Release preparation

`versionName`/`versionCode` → 2.20.0/22000, `CHANGELOG.md`'s Unreleased section
moved under a dated 2.20.0 heading, and a hand-written 497-character
`fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs/22000.txt`.

Six of the merged PRs had no CHANGELOG entry (#146, #150, #195, #230, #267,
#281); they are written up here. The existing #164 entry only described the
month view and did not mention the RTL exception — both corrected.

### Also here

`scripts/check_changelog_lengths.sh`, run in CI next to the reproducible-release
invariant. Play rejects a "What's New" over 500 characters, which would fail the
upload *after* the release had already shipped to F-Droid and Codeberg —
2.19.4 went out at 697. The script walks every locale, fails on the current
`versionCode` and only warns on the already-published files, of which 13 are
over the limit from when the pipeline auto-generated them from `CHANGELOG.md`.

Deviation worth naming: this does not fix those 13. They are published and Play
never re-reads them, so failing on them would paint every PR red for no gain;
`--strict` covers them if they are ever backfilled.

Follow-up filed as #285 — the store listing exists in only 4 of 12 locales and
its graphics still don't qualify for Play.

All twelve issues above are closed by their own PRs; this branch ships them.

-## [Unreleased]
+## [2.20.0] — 2026-09-07
+
+### Added
+- **Long-press to copy.** Holding down the title, the location or the
+  description on an event puts that whole field on the clipboard. Tapping still
+  does what it always did — the location opens maps, a link in the description
+  opens — and the times, calendar, repeat rule and guests stay uncopyable. Below
+  Android 13 a short confirmation appears; from Android 13 on the system shows
+  its own clipboard chip ([#195]).
+- **The open-source projects Calendula ships** are now listed under Settings →
+  About, each with its copyright holder and licence, and each row tapping
+  through to that project's source ([#281]).
+
+### Changed
+- Event titles no longer end in an ellipsis. The "…" took the width of a couple
+  of characters and told you nothing you couldn't already see, so the title now
+  simply runs to the edge of its chip in the month, week and day views — a few
+  more letters per event, which is often the difference between two events you
+  can tell apart and two you can't. Right-to-left languages keep the ellipsis,
+  where clipping would cut the beginning of a title rather than its end
+  ([#164]).
+- Month-view events now show their start time before the title, where the chip
+  is wide enough to keep the title readable — in landscape, on a foldable and on
+  a tablet, and never at the cost of a narrow phone column. All-day events show
+  no time, and neither does a bar carried in from the previous week, whose start
+  is not in that row. Event times across the month, week and day views are also
+  set in a regular weight against the title's, so a time reads as a time rather
+  than as part of the name next to it ([#219]).
+- **The hour lines in week and day view are now an hour grid.** The setting
+  that drew a faint separator line at each hour now seats every hour in its own
+  rounded cell, so an hour boundary reads as the seam between two surfaces
+  rather than a line drawn across one — the same negative space that separates
+  the month grid's days and the week's columns. An event that starts on the hour
+  fills its cell instead of overhanging the seam, and one that runs past
+  midnight still meets the edge of its column ([#113]).
+- **An invitation you haven't answered now reads as an outline.** An event still
+  waiting on your reply is drawn with the calendar's colour on its border and
+  its title and nothing behind it, so it stands apart from the ones you have
+  accepted — on the month chips, the all-day bars and the week and day blocks
+  alike. Declined events keep their filled, struck-through chip and now sort
+  last in the month view as well, so a day with more events than fit drops the
+  ones you said no to first ([#230]).
+- The calendar titles now shorten instead of being cut off. When the full month
+  name doesn't fit the top bar, the month and week views fall back to its
+  three-letter form and the day view drops the weekday, rather than trailing off
+  mid-word at large font sizes. The view switcher, the title and the agenda's
+  range bar also line up with the grid underneath them ([#165]).
+- The jump-to-today button in the toolbar now shows today's date. It drew a
+  generic calendar icon, which told you nothing you didn't already know from
+  tapping it; it now carries the current day number in an outlined box, so the
+  bar says what day it is as well as taking you there. It rolls over at midnight
+  on its own ([#220]).
+- The quick-switch pill disappears when there is nothing left to switch between,
+  and you can now turn calendar views off all the way down to a single one — the
+  setting used to hold two open purely to keep the pill fed ([#150]).
+
+### Fixed
+- **A long location no longer runs off the edge of its field.** The location on
+  the edit screen sat on one line, so a full postal address or a long meeting
+  link scrolled sideways out of sight as you typed it. It now wraps and the card
+  grows to fit, with the pin and the contacts button staying level with the first
+  line at any font size. A multi-line address you paste in is joined with commas
+  — the way one picked from your contacts always has been — instead of running
+  together into a single word ([#273]).
+- **The event form capitalizes sentences again.** The title, description and
+  guest fields had stopped starting a sentence with a capital letter; they
+  follow the keyboard's usual behaviour once more. The location is deliberately
+  left alone, since it is as often a URL as an address ([#146]).
+- **A block you pick up no longer loses its second line.** Dragging an event
+  whose time or title wrapped to two lines clipped the floating copy to one line
+  for as long as you held it, and it snapped back on drop. The copy now measures
+  its text exactly as the block does ([#267]).
